This Week in Mashups (05/10/2008)

Mark Vidler and his Go Home Productions has returned, combining the sounds of a generation with his latest Spliced Krispies compilation. Through combining the likes of R.E.M. with the street funk of Luther Vandross’ 1981′s “Never Too Much,” or tying the sickeningly sweet Burt Bacharach with The Commodores Vidler expands on standard after standard, challenging how we remember such timeless music. Visit Vidler’s site to experience each song from the compilation, each accompanied by a brand new video. (GHP) (via Mashuptown)

Speaking of some great nuggets of sound that Mashuptown has linked to recently, they dropped credit to a mash EP released recently by Boston-based producer Lenlow and Katie Enlow entitled Rockin’ The Boots. In it, Enlow gives her best renditions of tracks by everyone from Live to Harry Nilsson to The Beatles, all remixed and mashed over by the amazing Lenlow – it is atop the highest of recommendations this week!

And as always The Hood Internet has kept busy, especially so lately however as both ABX and DJ STV SLV have put up new songs in addition to a strictly Lykke Li-based mash-EP, simply entitled The Hood Internet vs. Lykee Li.

For the life of me, I can’t remember how this video came across my path – but while there’s little unique about it, the mashup backing it up is great. Such is the case that I hadn’t previously seen the original video for “Upgrade U,” but if I can say anything to the credit of this mashup, it’s that it helped me remember how amazingly beautiful Beyonce really is…and really, anything that helps squash these kinds of memories is a good thing.

Lastly, DJ Lobsterdust has dropped a couple of great tracks as of late, one an ode to stadium rock, the other a combination suggests that the producer either has one of the most creative pallets in the genres, or that he takes a lot of drugs.
