good morning! yesterday i had the worst headache and today i'm feeling much better thankfully after a great night of sleep - which i could always use more of - i'm so not a morning person! anyways here's the latest mashup selection from my pal DJ paul v. - i always love when he features mashups from party ben - one of the best mash makers around! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
Those of you who know me, know that I've been around the block a few times (that's my own gentle way of saying I'm...old). But with that wealth of age comes being lucky enough to say I got to experience a few decades of great music, the late 70's included. I enjoyed many wacky cigarettes while listening to Eddie Money back in high school, and here, the always prolific Party Ben brings Mr. Money full circle by showing his influence on 2K's hit-makers. In this case, London's The Ting Tings. Proving that every great DJ needs to pay attention to how the old-school remains too cool.

METALLICA VS BRYAN ADAMS - MASHUP!
Thursday August 7 2008 @ 8:08AM
COMMENTS (0) | PERMALINK | TAGS

good morning! here's the latest mashup selection from my pal DJ paul v. which takes on metallica (who are returning with a new album this year) and canadian rocker bryan adams...two elements you might not think to put together but this mashup actually works quite well - have a listen for yourself below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week let's rock out a little, shall we? I'd mentioned the 90's revival a few weeks ago, and Metallica definitely falls into that category. And since the 80's revival is practically a never-ending story - hey, someone mashup Limahl, eh? - here's a pastiche of both eras. You get the angry-dude vocals from James Hetfield, set to the fun, rock radio pop of Bryan Adams' 'Run To You,' and it's amazing how similar the chords and melody work within each other. This comes courtesy of Australia's Wax Audio. Good on ya, mate! Peruse his website to check out some of his politically themed mixes, too.

EVERY BLEEDING BREATH - MASHUP!

good morning boys & girls! so i'll be the first person to admit that i'm totally sick of leona lewis and her mega smash hit single 'bleeding love' - which is going to make my ears bleed if i hear it played on the radio one more time - however this mashup selection from my pal DJ paul v. gives ms. lewis' track a different vibe that's actually really groovy - have a listen for yourself below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
You've heard the expression 'hand in glove' right? You know, when something in life just seems to be that perfect fit. Well, that's exactly how to describe this week's mashup, because this one is so smooth and so slick, you might lose your breath. Leave it to a Swede like Divide & Kreate to concoct such pure pop perfection, letting Leona Lewis pour out her 'Bleeding Love' atop The Police (and I do believe there's a bit of those guitar chords from Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' and some extra beats from Billy Squier going on). The last thing you'll want when listening to this is a Band-Aid...

Listen to Divide & Kreate - Every Bleeding Breath [.mp3 7.1mb]

PS to my LA peeps Bootie LA is back again this Saturday, August 2nd at The Echoplex in Echo Park, and we are rarin' to go, getting you dancing to the mashups! We've got extra special guests Eclectic Method - all the way from London - who will drop a mind-blowing all-video mashup set. You can peep a teaser of their video mixin' skills here.

MASHUP TIME W/ MISSY ELLIOTT

good morning! oh i'd love to sleep a little more this morning after last night's revelry but unfortunately i've got to get my ass to work soon - right now we've got the latest mashup selection from DJ paul v. that mashes missy elliott with some country tune - and the two work quite well together - it's totally time for a hoedown! (jessica simpson is not invited...) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week we're gonna swerve to the left a little, and feature something that's got an electro-flava remix happening - but it's definitely using two tracks to maximum effect. OK, so the vocal is Missy Elliott's '4 My People.' And the music, well - it's a veritable country-fied throwdown, that I swear I know in my head, but I can not for the life of me NAME it! Those violins and fiddles - is this like from the 'Brokeback Mountain' soundtrack or something? Either way, all you popbytes readers who do know what it is, school me and tell me! On paper you might scratch your head. But on your stereo - loud - it'll make you wanna stomp around a burning barn in a pair of gangsta cowboy boots and bling-encrusted overalls. It's all courtesy of London's club and BBC DJ/remixer, Kissy Sell Out. He's actually donating all sales of this bootleg EP to the British Association Of Adoption & Fostering. Nice one!

SMASHING PUMPKINS VS MARVIN GAYE
Thursday July 17 2008 @ 8:07AM
COMMENTS (0) | PERMALINK | TAGS

good morning! here's the latest mashup of the week selected by my pal DJ paul. v - a nice smooth track that definitely has a nice nostalgic retro feel to it - i used to love smashing pumpkins back in the day and i know everyone loves a little marvin gaye - i think you'll enjoy this track which mashes the two together quite nicely! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
Have you noticed how fast nostalgia creeps back into our consciousness? It's seems like people are already starting to yearn for the 90's. Maybe it was the non-criminal president and bustling economy we had, or remembering how great alternative rock was back then, before it got so over-commercialized. The Smashing Pumpkins (in their original form) were one of the greats of the era, and '1979' was one of their best singles. Team 9 mashes them with the Motown strains of Marvin Gaye, and it takes on a whole new flavor. And speaking of hearing things through the grapevine, did you catch that Courtney Love is practically livid at Billy Corgan, because he didn't show up at Frances Bean's Sweet 16 birthday party? She expected him to fly home from his tour in Europe. Get a grip, Courtney!

good morning! i am in love with this week's mashup selection from DJ paul v. which uses one of my favorite songs of all-time (in fact i just bought it last week to toss on my ipod) carly simon's 'you're so vain' - who doesn't like that song?!? anyways i'm a wee bit tired from last night's natasha bedingfield concert - she was amazing live - i had a splendid time and met a bunch of cool people - now i just need to deal with today - ugh! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week's mash has a bit of a backstory to it. See, back in 1972, singer Carly Simon had a number one hit with 'You're So Vain.' After bedding celebs of the era like Warren Beatty, Kris Kristofferson and Mick Jagger, there's still speculation to this day as to which self-absorbed ex-lover is the subject of the bitch-slap lyrics. And Carly adamantly says she probably won't ever reveal who it actually is. Well, most fingers tend to point to Jagger (nearly Simon's doppleganger then with those rubber lips and long brown hair), and it's imagined in song by the prolific and always-intriguing Go Home Productions, who comes out of semi-mashup-retirement with a new batch of tunes dubbed 'Spliced Krispies' that are mainly dipped in the late 70's rock era. You can check the video here.

good morning y'all! oh my word - this week has been flying by - it's already time for the mashup of the week selected by my pal DJ paul v. and tomorrow is the 4th of july (and more importantly a day off for me!) i think you'll totally dig the track below that combines madonna with tone loc (yes the 'wild thing' guy) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo PS if you haven't seen the 'tranny' version of madonna's single 'give it 2 me' - then you must check out give hard candy 2 me - major kudos to steven corfe!


FROM DJ PAUL V.
I have to admit, I'm ain't feeling the new Madonna record 'Hard Candy' with mucho gusto. I don't hate it, but I guess it just feels a little forced and slightly...desperate? But having said that, I am definitely really digging the new single, 'Give It 2 Me' (if you believe the gossip, Madge might be giving her Guy some divorce papers 2 sign very soon...) Anyway, La Ciccone meets Tone Loc on the dance floor to drop some wild moves - courtesy of Xam - and it adds just enough retro grime to the bouncy, futuristic proceedings.

PS TO MY LA PEEPS It's that time of the month again - time for BOOTIE LA at The Echoplex! After our packed and wild 3rd Anniversary & Pirate Ball last month, we're rarin' to go and throw down more of the hottest mashups. It'll be dance floor fireworks this holiday weekend, so come join us!


good morning! oh gosh i'm totally tired but last night was way awesome - although george michael didn't sing everything i wanted to hear - he left out three very important songs in my opinion and i'll let you know what they are when i do a review post on the show this weekend - other than that i had an excellent time - everyone was up on their feet most of the time - myself included! right now i've got the latest mashup selection from DJ paul v. - this one is jam packed with everyone from fleetwood mac to tone loc! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
In the mashup world, some people look at Girl Talk (aka Greg Gillis) as the ultimate party starter, while others sometimes poo-poo his "everything but the kitchen sink" ADD approach to loading up his tracks. Sometimes just when you're diggin' a combo in the mix, it soon becomes something totally different. Me, I fall someplace in the middle, because there is no denying that Gillis can jam a party with his skills. His debut CD 'Night Ripper' was a major sensation, and he's now dropping the follow up, Feed The Animals. It's impossible to list everything here, but you'll peep some Donna Summer, Gwen Stefani, Bizarre Inc., Bowie, Daft Punk, Fleetwood Mac, Tone Loc, M.I.A., The Cranberries...and more!

good morning! this week's mashup selection from my buddy DJ paul v. feautures one of my favorite new artists estelle - who i featured on popbytes not once but twice! her track american boy (featuring kanye west) is one of my top summertime songs - and this mashup gives it a whole new spin! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
A few weeks ago, you heard me extolling the virtues of the UK's delicious The Ting Tings, and I decided to keep that love train rollin'. But, the other half of this mashup (from DJ STV SLV) is another UK chart-topper who's just starting to get inside the heads of US listeners - Estelle! Her ubiquitous 'American Boy' - featuring Kanye West - is the kind of perfect, breezy summer pop hit you just can't get out of your head. Paired up with the Chic-inspired 'Shut Up & Let Me Go' from the Tings, and you've got some double-whammy good times!

SATISFACTION JAM - MASHUP TIME!

COMMENTS (0) | PERMALINK | TAGS

good morning! here's yet another groovy & energizing mashup selection courtesy of DJ paul v. (i'm still totally digging on the lady gaga mashup from last week) thank heavens tomorrow is friday - it has been a very busy week and i'm so looking forward to the weekend (even if it's only two days long - a total tease!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week's mashup will waste no time gettin' the party started. It comes from Long Beach's own Sparrow Love Crew (who I had on my radio show a few weeks ago), and the minute I heard this, my butt started moving. And even though it's probably the most overplayed electro song of the last few years, Benny Benassi's 'Satisfaction' still sizzles like a dirty, horny robot. Throw in some Fatman Scoop, Lil Mama, Rihanna, Lil Jon, Dizzee Rascal, and Ludacris and we're talking major mixin' mojo on the dancefloor.
