The 96th show for Noisebox, and to date, the last – I was hoping to take two months off and come back refreshed with more mixes in September, but pesky real life has got in the way a bit since then. So if you’ve landed on my blog from somewhere else, this will be the first mix you come across, it’s not at all representative of the rest of my Noisebox shows, it’s in two halves, and I hope you like (a) really old mashups and (b) jungle.
The first hour of the mix included some of my favourite mashups from the last twenty years, although I’ve been out of the scene for so long that most of them are at least ten years old. Most of them came from the now defunct Get Your Bootleg On forum (my online home for a few years from 2003), a few of them are mine, and one of them was a proper top three hit.
- When Will I Be Cubik? (Bros vs 808 State) – 10000 Spoons
- Marshall’s Been Snookered (Eminem vs Winifred Atwell) – Freelance Hairdresser (Soundhog)
- Beat It, Trooper! (Iron Maiden vs Michael Jackson) – Nightmare Lyre
- Safe LDN Home (Lily Allen vs The Clash) – Mash City Rockers (10000 Spoons)
- Call Me A Hole (Carly Rae Jepsen vs Nine Inch Nails) – pomDeter
- Command Your Rabbits (Chas & Dave vs Buckfunk 3000) – cry.on.my.console
- Come Back And Say It Right (Nelly Furtado vs Paul Young) – AudioShrapnel
- Doctor Pressure (Miami Sound Machine vs Mylo) – Phil ‘n’ Dog
- Let It Be Me (The Beatles vs Shaggy) – Soundwasta (Bavor)
- Toxic Madness (Britney Spears vs Madness) – 10000 Spoons
- Bootystition (Stevie Wonder vs Destiny’s Child) – sm@sh
- Dancing Like Blood (Killing Joke vs Bee Gees) – Go Home Productions
- Can You Feel Magick? (The Klaxons vs Philippe B vs Todd Terry) – Dunproofin
- Chariots Killed The Radio Star (The Buggles vs Vangelis) – 10000 Spoons
And now that’s out of the way, the second half of the mix features some jungle mashups I made primarily for the Crumplstock festival in June. They were so new at the time of broadcast that none of them had a title.
- (Intro – Origin Unknown – Valley Of The Shadows)
- 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse – Drowning In Her + A-ha – The Sun Always Shines On TV
- Foul Play – Finest Illusion (Legal mix) + SOS Band – The Finest
- Krome & Time – The Slammer + Nelly – Country Grammar
- Hyper-On Experience – Lords of the Null Lines (Foul Play Remix) + Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
- Engineers Without Fears (DJ Rap & Aston) – Spiritual Aura + Lotus Eaters – The First Picture Of You
- Roni Size – It’s A Jazz Thing + Massive Attack/Elizabeth Fraser – Teardrop
- Omni Trio – Renegade Snares (Foul Play VIP mix) + Amerie – One Thing
- DJ Crystl – Warp Drive + Opus III – It’s A Fine Day
- DJ Zinc/Ganja Kru – Super Sharp Shooter + Beastie Boys – Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun
- Adam F – Circles + George Michael – Careless Whisper
- A Guy Called Gerald – Mellow Madness + Watch The Ride x Nia Archives – Mash Up The Dance
I mentioned the Crumplstock festival earlier, and for the completists, here’s the live set I broadcast on Twitch for it via Virtual DJ. There’s a few tracks I didn’t include in the above show, as follows:
- Renegade – Terrorist + Hon Denley – The Soys Of Bummer*
- Skanna – Heaven + The Beatles – A Day In The Life
- DJ Flash – Pulp Fiction + Plastic Bertrand – Ça Plane Pour Moi + The Pharcyde – Passin’ Me By
*name changed because this artist hates mashups and is very litigious
Finally, I gave four of the above mashups a proper release on remix.audio so you can download if you like:
