Boy was this a surprise. I was expecting your average Joe YouTube user with a USB microphone. Instead, I got blasted with a full on professional multitrack masterpiece. I really can’t explain how amazing it is to hear Toyz Noize interpreted with real life instruments. The result is a warm, fresh track that sounds absolutely amazing. Everyone I’ve shown this to has loved it, and I’m sure you will too. This is one gem you don’t want to miss.

The first time I saw this, it started my day off with a good laugh. Skye, the young chap busting his moves, has interpreted practically every vocal sample throughout ‘Upular’ as a dance routine. It’s simply too energetic to put into words. I’d love to know what this guy has for breakfast. Not only did Skye’s video receive a good laugh as part of my talk for OnCopyright 2010 in New York, but apparently it’s had the good people at Pixar in stitches as well. This video makes my list of favorites without question.

Josh Kershaw, preferably known as Jeesh on the web, has created this wonderful remix of Disney’s Robin Hood. It’s charming, warm, dreamy and cheerful, and packs in a whimsical beat as if that’s not enough. I used to watch this film a lot on VHS as a child, and I have to say, Jeesh has captured its charm to a T. It’s food for the soul and starts your day off just right. Recommended for anyone in need of a happiness hit.

Just before I left for work around 7am one morning, I discovered this amazing little number on YouTube and became hypnotized immediately. The divine chords and gentle vocals are just beautiful, and I had them playing on a loop in my head on the train to work. RemixLuke has succeeded in creating an amazingly simple yet infectious melody, and I’m happy to say it plays frequently on my iPod.

If this isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is. From the same chap who brought us the ‘Upular’ dance, this insanely intricate remix of Groundhog Day had me compelled and fascinated from start to finish. Skye has developed a style of his own with this whimsical, ever-changing ensemble, and it’s a piece of art you really need to see twice in order to appreciate the shear number of sounds he’s used from the film. It’s funny, it’s impressive, and it even gets emotional. This is a feast for your eyes, ears and soul that you’ll feel honored to have experienced.
