Kjwan meets Sitti in a one mash up performance for Coke Studio Volume Up!

The months and weeks for music will never stop, especially when it comes to music mash ups and collaboration again for the Coca Cola Music Studio, this 2nd season they are featuring another top artist for the Coke Studio Volume Up! This episode we will see the rock band Kjwan to jam up with bossa nova solo artist Sitti. Will we see Sitti do the head bang thing under Kjwan’s music? Or shall we see Kjwan do the kembot thing under Sitti’s voice? To find it out, let’s watch the new episode here at http://musicstudio.coca-cola.com.ph/



More story below







Sitti’s “Wag mo munang sasabihin” and Kjwan’s “Pintura” are mixed into one song, at first I saw Sitti started to carried away with Kjwan’s guitar riffs and drum beats in their video performance, you know that the song “Pintura” is one of the heaviest rock song of Kjwan and I’m not really sure on how will they ever blend it with Sitti’s style, I’m also thinking if will they do a bossa side or the rock side?



This is the hardest music mash up ever for the entire season and its great to see our local artist to take up the challenge and try fusing their music style into another styles, I think Coke Studio Volume Up! is different from season 1, because in their 1st episode for season 2, we saw that they are trying to fuse not just the song, but also for the music style.



For me, this is a must watch performance of Sitti and Kjwan.



Coca-Cola Music Studio airs 5:30 to 6:00pm every Sunday on MYX, with replays on Tuesday at 7:30 to 8:00pm

Coke Studio: Volume Up! pilot concert episode

Kjwan



There will be more mash up songs and performance coming from Coca Cola Music Studio, they have another batch of local artist and bands to do a performance with a collaborative effort to mix their songs into a one mash up song, imagine mixing a slow type of song with a heavy rock or catchy beat from another song. This week they have released a new episode via the website http://musicstudio.coca-cola.com.ph/ , the Coke Studio Volume Up! (more below)



This 2nd season of mash up kicks off with a mini-concert by Champ, Callalily, Sitti and Kjwan. I’m excited to see them and hear their music especially the mixing of the samba style of Sitti and hard rock of Kjwan, who I heard is the first mash-up pair for Season 2! I’m also very excited to see how Callalily will blend with the band Kiss Jane, and we saw Champ is on the list but his mash up partner haven’t revealed, could be another band? I know they can do a rock mash up, because Champ came from the band Hale, and it will be just a fusion of two rock band with different styles in lyrics.



If ever I’m going to have a wish list for this mash up project of Coca Cola, I can wish for some oldies mashing up with a newbie artist, that’s a challenge, so make my mash up wish come true. Watch the pilot concert and opening the hype for Coke Studio: Volume Up! to see what will they present to us. The pilot concert is a teaser on what the artist can show for the main mash up performance, are you excited ?



Once again there will be interviews and backstage moments in video and photos that are posted in the official website of Coca Cola Music Studio, you can watch all episode online for free, but if you are on TV, try to catch the telecast of some episodes on Myx.

Coke Music Studio season 1 recap

 

Few weeks ago, we featured lots of pinoy musicians for doing a mash up and collaboration for the Coca Cola Music Studio, if you don’t know yet about this music project, then log in to the site http://musicstudio.coca-cola.com.ph/ and then watch and listen to new music provided by our talented local solo artist and bands.  (MORE STORY AND RECAP BELOW)
 

Last February 2011, we saw the mash up performance of Gloc 9 and Tanya Markova, I will never forget the awesome team up of these two, because their performance and mixing their songs are like a big cross over in a comic book, it’s a fusion of different worlds just like mixing the rap of Gloc 9 and the catchy music and lyrics of Tanya Markova, the fusion of two songs came from Gloc 9’s “Bakit” and Tanya Markova’s “Picture Picture”, here we saw that the two songs are related and shares the same theme. Its great also to hear that the two artist love the idea of working together to form a new song and Tanya Markova revealed that they wish that Gloc 9 is a part of their band.

On the month of March 2011, on the 2^nd leg of the Coca Cola Music Studio, we spotted another team up of Yeng Constantino and the band Pedicab for another mash up. At first I thought that the mash up will turn into a disco music using Yeng’s “Jeepney Love Story” and Pedicab’s “FX” ,but watching the entire interview and behind the scenes footage, they revealed that they too enjoyed working together to do a collab music content for everyone, the mix of two songs are perfect and the theme of each songs are the same, Jeepney and FX are the most popular form of land transportation here in our country and each songs features a story to tell, I already dubbed this song as “para!” Both artists are into rock, mixing electronica of Pedicab and a great rock spirited music by Yeng, this is one of my favorite mash up for Coca Cola Music Station and I hope they release this in mp3 format in the future.
 

Mid April 2011 is another episode week for Coca Cola Music Studio, girls are screaming whenever they hear the names of this artist, JayR and Sponge Cola, their collab might be the crowd favorite for college students because their music styles can influence more to the youth. Sponge Cola band revealed via their interview in the website that they love RnB music and hip hop that’s why they did a successful collaboration with JayR, even that it’s their first time to meet. The excitement of this collaborative project for music doubled their performance after that JayR mix his song “Design 4 Luv” with the rock music of Sponge Cola’s “Puso”. I also like this collaboration because the two have different music styles but they coped on to each other and tried the other side of the artists’  music genre. This is the real mash up for me. As they say,Rock music can fit to any kind of music genres.

For May 2011, we saw Solo RnB artist Kyla and General Luna band did another mash up for us and its like a version of a female rock and RnB music collaboration, I even compared this to the Sponge Cola and JayR mash up performance ,I caught this episode on TV when  they air it on Myx, I paused for awhile and listened of their music will blend, Kyla’s music for RnB is not the same like from JayR, but here in an all girl music team up, both artists pulled if off by mixing their songs “Mahal Kita” by Kyla and “Tila” by General Luna, as the band shared it via the interview, the band’s vocalist Nicole, said that the both songs shared the same theme and emotions. The performance is energetic and it is my first time to see General Luna on the TV and also here online performing with another artist, you can only see that here at the Coca Cola Music Studio.




There will be more mash up in the coming future, so better log in to http://musicstudio.coca-cola.com.ph/
