This Week in Mashups 02/23/2008

DJ Lobsterdust has released a fantastic stab at Gary Greenwald’s 1982 accusation that Queen’s lyrics bear a Satanic messages. From Lobsterdust, “Did you know that playing Queen’s ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ backwards reveals satanic messages designed to corrupt and enslave the young minds who listen to it? Back in 1982 Pastor Gary Greenwald attempted to expose this satanic conspiracy, and now more than 25 years later here is my homage to his classic sermons.”

The Hood Internet’s ABX reinvents one of my favorite songs of all time, mixing Nice & Smooth’s “Sometimes I Rhyme Slow” with Crystal Castles. Also this week, ABX put together another track featuring Youngbloodz and Andrew Bird and DJ STV SLV mashed R. Kelly with Rogue Wave.

DJ Schmolli returns this week combining the sounds of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” with Justice’s smash “D.A.N.C.E.” Somehow C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” seamlessly gets tossed into the mix, the final product: “Justice For Billie Jean.”

Relative newcomer The Abrahammer dropped me a line recently, introducing me to a few tracks he’s produced. Some presenting themselves as bulging mixes, some as straightforward mashups, every track I heard was professional and full of bounce. Colin has made a dozen of his mixes available over here, amongst the various tracks are mashes featuring Air and Lupe Fiasco!
