Dawn Penn/Lilly Allen |
|
|
|
The current darling of the UK music scene gets the mash up treatment in fine style. Scroll down the list of MP3s and look for the entry under ‘Alex C’. |

The Sex Pistols/Visage |
|
|
|
It takes real vision to realise that if you slow down the guitar riff from The Sex Pistols’ Pretty Vacant and then splice it with the classic New Romantic (like Emo, but softer and for old people) anthem Fade To Grey it’ll sound like audio perfection. |

Enya/The Prodigy |
|
|
|
Truly one of the finest mash ups around, and proof (if proof were needed) that you really can mix pretty much anything together to make a new (and improved) track. Download it for yourself and prepare to be amazed… |

Beyonce/The Muppets |
|
|
|
With more than a subtle nod to the excellent DJ Yoda, this is a simple and hugely effective mash up, mixing Work It Out from Beyonce with the theme tune from The Muppet Show – with a bit of Nightmare by Brainbug thrown in for good measure. |

The Chemical Brothers/Leftie Soul Connection |
|
|
|
A classic mash up from one of the best in the business. There are loads of MP3s to download at Alex’s site, but we reckon that the best place to start is with this gem. |

The Gossip/Elastica |
|
|
|
Even though it’s been overplayed to death, we’re still quite fond of Standing In The Way Of Control by The Gossip (and oddly attracted to Beth Ditto, too). We’re even more fond of Connection by Elastica though, and this blend works deliciously well. |

Guns ‘n’ Roses/Foo Fighters |
|
|
|
Arguably Guns ‘n’ Roses finest moment (Sweet Child Of Mine) is mixed with a classic Foo Fighters (Times Like These) tracks to stunning effect. |

Luniz/Tom Petty/Cam Farrar/Afroman |
|
|
|
Most mash ups (even the good ones) take two songs and blend them, but not Voicedude. He’s taken four here and mixed them so beautifully that he’s created something unique and therefore most worthy of a coveted space on your iPod. |

Christina Aguilera/Curtis Mayfield |
|
|
|
Another sweet blend, with Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man mating with Mayfield’s Pusherman in a match that was surely made in Heaven. Listen carefully and we swear that you can’t hear the join. |

Plastic Bertrand/Prodigy |
|
|
|
We love Ca Plane Pour Moi as much as people who love French Punk/New Wave can, and we’re also quite fond of Smack My Bitch Up, as it seems to be a natural choice for masher-uppers, so imagine how delighted we were to find this gem. |

Cassie/Yazoo/Art of Noise |
|
|
|
A not-so-subtle blend of Yazoo’s Situation and Moments In Love from the Art of Noise creates a loveable bleeping 80s soundtrack, and putting Cassie’s R&B hit Me & You over the top is inspired. |

Christine Aguilera/Michael Jackson |
|
|
|
Another wise selection, as Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man and Michael Jackson’s Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough blend very nicely to create a track that does fine credit to both its original sources. |

Peter Gabriel/Gorillaz |
|
|
|
Who would have imagined that a fusion of Peter Gabriel’s Big Time with Dare from Gorillaz would sound like their meeting was fate? Not us, but it works really well, actually. |

Peter Gabriel/Martha And The Vandellas |
|
|
|
Continuing the Peter Gabriel Mash Up special, the infectious hook of Dancing In The Street is perfectly suited to Sledgehammer’s groove. Download it now and just see if we’re not 100% right. |

Klaxons/Todd Terry |
|
|
|
Todd Terry’s Can You Party (Can Your Feel It) and Magik from the current Indie darlings, Klaxons… and give it time, as it’s a definitely grower. Click on the link above and go to the entry for November 11 to find the track. |

Arctic Monkeys/Leftfield/Shed 7 |
|
|
|
Phat Afternoon starts with a stabbing hook from Arctic Monkeys' The View From The Afternoon and is soon accompanied by an excellent beat from Leftfield’s Phat Planet. A brash and brilliant song that’s far too loud and laughs at you behind your back. |

The Ordinary Boys/Madness |
|
|
|
This really shouldn’t work at all, and there are times when it almost doesn’t, but when the fairly average Boys Will Be Boys is put up against the classic Baggy Trousers from Madness, then the mix is sublime. |

Kill Bill Soundtrack/Phil Collins |
|
|
|
If you thought that In The Air Tonight was okay, but lacked a bit of a punch in the middle section, then this is the Mash Up for you. Adding in the theme tune from Kill Bill is the perfect remedy and improves the track greatly. |

The Cure/Peter Gabriel |
|
|
|
Two truly beautiful songs (Lullaby from The Cure and Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes) are naturally drawn together in this gorgeous mash up. If you listen closely you can hear the join, but it pretty impressive nonetheless. |

Britney Spears/Supermen Lovers |
|
|
|
The Supermen Lovers are a French band that had a number two hit in the UK with Starlight, while everybody surely knows who Britney is. We enjoyed this mix a lot more than we thought we would and recommend you try it for yourself. |
