Best of 2021-2022 Bandcamp Albums from Instamatic, Captain Obvious, DJNoNo & tbc
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…

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…

Sébastien Tellier Double Bill
Another lost track, this time I didn’t want to seem like I was trying to crash in on the death of Fletch (Andy Fletcher) of Depeche Mode. I remade this 2008 mashup by DJ Giac for the podcast then forgot to post it…it’s been 6 months, I think enough time has passed. `La Ritournelle is…

Mama Cass vs Fleetwood Mac – Don’t Stop Making Your Kind Of Music
Given the sad death of Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, I thought I’d post this old mashup here, with a positive message – yes don’t stop making your kind of music! An unusual thing – a mashup that isn’t related to a challenge! A friend told me the title (in not exact words) because I…

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….…

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…

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…

Easy On Me Man Child (Adele vs Kate Bush)
This is one of the many ‘lost’ challenge tracks I either didn’t post at all, or posted over at Sowndhaus and didn’t post here. Not sure why, I know at the time the vocal sounded slightly off to me, then again Adele is all E M O T I O N A L in this…

Emotional mashups 1: Rainy Days and Hexagons
Trying something rather emotional MoodyMash with a rainy day breakup theme for the Crumplbanger Discord Film Music challenge. More experimental downtempo and layered than my usual stuff, trying to push the tbc/downtempo stuff into interplay and more variety of sources – I mean Aphex, Burial, Scott Walker, Magnetic Fields AND Nina Simone? With MY reputation?…

Whitesnake vs H.E.R. / Joji vs P!NK revolutionary mashups
I am getting more and more political in my old age with current events. Here are two revolutionary mashups – well they might not be musically revolutionary but they have a revolutionary message. H.E.R. goes all Whitesnake and Joji’s sadbanger goes all P!NK. Created for last week’s Hair Metal Challenge on the Crumplbangers Discord, a…
