Summertime Leviathan (Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong vs Everything Everything)
And now a summer track from this years Summer Booty. Summertime is one of my favourite songs, it’s strangely in a minor key for a summer track, a blues for summer…there’s a disquieting feel about it. Even the off-kilter strings that suggest a heat shimmer but also something less sunny. So it pairs really well…

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…

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…

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…

Raiders of the Lost Mashup 2: Blue Robot Love (Robyn and Royksopp vs Candi Staton vs New Order)
The second in this series is a history of many versions dating back to when Röyksopp ft Robyn’s ‘Girl and the Robot’ was current in 2009, mashing it with Blue Monday by New Order and Candi Staton’s You Got The Love…the problem sometimes is you do a mashup and it almost works but something about…

I Kissed a Monster – Katy Perry vs L7
Previously part of the ‘We All Kissed a Girl’ compilation, as an exclusive I thought I’d release this separately for those of you who one KP mash is possibly too many…basically I made Katy Perry angry and kiss L7 who are all about being a monster, grrr…with a few interjections from those Lesbians on Ecstasy.…
