Brother Jules did the original "Remix Experience" back in the day. It's still awesome.

.

Except he didn't, as explained in the a.m.p post earlier in this thread.


Good catch.

Oh please. Ever heard of Coldcut's Journeys By DJ? Or going back a decade further: Ben Liebrand's minimixes?

It has to be official because if it wasn't Bro Jules would be celebrating his CD's release at the police station on November 22.

Now why would he challenge WB? IDK. Unless TRE is estate approved and 4ever is part of a contract P has signed before he passed, as had been suggested before, and there's some tension between the estate and WB around it, and Jules is tacitely addressing it, I don't understand what he is doing.



I doubt he has licensed the tracks from the estate. And asking people to buy his crap instead of the WB release is just plain wrong.

You do understand that he has to have had licenced the tracks from someone, do you?

It is not possible, in the US of A, to use copyrighted recordings without licencing them.

Jules would already have received a C&D and, had he received one and not put an end to his project, he would be facing a million dollars lawsuit.

Either that or Jules has relocated in Lithuania or North Korea nod

I don't understand how there can be a debate regarding the legality of this.

People break copyright laws on a daily basis. How many people are using Prince's copyrights symbol on shirts, cups, hats and anything else they can? Jules may get his letter sooner then later just for the horror of what he is doing.

I found an interview on SoundCloud from 2013 with Jules and near the beginning of the interview, he says he 'works with Londell' and so there won't be any cease and desist letters coming at him. I haven't finished listening to the entire interview yet.

One cannot have a normal conversation with you if you're going to choose to be either bad faith or irrational (IDK which one it is).

Jules. Doing. What. He's. Doing. In. Plain. Sight. And. Getting. Away. With. It. For. Nearly. Six. Months. Is. Impossible.

Not unlikely. Impossible. Everyone in the Prince-related community is aware of his project, and God knows he publicizes it enough to make sure it is the case.

Now believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny if you must, there's no point in me wasting my time arguing with you.

The ONLY thing I've seen to suggest this isn't legit (legally anyway) is the threads on the org that led to his promotion being deleted. So, it's obvious SOMEONE here thinks it's not legit and is/was afraid of linking to a bootleg. Nothing else indicates this is true. As databank says, this would have been squashed long ago if it wasn't officially sanctioned.

That said, the mixes I've heard so far are so bad that I haven't even bothered to listen to the "EP" that is circulating. The only thing nice I can say is I like the artwork that has leaked. The music, not so much.

Someone was kind enough to share it with me... I listened to the Brother Jules Remix EP...

It is trash. It's hard to believe this is by someone who knows or even likes Prince's music. Terrible, terrible, mishmash random remixing with no sensitivity or vibe at all.

I'm glad I didn't pay for that shit.

And the letter pleading support for his release instead of 4Ever is abysmal behaviour.

Makes me want to buy 4Ever more, just to spite this hack.... in fact, maybe it's reverse psychology at work ! biggrin

Either way, that shitty remix EP got deleted quick before it could contaminate my music hard drive.

Bleeuugghh.

The mods (particularly one) are hyperparanoid (and have reasons to, seeing how this site has been harrassed in the past), that's also the reason why the [selfsnip] live releases cannot be linked or even talked about here even thougth they are legit.

No mods have claimed that Jules' releases aren't legit, they just say that as long as there is a margin of doubt, they won't allow links.

Now why is there a margin of doubt? Because some people here suggested there is in the first place.

Hopefully relations between the Org and whomever is in charge of the estate will be better than relations with prince were. I hope the estate will reach out to us and that Ben and the mods can stop living in fear of a C&D or 1M lawsuit threat.

The fact that the websites archives website has been suspended within days of its birth shows that the estate is watching. Even if Jules had been insane enough to attempt such a project without permission, he would have been shut down long ago.

"[selfsnip]"? ? Did you actually type the forbidden name, and then go back--or did you originally plan to type it that way the first time through? And have you really got in trouble for mentioning them? Before or after folks started posting video links for performances? (because I can't even begin to guess what the rules are anymore, but it seems like they're being routinely defied)

It was more making fun of that one mod (kindly, no grudge here we're cool wink ) because they would snip orgers, me included, for even naming the website in the past (let alone linking to it). It may be cooler now, IDK if the policy has evolved but I guess it has since we can talk about Jules by name. But in doubt...

I'd support DJ Foefur's 70-minute remix way before I'd ever support Jules. That mix is fucking amazing. The layering, the thinking behind it - it was a mash-up before we really knew mash-ups on a wider scale, IMO.

LOL! No kidding. I'm not a fan of remixes in general but Foefur's blows this out of the water.

though in all fairness to Brother Jules i should upload my Amiga 1200 Octamed remix of Housequake to the internet - being only 4 channel 8 bit it would fit inside a large jpeg with machine level instructions to spontaneously take over your graphics card and audio card but i'm not a balls out russian hacker that can do that because i don't work for MI5!
