    I Just Work Here – 2023 Best Of Mashup album

    I usually do compilation albums every 2 years, but 2023 was my 20th year of making mashups, and thankfully a good year for mashup from all the aliases and so I thought I’d do a ‘Best of’ the year, 26 of my best tracks. It’s called ‘I Just Work Here – 2023 *etc’. I Just…

  • 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 – 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…

  • ArABBAian Disco (ABBA vs Ihsan Al-Munzer)

    ArABBAian Disco (ABBA vs Ihsan Al-Munzer)

    This is for the current Crumplbangers challenge that ToTom has set for using unmashed or undermashed artists. So ToTom you want deep digging? Well what about middle eastern funk/disco with ABBA? (yes don’t forget international/non-English speaking artists are very much unmashed too). I am big fan of 70’s and 80’s middle eastern music especially if…

  • Bad Holiday Goes On And On (Ed Sheeran vs Madonna vs The Whispers)

    Bad Holiday Goes On And On (Ed Sheeran vs Madonna vs The Whispers)

    As premiered (accidentally) on Bootie Mashup Listening stream because Adriana thought it was a festive holidays mash…it sort of is, sort of isn’t, it started as a festive mash and became an entry for the Disco Challenge. I’ve tightened it up since, so this is a new version as I wanted it to be perfect.…

  • Emotional Mashup 2: Elliott Smith & Heatmiser

    Emotional Mashup 2: Elliott Smith & Heatmiser

    I am a mahoosive fan of Elliott Smith and his former band Heatmiser and weirdly until this year I have never mashed or remixed his work. His chords and keys are quite complex, although as I found if you go back to what he cribbed (the Beatles mainly) you can sidestep that. Also until the…

  • Ground Shelter (Hope & Fear) – two topical mashups (Rolling Stones vs Stereo MCs vs Fun Boy 3 vs Dubstep)

    Ground Shelter (Hope & Fear) – two topical mashups (Rolling Stones vs Stereo MCs vs Fun Boy 3 vs Dubstep)

    (after Shepard Fairey) 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…

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

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

    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…

  • Every Hitchhiker needs his towel (H2G2 theme vs Christina Aguilera

    Every Hitchhiker needs his towel (H2G2 theme vs Christina Aguilera

    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…

  • No I’m not dead + Strummer

    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’…
