Here’s the audio(and video if you scroll down) of my International Mash Bash set (btw several inclusions of Lady Sov’s Love Me Or Hate Me means it is a bit sweary in places). The idea of the set was to combine audio and video – a new one for me – and in part represent Bastard and a theme runs through it commemorating 20 years since the Second Summer of Love (1989) – it seems piano house sound is coming back, so I wanted to mix old and new.

Also it includes Far Out – which was one of the first songs I DJ’d back in 1994 at Milk Laboratory (hence the Milk Lab mentions in the video which I also did) approriate as I said in my previous post, this is my last DJ set…at least for some time, might do VJing, might do online DJing, but probably the last one I’ll do in the flesh. Far too stressful, and far too many people ‘not getting it’ even when I try and make a floorfilling set like this one. Time to stop

EDIT: Safari users might want to download and play the MP3 below rather than click the player, looks like Soundcloud’s Flash has a problem with Safari going crashy crashy…

You can also download it here – or if you’re subscribed to this blog you’ve probably got it already

And drumroll – here’s the video. Yes I’ve combined the backing video for the Saarbruecken DJing with the set audio – most of it is synched, especially at the end. It is itself a mashup of films, found video, my own work, stop frame anim and animation. It includes video from:

• Unfinished works from 2002 – you might recognise a few people in there
• Hausu (strange 1977 Japanese film)
• My Milk Lab Tapes and TV Smash films
• Amiga demos new and old
• Architectural films
• 24 Hour Party People
• A Swiss documentary about Bastard
• Variety films from the turn of the last century
• Certain D*sney films starring Julie Andrew
• Various documentaries on the Second Summer of Love, rave culture
• Music videos (like, duh)
• UHF (Weird Al film) and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
• My Printer Jam video (incidentally Fox has just removed that off YouTube! Boo!)
• Mistah Pok video for Burn Yr Radio with a new arty background which will make you go postal
• Wild Zero – another exceedingly odd Japanese movie

Watch and learn all your DVD-player bothering VJs – THIS is how it is done (1st one NSFW audio):

Eclectic Method – Jonny Living Room Jam from Eclectic Method on Vimeo. (via AudioPornCentral)

Eclectic Method have been doing this for years like Hexstatic, and are kings of the live mashup video mix, IMO. And one of the best of the cutup crowd – cos they do far more than VJing.

And to see them doing their thing, watch this video…love the U2 drops, a reference to Emergency Broadcast Network perhaps? Reminds me of some of their ZOO-TV work, or the EBN theme anyways (there are loads of EBN videos available at that link or Josh Pearson’s site also highly recommended!).

Eclectic Method – Media Hype Overload from Eclectic Method on Vimeo.

Can you get a mostly blander set of hits than this? NOW used to be a mix of the shit and the good, cred and the crap…now sadly success is probably only measured in sales rather than whether it’s good or not.

There are some Pop Classics™:

Kylie, Yazz, UB40, RUN DMC, Beyonce, Bon Jovi (I hate to say it, but yes) Ray parker Jr., Sinead O’Connor, Scissor Sisters, Britney Spears, Robbie Williams (ditto), R.E.M, Queen, Gnarls Barkley, FGTH, Outkast, PSB’s, Peter Gabriel, Spice Girls (double ditto), The Proclaimers, Diana Ross

but there are a lot even with the benefit of hindsight which should have been suffocated at birth:

Will Young, Fergal Sharkey, U2 (ooh controversy!), Tpau, Roxette, Cher, Phil Collins, The Verve, Westlife, Tony Christie, The Killers, S Club 7, Shania Twang, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, Rihanna, Duffy, Wet Wet Wet, Belinda Carlisle, Mika, Natalie Imbrooglywoogly, Crowded House, James Blunt, Katy Perry

and others which are like ‘yes but not that song?!?!’

David Bowie, Take That, Tina Turner, Wham, Elton John, Coldplay, No Doubt, Timbaland, Eurythmics, Kaiser Chiefs

And talking of DJ Timmy Tim as he was known, why no Missy? Distinct lack of Eminem too. As we all know Madonna has never graced a NOW album either, having been kept off the No. 1 slot by one, but Prince has, so why the no show?). And no New Order – not even Blue Monday.

So what would be your NOW 25 years wonder playlist?

OK for once under the vague and wafer thin pretense of being the mashup blog I’m supposed to be, I’m going to start (well for at least one post to post tunes I’m digging atm with links! woo!

First up is Dunproofin -  my favourite bootlegger of 2008 (and pretty close to that in 2007 AND 2006!) and friend of the show (he provided the lovely Radio Clash remix that now serves at the theme tune) and I have to say he deserves to be as big as Soulwax or GHP and has the skills to back that up. Don’t believe me? – check this out:

Dunproofin’s Incredible (and he is an’ all – Oasis ‘Live Forever’ vs M-Beat ft General Levy ‘Incredible’ vs 808 State’s ‘Pacific State’) which I first heard played by the lovely DJ Lumpy at Eclectic Kettle isn’t the first Oasis jungle mix floating around- there is a Wonderwall one which sounds like it was mastered on cardboard – but it’s certainly the best, and with 808 too? Bonus!

Also check out Police Klaxons (Klaxons ‘Golden Skans’ vs Police’s ‘Can’t Stand Losing You’) which makes Stings (can I say one thing? STING!) vocals less than excrable which is some going.

He also put out a ‘best of’ album, which you can download on torrent here – really really recommended, highly so. Especially the original FU2, and check out the new version on his site.

Another contender for masher of the year is australian bootlegger Wax Audio – you might know him from his political mashes, but his recent and not-so-recent Maiden and Metallica mashes will make any metal mickey happy…but here he goes more for an 80′s vibe mixing Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill with Prince’s Sign o’ the Times, and makes something that works for these times. I like the brooding quality here, makes Kate’s track less than the slightly-god bothering track it is and more darker, doubtful.

Mashups of Running up that Hill are rare apart from DJ Magnet’s Pet Shop Boys opus, unlike Sign o’ The Times which is fairly well remixed, and having tried to mash it recently I now know why – tis a nightmare to work with, so kudos to Mr Wax Audio for creating something that works so well.
