Rather than yelling “PLAY FREEBIRD” at their shows, these mash-up artists generally get comments about how well they’re playing their MacBook Pro and spinning vinyl. Here are seven mashup artists that really know how to groove.
The Hood Internet
Fork Party had the pleasure of seeing The Hood Internet at a local show, and from a first-hand experience we had to add him to the top. Although not extremely well known, he recognizes great musical pairings and blends them together seamlessly. This specific example of The Hood Internet’s musical styling is Kanye West Vs. Modest Mouse. Check out more on his website.
Girl Talk
Girl Talk (known to his friends as Greg Gillis) is a glitch-hoppin’ pop music mashin’ sonofagun, and he’s got a huge following on the interwebs. He’s been doing his mash-ups for years, and playing live shows for just as long. Read more about Girl Talk on the wikipedia.
Hot Pink Delorean
These three gentlemen from Boston, MA, are known as Hot Pink Delorean. We don’t know if they’re just huge Back to the Future fans or just really enthused about having an obscurely colored vehicle to represent them. They have a MySpace, but I’ll just let you find that on your own…
C2C
If you say it out loud you’d be saying “sea to sea”, which is pretty obvious. C2C is sort of a team of DJ’s that have a passion for mashin’. It may sound a bit wrong, but the music sounds so right.
The Bloody Beetroots + Steve Aoki
Asian-American sensation Steve Aoki mixes his musical talents with the Bloody Beetroots to perform an amazing song and video collaboration called Warp 1.9. It’s cool to see what happens as a result of talented artists come together to create a well produced video to match an equally well produced song.
