I mentioned on Twitter that I was planning a follow-up to these shows, and without even mentioning that the idea was around the theme of first, dorkland aka Walton (Viera?) in Second Life suggested I do a show on the first mashups that got people hooked on them. I did so on Twitter, Get Your Bootleg On forum and this blog and had an amazing response…so amazing that the show has had to be edited down and some of the responses dropped – but I still have 27 amazing tracks which are all classics and part of bootleg/mashup history (and a few were surprises even for me).
Still ended up over 2 hours though! Very much worth it, because it is a 2 hour 20 long mix of some of the most influential and classic bootlegs of all time.
As I said this is part 1 of a series, the next one as it always happens was playlisted first and already included a few mashups and cutups that were mentioned for this show, so those tracks and shouts will be in the next part.
Thanks to all who responded what their first mashup they heard (or wanted to hear) was!
DJ Yoda should be well known to long time listeners of Radio Clash (and anyone into cutups, mashup history, turntablism or music generally), and if not, why not? Actually don’t answer that…
Anyway as part of the Data Transmission podcast he’s created a great Cut and Paste Country & Western mix mix, mixing country, blues and hiphop – sounds like an odd combination? Not really – from Wyclef’s dubplate with Kenny Rogers, to the like of Gangstagrass and millions of mashups the country/hop hybrid has been well done. Even I’ve DJ’d a few of the tracks in this mix as part of the country sets I did in Second Life.
But here are some greats – Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire goes urban, Littlest Hobo and Duellin Banjo drops, and Dolly Parton…need you want anything more?
When I talk about someone remixing YouTube you’ll probably roll your eyes and say ‘I’ve seen that before.’ – well maybe not like this.
Kutiman takes all the acapellas, demos, gear tests, people showing off their skills which there are millions of in YouTube – and a bit like the Napster Nuggets aka Mic In Tracks of old, makes a new track from them:
An amazing mix, and apparently there is an album of these but it’s been nuked by the attention – hope it comes back soon, I really dig this video and would love to see it and the others in hi-res – but it seems quite a few of them have already made it on to YouTube.

And proof you can go all dnb on our asses with stuff like this:
When i interviewed rx oh so many years ago, I did ask him if he’d do more UK-related cutups – nice to see he’s finally done one (well it’s the second if you count ‘Should I Stay or Should I go’
In other related news, the twitter was ablaze with questions for David Cameron this morning via Reuters, Documentally and Sizemore and co., but looks like the Tories didn’t totally understand social media. Ah well…not our loss
Skip to the End 10 Podcast with DJNoNo is live – crazy talk, crazy tunes and crazy three times ten minute mix from a certain insane little red robot DJ.
