A Little Bit On: Eclectic Method [Video Interview]
Eclectic Method is the audiovisual mash-up group responsible for such awesomeness as The Dark Side dubstep remix, The Tarantino Mixtape, Daft Tron, 8Bit Mixtape, and heaps of other insane remixes that will make your eyeballs and ear-holes feel all kinds of sexy.
I had the chance to sit down with Jonny Wilson, one of the group’s three members, at this year’s Virgin Mobile FreeFest where he talks shit on Yoda from the Star Wars series, praises Community star Donald Glover (aka indie hip-hop sensation Childish Gambino), and schools us on his audiovisual mash-up roots. Enjoy!

Virgin Mobile is sending me to FreeFest 2011 AND letting us leak the artist line-up! Check it!
A little bit on FreeFest:
- In 2009, the festival started as a way lighten things up in the face of a rough economy while drawing more attention to The RE*Generation, the company’s platform to address youth homelessness. Thanks to festival attendees in the past two years, Festival has raised nearly $300,000 and generated more than 55,000 hours of volunteer time. We want to continue the tradition this year of raising money and motivation people to give their time to help homeless and at-risk kids.
- Since Virgin Mobile picks up the cost of tickets, they ask that everyone donate $10 or their time to volunteer for RE*Generation. People who volunteer at the Festival are “FreeIPs” and automatically receive a ticket, a hard to come by commodity as tickets normally “free-out” within 30 minutes.
- Virgin Mobile FreeFest will be held September 10th, 2011 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.
