ABBAstard & 4 new ABBA mashups
There aren’t enough ABBA mashups – despite the Bootie Mashup compilation from a few years ago and myself trying to plug that gap single–handedly! Rectifying this, a bunch of us corralled by iWillBattle have got together and created the ABBAstard album – 25 tracks from the likes of myself, Will, TheRandomSapphire, oki, DJ J-Brew, fnogg,…

Rainy Lovesong (Eurythmics vs The Cure)
Who knew Annie Lennox was a goth? I was never a massive Cure fan, but I was a big Eurythmics fan as a kid, and I think the darkness and goth side to their music is a bit lost in the shiny electro stylings, but it’s more evident in their earlier tracks like this one…

While My Flowers Gently Weep (Miley Cyrus vs The Beatles)
“We were right ’til we weren’tBuilt a home and watched it burn” Miley Cyrus – Flowers Sometimes a lyric hits me like a proverbial truck, last year it was “I’m the problem it’s me’, this year it’s this song…loving all the disco mashups of Flowers, but think it deserves the slow moody treatment, one like…

Bitter Styles Symphony (Harry Styles vs The Verve)
As It Was by Harry Styles has always bugged me – it’s a-Ha type synths hide a very dark track, and it feels like it’s really double the speed it should be. Also it seems quite indie and alternative with mention of pills and isolation. ‘Cause it’s a bitter sweet symphony, that’s life (you know…

Don’t Start Plastic Love (Dua Lipa vs New Order vs Donna Summer)
I did this Dua Lipa vs New Order and Donna Summer mashup for the Crumplbangers Challenge – it didn’t even get a honorary mention, tumblweed as usual 🙁 The challenge was Indie vs Mainstream and New Order are definitely classically indie (Factory band; this was released on Mute); but I suspect Plastic isn’t the sort…

Rich White Straight Men’s Money (Kesha vs Pink Floyd vs ABBA)
OK for some reason I decided to do the latest Crumplbanger Challenge set by Titus Jones on Hard Mode, cos I forgot that Pink Floyd’s Money is in 7/4. Probably the only 7/4 track in this challenge….and also only my second Kesha mashup ever (WAAAAY back in the day I did one where she guested…

I Wouldn’t Run Up That Hill (Kate Bush vs Alan Parsons Project)
Groovy Prog Funk Robot Disco Kate Bush anyone? I am going to get a reputation for all these prog boots, I am actually a punk at heart but I love Alan Parson Project’s I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You – a sort of angry rock disco jam that’s so funky. Check those ride cymbals!…

Nature’s Panopticom (Nat King Cole vs Peter Gabriel)
New mashup using the newly dropped track by Peter Gabriel vs Nat King Cole – I am not intentionally copying DSP Mashups but this is at least the 2nd or 3rd mash I’ve heard them use a source and then be inspired to have a go myself! Their mashups and source choices are so inspiring!…

Unholy Cosmic Boys In The Oud (Sam Smith ft Kim Petras vs Boys from the Oud)
A bit of a different one this – an Arabic banger mix of arabic/French dub techno / cosmic electronica and Unholy by Sam Smith & Kim Petras). Boys in the Oud are related to Acid Arab, being on one of their compilations and are a collaboration between Turzi, Judah Warsky, Dj Gilb’R & Adnan Mohamed.…

Dorothea from Hackensack (Taylor Swift vs Fountains of Wayne)
Over 2 years ago Adam Schlesinger died, and I was gutted since Fountains of Wayne were a bit part of my post-Britpop comedown listening (less Stacey’s Mom, more Radiation Vibe). And their best song was never a single, it was a later album track called Hackensack – even Katy Perry covered it! So I was…
