DJNoNo’s frankly quite worrying love affair with Aphrodite (not as dodgy as his obsession with Julie Andrews, the stalking court hearing is in a few weeks) continues with this ode to the Asylum ‘Those Were the Drums’ mashing Mary Hopkin’s 1968 classic ‘Those Were the Days’ with ‘London Massive’ by Aphrodite – and craftily sneaking in some Osymyso talking about Bastard at the Asylum for Swiss TV all those years ago…
In 2010 I’m planning to release the backlog of mashups that got to the sort-of-finished stage and I left due to apathy re: making the covers, mastering (how I HATE mastering – the 7″ version of this took 3 tries!) etc.
So here’s the first, a mashup idea that unusually came from someone else – namely Jeb 50PoundNote who asked why isn’t there a Nasty Girls vs Chewing Gum mashup in existence? A very good question indeed, and here’s the answer:
This comes in two flavours, the ‘7″ Juicy Fruit’ mix and the ‘12″ Bubblicious Genius mix’ – not edits actually totally different mashups, second one I did first as I didn’t have the Chewing Gum instrumental (it’s on the flip side of the 7″) so I used the Headman Dub and Mix, but then Gavin Reborn Identity kindly provided it to me so hence the other version. The DJ version is of course faster, about 126bpm if memory serves, and as Chewing Gum is seriously influenced by Tom Tom Club’s Genius of Love I added a bit of my favourite intro to that song and little bits scattered throughout.
Big thanks to Jeb, Gav and Thomas who apparently couldn’t stop dancing along (that is praise indeed )
Nasty Chewing Girls(7″ Juicy Fruit mix – Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girls’ vs Annie ‘Chewing Gum’)
Nasty Chewing Girls(12″ Bubblicious Genius mix – Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girls’ (That’ll Work remix) vs Annie ‘Chewing Gum’ (Headman Dub & mix) & Tom Tom Club – Genius of Love (extended))
UPDATE: Annie Strand herself (if it is her official account) tweeted about this mash! Woohoo! Thanks Glad you like it.
As part of my Fleetwood Mac mashup album ‘Fleetwood Mix‘ I’ve got a new track out called ‘Go Your Own Steinway‘ which is Eric Prydz ‘Pjanoo’ (Fred Falke mix) vs Go Your Own Way.
Don’t forget to also check out the great Fleetwood Mac mashups and mixes from DJ BC (current Bootie Top 10 Exclusive!), Celebrity Murder Party, LeeDM101, DJ FOX, RIAA and 10000 Spoons.
Yo! Yo! Yo! Ere iz mah new mashup, a funkee lil gully numbah which is reet clart, m8. I took mah home-boy Hugo Montenegro (in da hizzle!) n’ mixed im wiv Aphrodite, drum & bass GOD(ess?) and a little known grime GANGSTAH! groop called The Osmonds? Nevah heard of ‘em but dey are super-smart funky m8, gr8 bassline. Not so shure aboot dose haircutz an flares, but who knose. Oh an’ it reminded meh of dem liverpoolian scouse gits the Beatles so I dropped in somefink direct from the street, totally bangin’ m8, the Swingle Singers doing Daytripper. PROPAH JOKES!
Just a quick one which I held back from playing in Saarbruecken, but it being Pride Month it seemed appropriate to release it, it being The Gossip’s expression of defiance about gay marriage and rights ‘Standing in the Way of Control’ vs The White Stripes ‘Seven Nation Army’ remixed in naughty bootleg form by Tim Deluxe. Oh and a little of Jack White berating hipsters not listening to the Greenhorns at a live show, on cue and amazingly perfectly in time with the music, preacher style. I was going for a very much club/DJ production on this, quite proud of how it sounds, and the little cutups and loops of the vocals. Would sound great from a Pride float *nudge nudge*
Special thanks to Ian Fondue on this one, because him dragging me to Kaleidoscope and hearing the bassline of 7 Nation Army on their fairly dodge PA inspired this bootleg.
Some1 slipped me sum Rohynolz n’ bundled me in da boot (car, not bootlegz) n’ next fing I knew I woz in Germanyland, in Sourbroken or somefink. N’ forced at sausage-point 2 do a set, n’ ting for Innernational Mashy Bashy, sausage & mash? Aye dunno, maybe twas dose funny robots 4 Mash get Smash?

As part of my run up to DJing in Saarbruecken, Germany next weekend (I’m on at 1am Saturday – well it’ll be Sunday by then – 16th May, Room 1 at the 6nul3 club, just before Pilchard and the Who Boys! You can see the flyer here) I’ve been producing quite a few mashups and getting back into the swing of things, along with doing some mashups for the 72 project (Timbearland and Instamatic are me .
Here’s one I may not play in Saarbruecken – it doesn’t currently fit in my set, but if the response is good I might play it It’s a A vs B of the Ting Ting’s Great DJ (7th Heaven Mix) which sounded a bit empty to me so I make it more squelchy, harder, more uptempo and nu-breaksy by adding Shut Up And Dance’s ‘Make the Needle Jump’ from their last excellent album ‘The Great British Public’. I hope you enjoy, and maybe will see some of you in Saarbruecken? Certainly I have several new tracks, an audio-visual extravaganza and a cracking set.
Oh and to those few who might have heard this before, this is the Mastered version, LOL.
OK I’ve been working on this mashup of Stereo MC’s vs Rolling Stones vs Benga vs Fun Boy 3 for a while – kind of a State of the Nation address in a mashup as regards how I felt in the run up to the US election, Georgia v. Russia, Iran and Iraq, Military Industrial Complex and various things…but history in the fact of Obama being elected president overtook me, so the paranoid worried bootleg seemed a bit at odds with the times.
So I’ve created two – one called (Fear) the full-length extended version with the Chris Rock intro, and a short radio version called (Hope) using Barack Obama’s recent speech in Chicago after he won the presidency – really they are different mashups, with a common basis.
Ground Shelter (Hope) - Stereo MC’s ‘Ground Level’ vs Rolling Stones ‘Gimme Shelter’ vs Benga ‘Lightbulb’
Ground Shelter (Fear)- Stereo MC’s ‘Ground Level’ vs Rolling Stones ‘Gimme Shelter’ vs Benga ‘Lightbulb’ vs Fun Boy 3 – ‘Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum’
Apologies to Shepard Fairey for abusing his wonderful artwork; and love goes out to Ian Fondue who gave me some tips on an earlier version – hope it works Ian!
Previously part of the ‘We All Kissed a Girl’ compilation, as an exclusive I thought I’d release this separately for those of you who one KP mash is possibly too many…basically I made Katy Perry angry and kiss L7 who are all about being a monster, grrr…with a few interjections from those Lesbians on Ecstasy.
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?
