Le Erotici Notti di Emanuelle




Time for a new video! The Le Erotici Notti di Emanuelle off my Pre-Cert LP/CD has nothing to do with Just Jaeckin's 1974 softcore feature starring Sylvia Kristel, as it is a tribute to the Italian-produced exploitation series starring Laura Gemser, mainly Joe D'Amato's 1977 Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals.

The video was pretty fun to do. Using footage from Joe D'Amato's x-rated Erotic Nights of the Living Dead (aka Sexy Nights of the Living Dead and Queen of the Zombies), I went for a VIPCO trailer kind of approach and lucked out as the pacing of the movie really fits the track. In order to make it PG for YouTube I did have to spend some additional time doing creative edits though, but I'm pretty happy with the final results. Check it out above or on my official YouTube channel.

In other news I'm having a t-shirt sale on Teepublic! For the next couple of days all tees are $14, plus postage. A total of thirteen designs, including the Vestron Video tribute logo, you can get yours here.

Acid Washed Remix (update) and The Mutilator!



First off, check out this all-new The Mutilator t-shirt I got via VHS Dreams on Teepublic! Goes nicely with the Arrow Video DVD/Blu-Ray combo I recently got. The Arrow release is (once again, I gotta add) a fan boy's wet dream with a beautiful uncut transfer and tons of bonus goodies, and the t-shirt features unused concept art. Check them out here and here.

EDIT: Seems like I'm not the only fan of this slasher classic. The brilliant Dangerous Minds just posted a mammoth review-slash-Buddy Cooper interview on their website. Check it out here.

In other news I just received the all-new Acid Washed remix. I've given it plenty of spins throughout the day and it sounds amazing! This French DJ duo most recently collaborated with Moby (link below), and listening to the final results I can share that it's very Camp Blood-esque, very dance floor friendly and with a healthy dose of John Carpenter injected into it! Me and Cineploit are currently working out both the artwork and physical details, so stay tuned for more info!

Acid Washed



Here's some exciting news for you to check out: DJ duo Acid Washed just included Voorhees Stomp off my Camp Blood EP on their most recent radio show on Heartbeats. A pleasant surprise indeed, I can't thank the guys enough for sharing my music. Turns out they're fans of this project and have spun the EP on several of their performances. Check out their official Facebook page here and listen to the show here.

The duo most recently remixed Moby's Almost Loved - receiving praise from none other than Mute Records - and although I don't wanna give too much away at the moment, there is a Videogram remix coming later this year. Stay tuned for more info on that one!

In other news, UK's The Scream Review recently gave my Pre-Cert LP/CD a track-by-track review. Calling it an "absolute buy" and with an "entirely unique track list", you can read it in full here.
