Oh dear, DJNoNo has returned, well he never left like a new strain lurking or the guest who never leaves... Seems he has taken the Cat Vibing meme with evergreen Ievvan Polkka by street musician Bilal Göregen to a new (low) level by adding accordions, namely Donald Where's Your Troosers to it, with added donks. He does amaze me sometimes, but not in a good way. This was for one of the Crumplbangers Discord challenges but he typically didn't get his shit together and submitted it an hour late. Crumplate? Eva's Polkka Donk Troosers (Bilal Göregen vs Donald Where's Your Troosers vs Donk) Talking of which, the Discord challenges (kind of like the old GYBO challenges). unlike the DJNoNo, they are rather good. I have decided to just post stuff and critics be damned recently, the only lesson I've learned from MrNo, and it will be the last, I guarantee you. The first one was done for the EDM challenge I'm rather proud of this one. The challenge was to have a song with an EDM drop in it - this is as close to EDM I'll ever get, the new Bicep album Isles is ace. And a rare thing from me - a multimash, well sort of, there are tracks from each artist - Bicep and Fleetwood Mac. You might not spot it, but I mixed in and out of Lido and Cazenove by Bicep - same key....And it uses Dreams and Tango In The Night by Fleetwood Mac - 1975 meets 1987 in this dreamy call and response. Dream house, indeed (yes that was a genre, once). And an acapella I made from that exceedingly hard to extract album. Instamatic - Lido Tango (Cazenove Dreams) (Bicep vs Fleetwood Mac) The second was for last week's Crumplbangers Discord challenge - which was to create a A vs B but add drums or percussion from another track. After a failed attempt to make a drum and bass Nirvana track about educational policy (ya rly) I decided to start again with the Old Skool Breaks idea and make a proper old school battle weapon. This is what I would enter the ring to, if I was DJing IRL anymore (and indeed if anything was open...) I'm no stranger to mashing either of these artists together - my Genesis of the Rascals uses Fix Up Sharp vs the original Genesis as a naughty DJ Hero stealback, and also did a version with Stand Up - but weirdly never Old Skool by Dizzee even though I tried many times. And I never worked with the Think Break AFAIK. Also I never got a Phantom mashup to work back in the day either, so this is revenge as I used the WWW version which is a Justice mashup in itself. It didn't win the challenge, but got a respectable fourth in a field of 15 other entries. Not too shabby. Listening back to my other track, I might fix that and try and find a better vocal for it. Drum and bass Nirvana does work, just not with that vocal. P.S. have to thank Ian from Shitty Mashups whose Episode 16 mashup using Justice's Genesis with Young MC and Bruno Mars reminded me of how ace Genesis is under a hip hop track. Well why reinvent the wheel? It's a great and funny podcast, check it out. Instamatic - Old Skool Justice (Battle Weapon - Dizze Rascal vs Justice vs Lyn Collins)
