Captain Obvious – Only 80s Ghosts Again (Yazoo vs Depeche Mode)
Ahh the ‘OOK* 80’s Bootlegs’ that Sowndhaus is apparently famous for! Everyone is making Ghosts Again mashups, so thought I’d have a go. Yes this is so obvious it’s Captain Obvious, but I’ve never made a Yazoo mashup so neh. And it’s an era mashup, indie 80’s versus modern 80’s corporate-ish pop (DM are on…

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…

It’s nearly Christmas so here’s your present (or booby prize? It’s that time of year, The Biannual Mashup Report! – I am releasing the last 2 years or so of mashups and plunderphonic experiments from Instamatic, Captain Obvious, DJNoNo & tbc on Bandcamp that aren’t on Black Block or the newly updated Xmas album….I did…

Last Christmas Heroes – Wham vs Bowie
And finally this gets released – my other Xmas track -the Taylor Swift one got chosen for Bootie Xmas but I think this one is a classic festive sadbanger (well it’s euphoric as well, oddly) This was one of the other tracks under consideration for the Bootie Christmas 7 compilation….but I think it’s the best…

3 New Taylor Swift Midnights Mashups
Really digging Midnights, the new-ish album by Taylor Swift atm and obsessed by the songs Anti-Hero, You’re On Your Own, Kid, and Snow On The Beach. I’m only on track 11 cos I keep stopping to make mashups of the album. Even DJNoNo got in on the act! At this rate I’ll have an album….…

Disco Mashups – Gossip vs Gloria Gaynor & Lady Gaga vs Chic & Dua Lipa
Since Sowndhaus has gone done a few times recently including last night, it’s reminded me of the massive backlog of tunes I never posted here – mostly challenge tunes, but all good pieces including these two queer disco mashups for Crumplbangers Discord challenge. I think have got better and better in the last year or…

Pride Mashups: Relax And Take The Easy Cure (Aurora vs MIKA) & Lizzo vs Patrick Cowley & Sylvester
As it’s Pride month (well in the States/the Stonewall anniversary, our Pride is the start of July in London, Brighton is in August.) so here’s two new mashups/ First is a mashup and video of not one but TWO queer artists – MIKA and Aurora . Her song ‘Cure for Me’ is about conversion therapy,…

Captain Obvious – Peaches To Die For (Sam Smith vs Justin Bieber)
This was made back in May for another project but never finished, so I tidied it up for the newly resurrected Captain Obvious. I didn’t release it then cos I hate the Biebster but like the instrumental of ‘Peaches’ and love the Sam Smith song, so another dark uptempo happy/sad bittersweet groover with cheesy pop…

Captain Obvious – Adele Sevenfold (Dear Adele) (Adele vs Avenged Sevenfold)
Return of the Cap’n! An obvious mash of country diva metal – of Easy on Me vs Avenged Sevenfold’s Dear God. That Easy on Me track works really well with country tunes. I had more fun doing the artwork tbh. OBVIOUS! One for the Tiktoks methinks…not that I’ll post there, I won’t past the age…

Sunderwall (Lil Oasis X) – Lil Nas X vs Oasis
This almost became a Captain Obvious track, because to me, the new one from Lil Nas X – Sun Goes Down is basically Wonderwall by Oasis? It was either this or the Verve’s Lucky Man, there’s a real Britpop vibe with this song about struggling as a queer teen in the closet – I can…
