Instamatic - White Witch Dub

May 23rd, 2008

White Witch Dub

Yes it’s like buses, you wait for bootlegs for ages then several come at once ;-)

Ever wondered what Fleetwood Mac would sound dubstep style? Well click below to find out!

White Witch Dub (Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon vs Skream - Dub Period - apols to both!)

First heard in it’s original form on Skip to the End, this is quite a different sort of boot from me - dubby, moody and atmospheric; and about a mythological Welsh (Dub) Queen…with a lot of dubby production from yours truly, with some help from that Skream bloke :-D

Neon Sex People (Neon Neon vs Depeche Mode and Latour)

May 11th, 2008

Neon Sex people cover

OK this was premiered at CMP 9 - I think this is fairly obvious and hope no-one has already done it, I finished it several weeks ago and have been scared since then someone would do it as well!

Basically the new Neon Neon (Gryff from Super Furry Animals and Boom Bip) is ace, but the track ‘I Lust U’ is more than slightly influenced by a certain Depeche Mode track, so I’ve mashed People are People and I Lust U together, with occasional interventions from Latour’s People Are Still Having Sex.

I think it’s brill and one of my best, but then I would would’nt I?

Every Hitchhiker needs his towel

March 15th, 2008

I did this one ages ago (in 2005) played it on the podcast as an exclusive (show 42 of course!) then never released it. Partly because it was an overused pella, and partly because I wasn’t happy releasing stuff at the time.

Fast forward to a few days ago, played it to a friend that went ‘wow’ and told me to release it…maybe everyone has gotten over the Dirrty Xtina overload 3 years later? Anyway listening back it’s actually very good!

No I’m not dead + Strummer

I’m not dead just been busy doing the podcast (it now has a baby also) and very few mashups…well loads of mashups and long mixes, but the mashups never get finished LOL.

Until now, well Xmas - I created two new Instamatic tracks for the mashup compilation I put together called ‘This One’s for Joe’ in honour of Joe Strummer who died 5 years ago on December 22nd. Hope you enjoy them!

And please check out the other tracks, there are some real gems there, and the artwork I did all of that also.

Instamatic - Willesden Blue (The Orb vs Mescaleros vs Bonzo Dog Band)

More new mashups!

March 8th, 2007

Oriignally only posted over at Multiplty, but since they’ve gone a bit crap I’ll post here too.

  • Crazy Marvin - Gnarls Barkley ‘Crazy’ vs Marvin Gaye’s ‘I heard it through the Grapevine’ - Cee Lo really is divining the spirit of Marvin in his singing style
  • Juicy Clare - B52’s ‘Planet Clare’ vs Juicebox by The Strokes, making it rockier with *that* bassline.

New Mashups!

December 5th, 2006

New mashups and a new host site - remember http://mutantpop.multiply.com/music/ although I’ll post here whenever I post something big up, it’ll be good to check that too.

Currently there are a few of the boots I played at Bootie in San Francisco:

  • Push it Slut (French Avenue 2006) - An older boot from 2004 given a sparkly new treatment and basically redone from the ground up, adding Kraftwerk’s Tour de France to the existing mix of Avenue D’s ‘Do you Think I’m a Slut?’ and Salt n’ Pepa’s classic ‘Push It’
  • Alison She’s So Horsey - sort of floating around for a while, this is an excercise in taking the piss out of Ms Alison’s ‘Ride a White Horse’ which like a lot of Goldfrapp wears it’s influences not only on it’s sleeve but pretty much has stolen the whole wardrobe! So I mixed it with Laidback ‘White Horse’ and a spoof of that called Disco Horse
  • Ghetto Tits 2006 - another remake and a companion to Push it Slut, this is Benassi’s remix of Outkast’s Ghetto Musick mixed with various Peaches tracks, with added Scissor Sisters ‘Tits on the Radio’ and Salt n Pepa and a touch of Kraftwerk again for good measure. That’s if your measure is slightly tilting and vibrating from the bass, that is.
  • LFO Can’t Turn Around - a bit of a cheat this one, it’s been released in the R-House mix before but never seperately, this mixes LFO ‘LFO’ with Farley Jackmaster Funk’s house classic ‘Love Can’t Turn Around’ and I’m rather fond of it.

Download them all here or at myMultiply although as they are insisting on registration I’m going to be posting here more often!

Instamatic’s Greatest Misses - a retrospective

February 18th, 2006

A lot of my old boots/mashups haven’t been online for years - most people don’t know I’ve created something like 50+ mashups as Instamatic since 2003, more as DJNoNo and as tbc and various aliases…there have been quite a few mashups ‘retrospectives’ recently, and the odd request to find various tracks so here is my Greatest Misses…tracks that fell down the cracks!

Also a few tracks such as the Jump megamix (Jump x2 and Renegade Trouble) and the Too Many Egos haven’t been properly released before.

Also includes my first released mashup - FSOL vs Peaches, so you can see how far little I’ve developed…I did think ’shall I redo some of these?’ or fix some of the mistakes I can hear now - I thought not since I hate that when say bands re-release ‘tweaked’ or ‘improved’ versions of old songs. Publish and be damned!

Thanks to RevMenagerie who requested my Negativland / String Quartet mashup…

NOTE: Some of these tunes are severely NSFW - especially FCUKK Fashion…

  1. The Future Sound of Peaches (FSOL vs Peaches)
  2. Missy Wants A White Horse (Missy vs Laidback and jacky - one of my personal faves)
  3. Fragile Tomorrow (Kings of Tomorrow vs Cleo)
  4. FCUKK Fashion (Prodigy vs Bowie and DJ Yoeri) (as Instore - with the Kate Moss situation strangely topical now!)
  5. Kylie’s Ass is a Spaceship (Kylie vs SFA vs NERD)
  6. Still haven’t Found It (Negativland live vs String Quartet)
  7. Blancmange Milkshake (Kelis vs Blancmange)
  8. Satan Bush Blair (Bootie edit - original featured over at Bushwhacked)
  9. Ludakriss (Kid Carpet intro) - (here’s the original with the Kid Carpet ‘Jump’ intro)
  10. Altogether Let it Be Me (An excercise in combining songs inspired by Pachelbel’s Canon - Nancy Sinatra vs The Farm)
  11. Radio 4Play (Shannon vs Radio4) - I got kind of obsessed by Shannon’s ‘Let the Music Play’, and then Kelis’s Milkshake…shows huh?
  12. My Muppet Band (Tokyo Ska Orchestra vs D12 - originally over at Strangely Familiar website)
  13. Infidel Milkshake Party (Wyclef & Missy vs Kelis)
  14. Work it Tiger (Le Tigre vs Masters at Work)
  15. Egyptian Jet (Bangles vs Jet -a month later a mix of this appeared on 7″ - dunno if it was mine?)
  16. Shannon’s Knuckles (Shannon vs Rankie Knuckles)
  17. Madison Heartbreak (Maisonettes vs Madison Avenue)
  18. Brightside Slippy (never totally finished since I was afflicted by a sudden inexplicable hatred of the Killers)
  19. Fire (Bootie edit of a minimix - DJ Zebra mixed into Fire mix (Grandmaster Scott vs Radio4 vs Electric6 vs Trammps)
  20. Jump minimix - Ludakriss / Jumpx2/ Renegade Trouble - first time online! (Made for Uprising 3.5, also played in part at Bastard -
    Kid Carpet / Ludacris vs Kriss Kross / House of Pain vs Kriss Kross / Wildchild vs Beasties)

and from the DJNoNo canon, a few rarities:

  1. I Love Happy Hardcore (Fuck Happy) - first DJNoNo boot, done for a Happy Hardcore competition where mrNo shows how much he likes Happy Hardcore…
  2. Too Many Egos - full version (various based on the odd acapella version of EgoRocker and a pisstake of several Ego-Rocker boots - a short 70s version that eventually appeared on Marty Batfreak’s 100 mix)
  3. Em is a Naggin Fly (Crossover vs Eminem vs Roy Orbison - pisstake of Eminem boots and mrNo trying to prove Bush No.10 wrong when he said Eminem boots now didn’t work. Did thaNo succeed? Erm, pass…)

Madonna’s Hung Up (aka Let’s Hang Madonna)

November 13th, 2005

Yes I know we’re all probably totally SICK of that Madonna single, so I did this little mashup as revenge, adding in JuniorVasquez’s cheeky ‘If Madonna Calls’ as a response to her song.

Kind of works…everyone’s schizo about that blasted Madonna song tho, even on the dancefloor!

Burn Your Radio (Leftfield vs Queen and Public Enemy) - new mashup!

November 13th, 2005

I wasn’t dead, only sleeping :wink: Just wanted to come back with something good and I think this might do the trick…

I played this at Bastard to end my recent set, seemed to get a good response so I thought I would release it into the wild - this is the mastered and slightly tweaked version. Also think it might have been played at Bootie (?). Definitely one for the dancefloor - it was inspired by podcasting, and especially the Radio Clash podcast I do.

Includes Queen - “Radio GaGa”, Leftfield “Open Up” and Public Enemy “Burn Hollywood Burn”

Peaches n’ Orbs (Roy Orbison vs Peaches)

May 11th, 2005

OK so I might not be an Outkast obsessive but I am a Peaches fanatic and have used her in at least 4 mashups before now - but none as weird as this. It came to me where I was working at the time there was a 60’s golden oldie station and Roy Orbison’s ‘You Got It’ came on…and it shows you my warped mind that my first response was ‘that’s the same beat as Peaches’ ‘Set it Off’….so Peaches n’ Orbs was born.

It was played (badly by me) at Bastard in February 2004, it went down well despite my nervously bad DJing…I have become slightly better at it since then. :-D
