Mochipet is a Glitch-hop producer out of the San Francisco Bay area. When he released his first album, he took time to personally mail it to anyone and everyone who requested it. Since then, he’s gained an outpour of support and toured with everyone from Big Boi to Rusko. We recently sat down with David and asked him a few questions.

Who’s on your playlist right now?

Well I actually mostly just listen to the things I’m sent on Soundcloud. It’s hard to put a spotlight on one particular artist when there are so many out there. Psymbionic has been sending me some great things lately.

What ingredients would you say led to your success?

Am I successful? (pause) Well I guess as long as I’m still making music and traveling, then I am. I think all of my songs are unique because they’re influenced by all kinds of different things. Sticking to my music and putting out a variety of things were major factors. Through that, people in the scene realized that I was going to be around for a while and started reaching out to me.

From idea to distribution, How long does a song//remix take?

Hmm.. Well it depends really, sometimes I sit down and things just fall into place. Other times, I become obsessed with a sound and it’ll take way longer. So I’d say it’s different from track to track.

The definition of “Mochi” is a type of Japanese rice cake molded into shape and a “pet” is a domesticated animal kept for companionship. Do you consider yourself a Domesticated Japanese Rice Cake kept for companionship?

Um… well I wouldn’t say I’m domesticated, just ask my ex-girlfriend, hah. On the hand I guess I’d consider myself a rice cake.

Did some of your friends star in the movie Jurassic Park? If so, anybody we might know?

I wish. I heard the T-Rex from the movie tried to crash one of my parties one time but security tossed him out before he could cause any real damage.

(Laughs) You know it’s funny, I don’t even know how this whole dinosaur thing got started. I wore the outfit to a show once and it just snowballed from there. Fast forward to today and I have posts on my wall for dinosaur shoes, backpacks, and things like that.

I need to ask you something for the sake of my curious female dinosaur readers, are you single?

Uh, Yes I am.

What are your thoughts on Britney Spears bringing Dub-step to kiss FM and other mainstream outlets?

I think it’s great. I’ve toured with Rusko and I gave him shit about it but put in his position, I’d do the same thing. I heard her single not too long ago and it’s a really well produced track.

What’s your setup like and are you more software or hardware based?

I used to be more hardware based when I started. But since then, I’ve kinda evolved and now lean more towards the software side of things. My setup is constantly changing.

Do you produce your music in the dinosaur outfit?

No, uh.. I actually do in my boxers usually. That or naked. (laughs) I mean I get in that mode where I just don’t leave the house for days and only focus on whatever I’m working on at the time. Right? If I don’t have to get out of my house why bother. Haha.

Favorite Sound you’ve created to date?

Um… Rawr? Haha.

Mochipet has a remix of Samples – “Drop Bombs” you can pick up over at Addictech or you can wait for it to hit other the outlets on the 22nd of next month courtesy of Daly City Records.

Automatic Toys is an electro rock band out of Toronto, Canada. The wobblicious “Deep Sleep” is filled with plenty of harmonic synths and the rock vocals simply set it off. These guys just posted a few new tracks on their myspace which can be heard here. Can’t wait to what these guys do next.

First of all, happy fucking new year. I hope yours has been as great as mine so far. If not don’t worry, we’re only three days in.

Second, we have some super secret things in the works to make the Ohh! So Famous! listening experience more enjoyable. As we launch these features we want you to email us with your feedback.

Third, I have a great dub-step remix out of Blackmill to throw up here. This dude is looking to use the proceeds of his music to buy an old house he grew up in with his Grandparents and if his remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Your Song” is a measure of what’s to come… this may happen sooner rather than later.

Skrillex dropped a track on soundcloud that he found while rummaging through his hard drive a few days ago. Has a very 70′s meets electro dub feel and has appropriately been defined as a “Disco Step” track. Wobble Wobble.

TRON comes out today. IMAX here I come.

PS: Shout out to Daft Punk for actually making a sound score to the movie rather than show boating a new Daft Punk album.

Been super in love with these two remixes out of Kill Paris. Both start out with the trance sounds that overwhelmed the clubs in the 90′s and then move right on into the mutilated synths that are Kill Paris. While similar, they both just seem to say, “Let’s destroy something beautiful.”

Zeds Dead is DC and Hooks from Ontario, Canada. They originally sampled hip-hop and released material under the name Mass Productions. As they moved towards the future, Zeds Dead was born. Moving into the realm of dub-step and dropping heavy tracks has landed them a coast to coast tour in the United States. You can find dates here.

Well I love Underoath, Dubstep, and creatures that hang out in stores next to Pocky. J.Lindley out of Orlando, Florida brings us a giant metal-step remix of “Illuminator”.

It’s 4:30 am here and I feel like posting new Dubstep.

I love gritty distorted bass and blip leads so it makes a ton of sense why this next act made a home on my playlist. Here is Broken Haze dropping some giant new tracks out of Neo Tokyo in Japan.

On to the next, we’ve got a brand new track out of Excess. I like this track because it has that whole “I’m meant for big things, I’ve got a plan and this is fucking it” vibe.

I just want to start off by giving a shout out to Leonardo DiCaprio. You’re an incredible actor except in one film. I finished “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” yesterday and found myself thinking once again, he didn’t even try in that movie. Just disappointing. I thought you were suppose to be acting not playing a real life representation of yourself.

Sigh… I forgive… I mean you actually took time to give a shit in your other films and those are pretty good. Oh and before I forget, I have a friend that wants to know if your a method actor. He told me if you are, to tell you he has a gay flick coming up and you’d be perfect for the lead. I’m only kidding, he said you’d be supporting.

Everything aside, these two remixes go hard. Skream can be found here and Troublemaker can be found there. Leo calm down, we love you. Like really fucking love you, but we got jokes. Don’t hate the playa, hate the franchise.

Til next time,

Ohh, how I’ve missed the angst in your music Sonny. “Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count” was dope as hell. “Emily” was the first song I ever learned to play on guitar.

What you came out with right after leaving FFTL was good, but honestly I expected a little more. I have to admit, I turned my back on you for a bit there. For shame. Your “Bad Romance” remix put you back on my radar, but this new shit is so good I think you deserve about 10 of those gold stars we use to get back in elementary school.
