I Just Work Here – 2023 Best Of Mashup album
I usually do compilation albums every 2 years, but 2023 was my 20th year of making mashups, and thankfully a good year for mashup from all the aliases and so I thought I’d do a ‘Best of’ the year, 26 of my best tracks. It’s called ‘I Just Work Here – 2023 *etc’. I Just…

Captain Obvious – Dream Big In Babylon (Bob Vylan vs The Ruts)
I was listening to the new Bob Vylan single ‘Dream Big’ and it totally reminded me of Babylon Burning – so much so it’s exactly the same BPM and only 1 semitone difference…LOL. So Captain Obvious had to do a quick mash with some propah jungle bizness, had fun doing a rock vs jungle vs…

Welcome To London, Colin (The Clash vs Flow Dan vs Pet Shop Boys vs 808 State)
WINNER of the 1989 Crumplbangers Discord Challenge! A very apocalyptic love/hate mashup about my manor…London. So had to do something with 808 State as both Quadrastate and 90 (both of which I own, on vinyl and cassette respectively) were released in 1989, and back then I was all over 808 State after Pacific State –…

All By My Vampire (Olivia Rodrigo vs Eric Carmen)
I usually only do mashups where I like least one of sources I like, for very good reason. Mashes like this are why…I have got to the ‘post it or delete it’ stage. I want it out of my sight, for good. Sometimes doing a mashup will sell me on a track, I will grow…

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…

Dystopian Cyberpunk – Boards of Canada vs Animals & EBTG vs Buunshin
Adriana A of Bootie had a set at a Cyberpunk festival (Neotropolis) and challenged everyone to make cyberpunk mashups…Now mine were way too slow and moody to get on the mixtape (I think you had to have a name starting with A to get on it :-P), but I think the post-apocalyptic combination of Boards of…

The Only Safety Dance I Know (Men Without Hats vs Charlatans)
“If your friends don’t dance, then leave those friends behind…” They say ‘anger is an energy’ and ‘the best revenge is success’ so I took that anger (seriously was the 8th of May International Drama Day or something?!) and finished this mashup for the current Crumplbangers Challenge which is totally CanCon – and I didn’t…

Don’t Start Plastic Love (Dua Lipa vs New Order vs Donna Summer)
I did this Dua Lipa vs New Order and Donna Summer mashup for the Crumplbangers Challenge – it didn’t even get a honorary mention, tumblweed as usual 🙁 The challenge was Indie vs Mainstream and New Order are definitely classically indie (Factory band; this was released on Mute); but I suspect Plastic isn’t the sort…

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.…
