Hello!

New instance, new pinned intro:

I go by Croc as the name suggests. Formerly on Twitter I used microdile, for reasons not worth going into.

Grew up in the '80s and I have infinite nostalgia for it's music, movies and pop culture.

Love physical media and own over 4000 CDs, 500 vinyls and 500 blu-rays.

Been remixing and DJing for about 25 years as AudioDile, and in furry for almost 30.

Enjoy writing and have a blog at crocumentary.com.

Expect lots of fursuits, wit and introspection!

@croc longtime listener and fan of your #mashups. Glad to find you here on Mastadon! (Thanks to a little help from @djsqwrl )

@pdsmix @djsqwrl

Hey! It's always great to meet fellow music lovers, especially when they like my stuff, which I should do more of haha.

There's actually a few things I've done that are hard to find or not available on the internet. I should make a list.

Also thanks @djsqwrl for the plug!

@croc I would def love some links to stuff not currently available on your website! Also, I have a burning question about your track “More Werewolves Of London”. Did you make that in 2006? And did Kid Rock (and crew) capitalize on your idea in 2008 without attribution? Would love to know more, as I don’t have all the facts.

@pdsmix

2006 sounds right. Back when GYBO was booming.

As for Kid Rock, who knows.. anyone who listens to both songs can hear the similarities and I'm not sure I was the first to do it, just the first time I'd seen it done. It made me roll my eyes a little when I first heard it, but if he'd also borrowed one of the other tracks in my mashup that would be pretty obvious.

I'm not really a Kid Rock fan for various reasons, but it is what it is. Just glad to have made something people enjoy.

@croc and yes, your version is the first I heard, was a bit of a shock to hear it on radio two years later. Yours is very enjoyable and preferable, IMO. The story I’ve gleaned from the other side is that Kid Rock’s DJ at the time, Mike E Clark, made the mashup and Kid Rock didn’t like it; later taking the exact same idea, using it and not crediting Mike E Clark. So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it is what it is.

@pdsmix That figures, LOL.

Here's a screenshot of all the mashups I've done to date. Does not include remixes.

@croc while I have you here, was this an actual vinyl release? Or am I chasing rainbows? https://www.discogs.com/release/13741136-AudioDile-Dont-Touch-That-Dile

Discogs

@pdsmix It's real, but it wasn't ever for sale and it's 1 of 1 copies. Was a gift to me from good friends.

I suppose it shouldn't be on discogs, but I use it to keep track of everything I own and I thought I would be fun to make people wonder. ;)

However...

I have been toying with the idea of putting together CDs of my mashups (and one of remixes). It wouldn't be for sale at shops or anything, I'd probably just distribute copies to people since almost none of it is licensed.

@croc have you checked out https://Remix.audio? Quite the scene of mashup producers there, is hosted in Canada with different IP laws, so no takedowns. Would love to see your work represented there.
@croc LOL, and of course the moment I recommend something the website is down. *facepalm*
