In 2010 I’m planning to release the backlog of mashups that got to the sort-of-finished stage and I left due to apathy re: making the covers, mastering (how I HATE mastering – the 7″ version of this took 3 tries!) etc.

So here’s the first, a mashup idea that unusually came from someone else – namely Jeb 50PoundNote who asked why isn’t there a Nasty Girls vs Chewing Gum mashup in existence? A very good question indeed, and here’s the answer:

This comes in two flavours, the ‘7″ Juicy Fruit’ mix and the ‘12″ Bubblicious Genius mix’ – not edits actually totally different mashups, second one I did first as I didn’t have the Chewing Gum instrumental (it’s on the flip side of the 7″) so I used the Headman Dub and Mix, but then Gavin Reborn Identity kindly provided it to me so hence the other version. The DJ version is of course faster, about 126bpm if memory serves, and as Chewing Gum is seriously influenced by Tom Tom Club’s Genius of Love I added a bit of my favourite intro to that song and little bits scattered throughout.

Big thanks to Jeb, Gav and Thomas who apparently couldn’t stop dancing along (that is praise indeed )

Nasty Chewing Girls (7″ Juicy Fruit mix – Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girls’ vs Annie ‘Chewing Gum’)

Nasty Chewing Girls (12″ Bubblicious Genius mix – Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girls’ (That’ll Work remix) vs Annie ‘Chewing Gum’ (Headman Dub & mix) & Tom Tom Club – Genius of Love (extended))

UPDATE: Annie Strand herself (if it is her official account) tweeted about this mash! Woohoo! Thanks Glad you like it.

…and it wasn’t even for my show, it was for Lee’s I Motor Away Hijack that I did with Jeb – you can download it here..http://www.imotoraway.com/?p=38

if you like Radio Clash or 50 Pound Note I really recommend you go listen…it’s even got a guest spot from Buster, Jeb’s star podcasting cat, what more can you want?

And belated Happy Birthday Lee!

The 3rd Live! Radio Clash, this is in honour of From Brussels With Love – the first album on Les Disques Du Crépuscule
the Belgium Factory-Benelux related label finally re-released on CD, and has some amazing tracks on it, from modern classical to new wave to early electronic/new romantic, some of which make it onto this Radio Clash, some will in future. Go get it!

Also in this show is Cuddle the Present mk2 – the second in my electro-inspired mixes, gleefully and lovingly ripping off err, inspired by 50 Pound Note’s excellent Kiss the Future mixes. It’s all his fault…in fact I put in one of his mixes, a great mix of Gino Soccio – Jeb’s one to watch.
