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…

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…

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…

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…
