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…

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!…

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.…

Happy Fake Plastic New Year (ABBA vs Radiohead)
EDIT: New video as well! – the YouTube got blocked cos weirdly ABBA are OK with mashup/fan videos but Radiohead is not? Not for Fake Plastic Trees, anyhoos. And I thought I did enough intercutting…sigh. So currently in Dispute Hell, not a good start to the year. So here’s the Vimeo. HAPPY NEW YEAR! And…

Bush of Ghosts (A Deal With The Devil) (Kate Bush vs Ghost)
There aren’t enough Ghost mashups – there are a few – I made at least one, and I know Mashup Whisperer Titus Jones has one as well, but they are definitely undermashed. So what about probably the most overmashed song of 2022 (Running Up That Hill) with another 2022 song one I’ve never heard mashed…

Separate Ways To The Garden (Journey vs Michael Nyman)
I wasn’t planning to make this sort of mashup with Journey’s Separate Ways – but I tried it and it worked. Michael Nyman is an important figure in my early music listening, I was obsessed with Peter Greenaway’s films as an art student, watched them all including his early films. Big part of that was…

Voulez Vous La Machine – ABBA vs Pink Floyd
You never knew Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid had a progressive rock side did you? Here they team up in a large plexiglass pyramid with the `Floyd and Welcome you to the Master Scene, the Voulez Vous Machine, sil vous plait. (My pre-GCSE French is failing at this point monsewer) And there’s something deliciously…
