• Driving A Fast Car Home For Christmas (Tracy Chapman vs Chris Rea)

    Driving A Fast Car Home For Christmas (Tracy Chapman vs Chris Rea)

    I wasn’t planning to make a Xmash mash this year – but this combo fell in my lap, and as far as I know, it’s not been done? It almost became a Captain Obvious track because of that – also the moving (and really sad) Fast Car is having a moment via Luke Combs’ cover,…

  • Raspberry Fox (Prince vs The Sweet)

    Raspberry Fox (Prince vs The Sweet)

    As featured on 72.6! I worked the last part of my segment full mashup as I thought it was particularly good as ‘Raspberry Fox’ – Prince & The Revolution’s Raspberry Beret vs The Sweet’s Fox on the Run. Very proud of that segment and this mashup, I think it rocks like a fox in cardboard…

  • Peaches On A Cross (Peaches vs Ghost)

    Peaches On A Cross (Peaches vs Ghost)

    Another challenge track, this one for Dunproofin’s Crumplbangers Discord Download festival challenge – apparently Peaches played in 2003 and Ghost 20 years later, which bookends both my musical tastes in those 20 years. Also my first released mashup was Peaches in 2003, so it all comes full circle. This has the timing hopefully fixed at…

  • Captain Obvious – Close (To The Highway) (Rascal Flatts vs Art of Noise)

    Captain Obvious – Close (To The Highway) (Rascal Flatts vs Art of Noise)

    Another Captain Obvious (old) banger, this time created for a Car themed Crumplbangers Discord challenge….and when I think cars, I think Art Of Noise’s Close (To The Edit) which famously sampled a neighbour’s VW Golf. Also the first time I’ve mashed a modern Disney track – Life is a Highway – this one is from…

  • Captain Obvious – Houdini Everywhere (Dua Lipa vs Fleetwood Mac)

    Captain Obvious – Houdini Everywhere (Dua Lipa vs Fleetwood Mac)

    Houdini Is Everywhere! No it literally IS Everywhere 😉 Dua Lipa’s Houdini is very 80’s influenced, she talked about her ‘psych direction’ and when I first heard it I thought…Fleetwood Mac – and of course brought some psych magic via the Psychmagik Edit, my favourite of Everywhere. Two versions, an earlier slightly longer version, and…

  • Depeche Mode vs Kavinsky – A Speedy Out Run 80’s Mash

    Depeche Mode vs Kavinsky – A Speedy Out Run 80’s Mash

    This is Inspired by Minor Arth’s recent mashup ‘Something To Do In Autodrive‘ (this has their blessing, I asked if I could release this even though it’s not a reboot). I could hear Behind The Wheel working with one of Kavinsky’s tracks, actually at first I tried various Out Run game soundtracks with Depeche Mode for…

  • Bitch Queen Roar (Katy Perry vs Meredith Brooks vs Taylor Swift vs ABBA)

    Bitch Queen Roar (Katy Perry vs Meredith Brooks vs Taylor Swift vs ABBA)

    Meredith Brook’s Bitch has become a bit of an anthem for me recently, and so I had to mash it up – and it works really well with ABBA’s Dancing Queen for maximum camp/diva dancefloor shenanigans – but then I found that someone has done a terrible rave.dj mash with it, so I kept adding…

  • Captain Obvious – Dream Big In Babylon (Bob Vylan vs The Ruts)

    Captain Obvious – Dream Big In Babylon (Bob Vylan vs The Ruts)

    I was listening to the new Bob Vylan single ‘Dream Big’ and it totally reminded me of Babylon Burning – so much so it’s exactly the same BPM and only 1 semitone difference…LOL. So Captain Obvious had to do a quick mash with some propah jungle bizness, had fun doing a rock vs jungle vs…

  • Welcome To London, Colin (The Clash vs Flow Dan vs Pet Shop Boys vs 808 State)

    Welcome To London, Colin (The Clash vs Flow Dan vs Pet Shop Boys vs 808 State)

    WINNER of the 1989 Crumplbangers Discord Challenge! A very apocalyptic love/hate mashup about my manor…London. So had to do something with 808 State as both Quadrastate and 90 (both of which I own, on vinyl and cassette respectively) were released in 1989, and back then I was all over 808 State after Pacific State –…

  • It Doesn’t Break My Soul (Feeling Good) (Siouxsie vs BeyoncĂ© vs Muse)

    It Doesn’t Break My Soul (Feeling Good) (Siouxsie vs BeyoncĂ© vs Muse)

    “I’m telling everybody, that I’m feeling good” Seems like a few people are going through hard times atm, this one goes out to them.So here is a very personal take on resilience and surviving hard times. It takes Siouxsie’s ‘If It Doesn’t Kill You’ which I recently reheard in an Adriana A mashup (one I…
