    New DJNoNo album – Interval

    Interval is a new album focusing on Intermission and Interlude music such as the Potter’s Wheel and Pages from Ceefax and visual mid-program intervals such as Tony Hart’s Gallery. These breaks in film, TV and radio broadcast were before 24 hour programming often included library or production music and are the precursor of the modern…

  • DJNoNo – Interlude (Crumplstock 11 set)

    DJNoNo – Interlude (Crumplstock 11 set)

    DJNoNo’s interlude Set for Crumplstock 11 for the upcoming Interval Album, the sequel to 2015’s Ballroom which will be released next week. There might be some changes to these tracks before then, so it’s a time capsule of probably the fastest album ever in DJNoNo’s career (all of these tracks plus a few more were…

  • Summertime Leviathan (Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong vs Everything Everything)

    Summertime Leviathan (Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong vs Everything Everything)

    And now a summer track from this years Summer Booty. Summertime is one of my favourite songs, it’s strangely in a minor key for a summer track, a blues for summer…there’s a disquieting feel about it. Even the off-kilter strings that suggest a heat shimmer but also something less sunny. So it pairs really well…

  • Padam Padam Twilight (Kylie Minogue vs ELO)

    Padam Padam Twilight (Kylie Minogue vs ELO)

    Trying to find good mashups of Kylie’s current hit ‘Padam Padam’ was like finding rocking horse shit – turns out it’s in a really odd key, well mode…C Mixolydian b6 which I thought was a Star Trek planet , aka ‘melodic major’ or aeolian dominant – or one of the Hindu Raga scales (that makes…

  • New Partygate ABBA Party At No. 10 video

    New Partygate ABBA Party At No. 10 video

    Now the footage of one of the illegal Partygate parties has finally leaked – now we can have a video for DJNoNo’s political mashup ABBA Party At No. 10.! It’s topical again with all the fallout of Boris Johnson resigning and the dodgy honours list (which honoured several people in the video) …and will probably…

  • Lucretia’s Independence Day (America #4) (Martina McBride vs Sisters of Mercy)

    Lucretia’s Independence Day (America #4) (Martina McBride vs Sisters of Mercy)

    Fourth in the American Trilogy (well it worked for Douglas Adams) I came across Martina McBride’s Independence Day and stopped in my tracks. New country is rarely my thing, but I was struck at how gothic/new wave it was, with it’s messages of domestic violence and independence via arson and death….cheery! I’m sure Goth Country…

  • ABBA Party At Number 10 (Kid Kapichi vs ABBA)

    ABBA Party At Number 10 (Kid Kapichi vs ABBA)

    Given ex-PM’s Boris Johnson’s speech at the Partygate inquest, DJNoNo got so any angry he made this mashup! He didn’t take part with ABBAstard so felt left out. One of the illegal parties at No. 10 during lockdown which PM probably attended breaking his own  COVID regulations was a party, blasting the Swedish foursome at…

  • SOPHIE & Dorian Electra new Hyperpop mashups

    SOPHIE & Dorian Electra new Hyperpop mashups

    And continuing the Hyperpop challenge from DJNoNo’s last post, here are two more from that sad songs vs hyperpop challenge, a little like Unhappy Hardcore or Hardcure – the Foreigner vs Dorian Electra won that challenge! And I am very proud of the Carpenters vs SOPHIE one. WINNER of the Crumplbangers Challenge! And the second…

  • ABBAstard & 4 new ABBA mashups

    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)

    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…
