Mochipet Announces Petnation 1st Remix Mochipet is Evil

What is Petnation?
A lot of really talented producers have asked to remix my tunes and but there have never been enough avenues for them to do it through. This is why I am starting Mochipet’s Petnation. Petnation will give up-and-coming producers as well as anyone who Loves Music a chance to remix some Mochipet tunes and get showcased doing it.

How does Petnation Work?
We will be putting remix parts for a new Mochipet Song every month, some unreleased, and some from the back catalog. Producers will get one month to remix the song and then submit it to us via this email petnation@mochipet.com. Mochipet will personally pick one winner per month to showcase on Daly City Records and promoted via Mochipet’s 20,000+ email list and Social Networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Then Every 3 months Mochipet will pick one of the past winners to do his own solo release on the new label “Petnation” a subsidiary of Daly City Records; through this we will help get your songs into Video Games, Commercials, etc. Then at the end of the Year Mochipet will pick one lucky winner to get flown out and put up to perform for a show of his choice on the new Mochipet Stage that is currently in development.

How do I get started?
Download the Remix Parts below for this Month and start having some fun with it. email it back to us at petnation@mochipet.com with the mp3 (320k), short bio, and a photo of yourself. We will be in touch if you are picked as the winner!

Why are you doing this?
Because we really do care about the music.

MORE INFO

Born in Taiwan R.O.C. to Rocket Scientist father and Kindergarten Teacher mother, David Wang (a.k.a. Mochipet) has been tinkering with electronics since he was a child. However, not until he added music to the equation, did something special begin to take shape. Having grown up listening to metal guitar, avant-garde jazz, and mainstream hip-hop, Davids eclectic taste can now be seen in his music ever changing, and always evolving.

His fervency for diversity can also be noted in the mixed bag of his many artist collaborations which include the likes of legendary skateboarder Ray Barbee (Powell Peralta), Techo producer Ellen Allien (Berlin), hip-hop MCs Mikah9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Casual (Hieroglyphics), and Raashan Ahmad (Crown City Rockers), electro Miami gangster Otto Von Schirach , booty bass rockstars 215 The Freshest Kids and Spank Rock (BigDada), mashup glitch tweeker Kid606 (Tigerbeat6), Edwardian suit-wearing Daedelus (Ninjatune), glitch popstars Jahcoozi (Kitty-Yo), and avant-garde jazz legend Weasel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers).
David has also shared the stage with a myriad of influential music pioneers, including Autechre, Bassnectar, Big Boi (Outkast), Boom Bip, Bucovina Club, Cargo Natty, Carl Craig, Chris Clark, Cristian Vogal, Daedelus, DJ Plasticman, DJ Qbert, DJ Spooky, Drop the Lime, Ellen Allien, Excision, Felix Da Housecat, Flying Lotus, Ghislain Poirier, Gift of Gab, Glitchmob, Jahcoozi, Juan Maclean, Ken Ishii, Kid Koala, Luke Vibert, Mary Ann Hobbs, Meat Beat Manifesto, Matmos, M.I.A, Mikah9, Modeselektor, Nit Grit, Otto Von Schirach, Rusko, Skream, Superpitcher, Tipper, The Bug, and Tittsworth, to name a select few. His music has been released on various record labels around the world such as Bpitchcontrol (Berlin), Creaked (Switzerland), Peace-off (France), SCION (Los Angeles), and Tigerbeat6 (Oakland). Mochipet has toured throughout America, Asia and Europe in a wide variety of underground and main stage venues such as 1015 Folsom (San Francisco), Bangface (London), Burning Man (Black Rock City), Caf Du Nord (San Fracisco), Club 6 (San Francisco), Dissonant Festival (Belgium), Electron Festival (Switzerland), Emerg-N-See (Portland), Equalizer Festival (Rotterdam),Gilman (Berkley), Golden Pudel Klub (Hamburg), Hemlock (San Francisco), Independent (San Francisco), Low End Theory (Los Angeles), Mighty (San Francisco), Mission Creek Music Festival (San Francisco), MAO (Beijing), Paradiso (Amsterdam), Point Ephemere (France), Re:Fest (Beligium), Rickshaw Stop (San Francisco), San Jose Museum of Art, Shelter (Shanghai), Sonic Bloom (Colorado), SXSW (Austin), The Echo (Los Angeles), The Smell (Los Angeles), Treasure Island Festival (San Francisco), WMC (Miami), and WMF (Berlin).
The clean and unique vibrations David has presented to the music arena have reached as far as the Sports and Skateboarding world as well. His song Sharp Drest (featuring Eric Solo and oonceoonce) is featured throughout the top-selling basketball videogame, NBA2k9 (http://2ksports.com/games/nba2k9/) alongside artists such as Beastie Boys, N.E.R.D., and The Cool Kids. You may have also heard his musical contributions on FuelTV and DIRECTV, providing hand-selected soundtracks to skate legends such as Anthony Van Engelen, Christian Hasoi, Jason Weeman Acuna, Laban Pheidias, Lance Mountain, Ray Barbee, and Tony Hawk.
David has also held residencies at [Eraser] Club (Los Angeles) and Trouble Club (San Francisco) alongside Djs: [a]pendics shuffle, edIT (Glitchmob), John Tejada, Josh Kit Clayton, Kid606, Matt Laszuk, Philip Sherburne, and Sutekh. He recently started a new monthly in San Francisco called Petnation, selling out the venue beyond capacity while showcasing both local and international acts. His efforts have been recognized throughout the music community by way of nominations for titles including Best Electronic Act of 2008 from publications such as Clash Magazine (UK) and San Francisco Bay Guardian. His composition Dessert Search for Techno Baklava has been performed by a 20 piece orchestra, Alarm Will Sound, around the world, most notably at New Yorks Carnegie Hall, and Amsterdams Holland Festival!
Never wasting an ounce of drive, David founded and manages independent record label, Daly City Records (DCR), which runs out of the Bay Area home to many up-and-coming artists such as Ben Samples, Ill-esha, and Freddy Todd. He is working to finish up two new albums, Mochipet is Evil (with MC Zulu) and Rawr Means I love You in Dinosaur, as well as a side project with LA Based DJ Z-Trip. Look for lots to come from the prolific producer and composer.
