Biography
Since 1986, The Evolution Control Committee has steadily built a worldwide reputation as one of the most influential and leading mash-up bands by assembling samples and sounds into cut-and-paste masterpieces. But the cut-and-paste doesn’t end there: Their Thimbletron invention allows for uniquely live cutting and pasting. And now the ECC once again breaks new ground with The Wheel Of Mashup. Two wheels, actually: the outer one chooses the music and the inner one chooses the vocals. The ECC’s incredible Vidimasher 3000 mashes them together instantly.
It’s illegal music, and long before computers made it easy to be a copyright criminal, The ECC was violating copyright laws the hard way.
