Phew another Crumplstock is over! Friday night to Early Monday, nearly 40 artists, streaming most of that. I found myself having to bail on Saturday after listening for 12 hours (I really wanted to stay up and hear Dan Untitled and MsMiep), and was listening til the bitter end a few hours ago on Sunday night. I wish I'd listened to more of the acts on Friday (eating) and early Sunday (sleeping!). Like a proper festival it's rather overwhelming, so let me guide you to my highlights. The motto of the Crumplstock weekend seemed to be summed up during Travis Not-I's set when he first started with beeping noises and 'What is wrong with this thing?' - sure Crumplstock like ANY livestreaming event has tech issues - usually one or two people have problems. This year it seemed rather more I'm not sure the first set of Crumplstock on Friday happened at all - Scott Cairo's one, apparently only could be heard in New Zealand which is a new one. This will be a common theme... Ah!s video set did take place, and is really good - despite the big chunk taken out as sacrifice to the CopyGods. Love the Simpsons intro, and really liked the Dua LIpa vs Smashing Pumpkins, and the Police Academy Gay Bar sequence (I would). and the political intro. Now on Archive.org for all posterity! That was followed by another of the successful sets, iWillBattle's retro 50s/60s Mashup DJ Set with high production values - specially recorded video and intros! A lot of fun, and as well as his own excellent mashbops? mashops? he played artists like RIAA, DJ Crossability, MasDaMind, mashupchuck and pomDeter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vAy0Rq1F6UIA Also you can download the mashups in his compilation mixtape Mashed Up at the Sock Hop vol 1.. Check out his Twitch video - I had to catch it now because I was out, but it's a corker.. I really like his 'Hole In the Funnel' (Wanda Jackson vs Sugababes). https://www.mixcloud.com/okiokinl/oki-crumplstock-9-set-1/?fbclidIwAR3TWwnnG0uRWEYvrVf81m5pcicaXOitzpbdSV7ADH0cM0qvtO8Gb-pEYSI Then we had Oki's first set - he had sets on Friday and Saturday - Welcome to the Crumpl indeed. Breaks, airhorns, meep meeps, guitars, madness. Even a heavy metal mashup of Ultravox's Vienna makes an appearance! And chipmunk a-ha vs Van McCoy, Love the Bowie vs Radiohead, that's genius - Rock & Roll Suicide Creep. That's a keeper. I did manage to tune in later, and as someone couldn't DJ at short notice so DJ Empirical stepped in - space disco, cosmic disco, hi-NRG, really good, some very deep dives into those genres. We also had dub sets and mashup video sets closing out the Friday. I was one of the early DJs on Saturday but not as early as Marty Batfreak who did a set of classic old-skool mashups deep diving the Bootleg Archive (but sounds like he also had tech gremlins as well. oki was a few slots before me and featured his Cameo Louie mashup amongst others, and a really nice Tears for Fears vs Wicked Game mashup, which I missed in the faff getting ready for my set but caught up with later. Sadly the copyhamsters got to this mix and bit a chunk out of it...;I hope to hear those tracks later. The Frankie Goes To Hollywood reggae mix is really nice as well...very chilled. I posted downloads and links to my set yesterday and after my set was a great set by Dunproofin - various mashup artists and some Dun classics - again not saved, but it was like a mashup set version of his regular Spin sets, which you should definitely check out at his Twitch. - Fridays and Saturday nights is when he streams. Then pomDeter, (orgnaniser of Crumplstock) did a live vinyl mashup set - again not online but hopefully he'll post it somewhere. And next up was PimpDaddySupreme with insane set mashups, breakcore madness, grindcore and pizza! Let It Get WEIRD - if you listen to PDS's regular streams you'll know what to expect, but this was more mashup focused than his other sets. CTFX aka Rudec had streaming gremlins and actually DJ'd on the Sunday so PDS got a double extended set. Boogie Down Under - the name is very accurate, funky hiphop from Australia with this set which they couldn't get to sream over Twitch so we watched over Facebook which can get a bit mutey (some of these sets have already got muted parts so listen ASAP). Thankfully they posted it over to hearthis - the video was really nice as well, loads of 70's graffiti and trains and views of the Bronx, https://hearthis.at/shft/crumplstock-9-the-shift/ After Boogie Down Under we had Duuzu whose original work I have featured before. They did a crazy purple and green themed Fruity Loops? set while wearing green safety goggles...it's to be seen to be believed and is utterly insane, and so is total genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vO12Sb9gOGrc EDIT: now heard the Dan Untitled & MsMiep mix which ended Saturday, and it's total genius - this video explains it far better, but taking Marc-Antoine Charpentier's modes from 1682 and adding the missing ones, and then creating new keywords, and making a set around that...wow.. I like the 'Single and American' and Personal & Red' so far. Download here. https://vimeo.com/568321849 Starting Sunday, Lee Spoons did a classic bastard pop set - particularly liked his Teardrop vs drum and bass - he's no stranger to mashing up Teardrop but like the feel of that, and then turning Joe Jackson's Stepping Out into a Jungle track! Wow. Very Crumpl. Apparently judging from the chat, it's a new track...I look forward to that one beng posted. And the Tyree Cooper vs Sarah Brightman? *chef's kiss* and the Matchstalk Men track - one of the best sets of the whole festival. End of. https://www.mixcloud.com/picnmix/crumplstock-2021/ And then ToTom di a CrumplKids mix with FOUR DJNoNo tracks in it. I am not so easily bribed like that...oh DJNoNo has just shouted over that he IS totally bribable like that. So as you were.... https://vimeo.com/568182443 Contains kids themes and kid-related song mashed up by Phil n' Dog, m0dul4r, Freelance Hellraiser, iWillBattle, Loo & Placido, Justincredible, Frenchbloke and Son and ToTom himself with a few originals thrown in as well. A merry Crumplchild mix, from a hammock in a garden? With cute kitty. Pah, he makes it look easy! You can download it here. https://hearthis.at/budtheweiser/crumplstock-9/iC6/ EDIT: just caught up with Budtheweiser's set they've just posted - they had me at Bowie? does Windmill In Old Amsterdam! I actually almost played my mashup of the Ronnie Hilton version but wasn't happy with it....3/4 drum and bass, sounds rather strange and not banging enough. I also love the Status Quo - Pictures Of Matchstick Men electro mashup/remix too...not the only Matchstick/Matchstalk reference this weekend either. https://hearthis.at/dj-not-i/live-27-06-2021-22-28/ He's been mentioned before, but DJ Not-I did his campfire mashup set again this time...and after the issues were sorted with the mic (shame the oriignal first half of the recording isn't up there, the beginning was very sampleable) was a very good set including ukeleles and the traditional Make It WIt Chu rendition. I liked the Pink Floyd covers/mashups - I suggested he try doing my Green Day vs Pink Floyd mashup. Maybe next time? https://www.mixcloud.com/lewiswake/crumplstock-9-lewis-wake-mashup-set/ And then we had a stickman-hands-in-the-air-tastic DJ set from Lewis Wake who made the BIG mistake of allowing people to spend bits and points on airhorns! Endless airhorns! And, err...Nickleback request? So very Crumpl. But as is traditional now I did a freestyle after party set - unlike DJNoNo's other set he didn't record it, so catch it while the copygods allow - for the gods of Olympus get angry (Why? Are their cameras faulty?). A mix of old school and new - some names should be at Crumplstock but are long gone and very much missed - LV15, Munkychops, DJ Andy Crane (Richie), don blo_up and newer Crumplmashers like lazymashupmann187, Dan Untitled and ZooKreeper https://www.youtube.com/watch?vG2GQSNtC8LA Tracklist DJNoNo - Ska N' Tetris (Ass N' Tetris Ska version) (Prince Fatty vs DJ Assault) Dan Untitled - Careless In The Name Aldi Beats - Are You Free Richard Cheese - People Equals Shit Jamiecg74? - Captain Pugwash (Drum and Bass 2) iWillBattle - When I'm Ante'd Up (George Formby x M.O.P) lazymashupmann187 - Tell Me That I'm Boast (Wiley vs Taylor Dayne) Brotherhood Of Man - Pop Muzik Lidl Mashups - Du Hast Polka Munkychops - Short Dick Punk (20 Fingers vs. Daft Punk) DJ Andy Crane - Mysterious Golden Milkshake LV15 vs LFO vs Vanilla Ice - Oscillation Baby blo up - 1Rave Soundhog - 500 Bad Mice (Proclaimers vs 2 Bad Mice) ZooKreeper - 500 Hamster Time (Hampton The Hamster vs. Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen vs. The Proclaimers) Lyd - Gimme Ragga Joanna (SL2 vs Eddy Grant) DJ Eugene McCauley - RASPUTIN Donk Party
