Simply beautiful video and audio mashup by Phil Retrospector taken from the awesome MASHED POPPED PUNKED mashup album, which you can download here. 3 songs, 2 movies, creating something new and moving.
The Young Punx return for their second studio album, a startling and inventive exploration of the deliberate destruction of genre boundaries in electronic music. Probably the first album in history to have toyed with drum and bass, heavy metal, electropop and cuban timba within the first 5 minutes (!) “Mashpop and Punkstep” is a vibrant manifesto for the next generation of mashup music. Featuring the epic collaboration with Memphis hip hop Don ‘Count Bass D’ – “Ready For the Fight” (already heard as the theme music for EA Games “Fight Night 4″ and as official entry music for world middleweight champion Arthur Abraham), the J-pop electro disco of SugarCandySuperNova and the Ragga House of “Juice and Gin” the album spans Puccini Opera, Punk rock, hip hop, synth pop, Japanese rock and much more…

I do declare I have discovered the most 80s thing in existence. This appears to be the high water mark for eightiesness. The one moment in which every 80s cliché invented is rolled together into one giant, non ironic monstrosity, after which the wave broke and stage was set for grunge and acid house to burn down the party. Essentially what you are about to see looks like a world where a Cyndi Lauper / Madonna clone and Billy Idol spend their time driving a slightly lame car through a dry ice laced cocaine factory. It’s an MTV advert for the Plymouth Duster, a car that was actually pretty cool in the early 70s, but by 1985 couldn’t be saved by a desperate attempt to surround it with every single signifier of youth cool the guys at the ad agency could rustle up. Brace yourself.

It struck me the other day that less really is more. It’s also been my mantra these past couple of weeks “clean living is good”. Here at TYP HQ we focus a lot on increasing the payload; we like to keep adding, topping up, and going a little bit further. But there needs to be balance. Space and room to breath and think; regain focus and sharpen your senses.
Yacht “Don’t Fight The Darnkess” (DFA)
I’ve been trying to find a way to describe this track by uber-band, Yacht and i think Rolling Stone said it best with “Precisely programmed digital ear candy”. Signed to James Murphy’s cult label, DFA, it isn’t any surprise that i should now find myself obsessed with their output. Take the time to discover Yacht for yourselves.
Thanks to Regnsky for this.
A few good things came out of last night’s trip to the O2 to see Si and Hal performing with Dizzee Rascal
1. working out that if you tell the O2 car park attendants you’re off to the cinema you can bypass the hefty £25 parking fee and gaining access to the much more reasonable £3 per two-hour ‘other car-park’; 2. seeing Lilly Allen start a fight in the audience by pointing out her boyfriend’s location to a wearily pissed bunch of Kent idiots, and 3. hearing this classic between the live sets;
Shy FX’s superb remix of The Terrorist ‘The Chopper’ has long been in the record box – pre-digital pre-CD – and will now be making a well deserved comeback in all TYP DJ sets where applicable (open minded good-times audience need only apply)
In blog world we’re a bit late on this one but none the less it’s still good for glory. New from UK producer duo, SuperMal – whose tracks and remixes are regularly supported by the likes of Grum, Fear of Tigers and Russ Chimes – is this super-synth Frenchfest remix of Dada ft. The Other ‘Majestic’. Frenchmen take cover, this one’s incoming straight from across the channel and it’s gonna blow!
We of course first came across the pair when they asked to collaborate with Phonat on the now widely favoured ‘Pixelated‘.

Sidney Samson exploded into the tuneiverse last year with the monster anthem, ‘Riverside’, racking up no less than 6.5 million plays on Youtube. Now Sidney is back, this time via CR2 Records, with something new albeit still very Dutch. Stand-alone, ‘Shut Up & Let It Go’ featuring Lady Bee has all the hallmarks of Sidney Samson’s own brand of ‘dirty-dutch’ house, so for fans of this movement it’s twice the bunce that it should also have been remixed by fellow Dutch filth peddler, Chuckie. The TYP pick of the bunch though has to be the sharper re-rub from Bass Kleph. Check it..

Awesome fan generated video mashup here with the incredible Bestrack remix of Phonat Love Hits The Fan cut to Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal video. A great idea but really well executed too!
