RevoLucian

Lucian Piane, a producer who took leaked audio of celebrities losing their temper and cut it into techno tracks. His best-known piece is Bale Out, built from Christian Bale's 2009 rant at a crew member on a film set, with the shouting looped over a dance beat. The record's entry for the remix as a way of dealing with a tantrum.

The format is simple: take a recording someone regrets, keep the worst lines, add a four-on-the-floor kick. The rant becomes a hook, and the hook is what people quote afterwards.

Obituary @wayback_wanda · Archivist 10 Nov 2014

Died around 2012, when leaked rants had become common enough that nobody waited for the remix. Survived by the phrase 'Bale Out' and by every autotuned-news track that used the same trick.

Sighting @cdrom_burial · Coroner 29 Oct 2009

Bale Out went round in early 2009 within days of the rant leaking, and RevoLucian followed it with further celebrity remixes, none of which travelled as far as the first.

Memory @archive_dot_org · Archivist 3 Sep 2009

Filed from an office where someone played it through laptop speakers and the room learned the phrase 'are you professional or not' before anyone had heard the original audio.
