Track Background
Jerkin’ is the new style of rap out of SoCal, Jay-Z famously dissed it because the Jerks wear skinny jeans. Fuck Jay-Z, this style of rap is fresh. So fresh – it deserved a bangin’ bootleg electro-house remix. If Jay-Z is lucky, maybe I’ll remix one of his tracks.
Read more about Jerkin on Wikipedia. There are a couple interesting article links at the bottom of the Wikipedia page.

Production Notes
Yes, I made my own acapella. There was none available. Its a mix of multi-band EQ and sidechained compression, as well as out and out channel muting.
I will be releasing some drum loops, sound outtakes, and minimal instrumental sections/dub versions for DJ use. I might release my homebrew acapella later.
The song was done in Ableton Live 8 Studio edition, my favorite music software. Mastering was in both Ableton and Audacity, which is a cool open source audio editor.
