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)
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…

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)
Houdini Is Everywhere! No it literally IS Everywhere đ 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
This is Inspired by Minor Arth’s recent mashup ‘Something To Do In Autodrive‘Â (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)
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)
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)
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)
“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…
