Mutant Pop 4: Attack of the Giant Mutant Mashup Ant (2003) from Radio Clash Podcast: - London-based global music podcast feat. covers, mashups, remixes, and bootlegs since 2004.

OK it took me over a year to get round to doing the rest of the Mutant Pop compilations – I wanted a pause from endless tagging/chasing up of corrupted tracks on crumbling CD-Rs…but with the current GYBO-closing nostalgia it seems the right time to post the rest.

Another slice of mashup history – this one is from late 2003, and like the previous volumes (still available: Mutant Pop 1 – Mutant Pop 2 and Mutant Pop 3, funnily enuff) it’s something I did for friends and when I hit Bastard gave copies to a few people there. Now for a wider audience finally, it’s a mixed affair, this one being more downtempo, dubbier, funkier and jazzier than previous ones – mostly because of the ubiquitous inclusion of several Loo & Placido, Smash & Reverend Dan tracks.

I was getting into the more ambient side of bootlegs at this point, and in later volumes. Oh and everything had to have The Streets on it, twas like Milkshake and Missy the flavour of the month.

Considering these mashups are 9 years old or older, they actually hold up surprisingly well. This was my ‘best of’ current mashup compilation, after all…And yes that is a closeup of an ant, you might find it familiar as I recycled the artwork on the tbc mashup blog page.

As usual front and back covers are included, tagged MP3s, and I’ve tried to correct any obvious errors in the tags (not the original artwork, not going there) but the usual disclaimer applies: if you couldn’t be bothered to tag your shit correctly in 2003, then don’t moan if I get the names wrong in 2012. Consider it karma for endless nights trying to find who the feck did what back then and now…
