mix and mash

For some reason I seem to have heard a lot of really good remixes lately. In my experience remixes can go either way: some are utterly pointless and sound terrible, some just work really well.

The following fall into the latter category. Well I think so anyway. (Note for pedants: I believe some of these may be better described, by people who care about such things, as "mash-ups".)
And then these two contrast such radically different styles in the originals that they flirt dangerously near to being horrible car crashes. I think they just about work though. See what you think.

Some crackers on the list The Beatles ones are my pick of the bunch..love the Taxman booty on the Afro Beatles site...

There's a ton of bootleg remixes on my ol' blog - including some exclusive text from Mark Vidler on his Spliced Krispies set and a few from the The Beastles (Beatles Vs Beastie Boy mixes)... click here for the full set

Thanks for the tip off on these

Thanks for the link to those remixes Mondo. Looks like some good stuff here. Will have a listen later in the week.

Glad you like the Wicked/Kung Fu MM and no I don't think that makes you gay...
