Over at /r/mashup MixMstrStel is running a vote to find the best mashup of 2021, which got me thinking, Bootie Best of style what were my best mashup of 2021 (and crumplbangers and blends and mashup related things)? (I did vote for one which was a really hard choice - you can see my decision at the end of this post, and why). So I went through all the mashup podcasts of 2021 - they now have their own category, woo! and refined it down to a quick rough list of 25 my favourites of 2021. This really is off the top of my head stuff, if I thought about it too long and re-listened to every mashup of 2021 I featured it would drive me mad with indecision! Also unlike Bootie not thinking of doing an album - again if I did that I'd go down a rabbit hole of it being 'perfect' and making covers etc, don't have the time and it would be too obsessive. So here are links to them all so you can listen, in no particular unranked order: Ian Fondue – Part Of Regret (Katy Perry vs New Order)Homebound Kid - What Makes a DJduuzu – Dancing My Thos Up (Prodigy vs Bowie vs REM vs Food House vs Jet Set Radio vs Rick James vs Kanye West)iWillBattle – The Winner Takes Pork And Beans (Weezer vs ABBA) (or Lewis Wake's Weezer vs Robyn)William Maranci – Blink 1-Oddity (Blink 182 vs David Bowie vs Spiritualized)Burt Reynolds Mashup - Black Hole Twin. (Soundgarden vs Aphex Twin)dunproofin - Freddie To Go (Queen vs Teddy Pendergrass vs Annie Lennox vs Republica vs Iggy Pop)Minor Arth - Madonna, Archive & Joy Division - Ray Of Light | Numb Isolation remixBill McClintock – You Make Me Feel Like Dancing (Leo Saver vs Metallica)HallMighty - Rhiannon I'll Be There (Fleetwood Mac vs. Nile Rogers)SCO Network - Physical Helicopter (Dua Lipa vs Bloc Party)oki – kermisklanten vs russ abbotMarc Johnce – Stuck With Mr. Lonely (Bobby Vinton vs Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber) Tiermensch – People Are Dreaming Of Rainbows In The Dark (Dio vs. Depeche Mode vs. Fleetwood Mac mashup) iWillBattle – Jump Bang Polka (Jessie J vs Ariana Grande vs Nicki Minaj vs The_Heimatdamisch)Lil Squint – Rasputin’s Hotel Room Service (Boney M. vs Pitbull – veggibeats reboot)daftbeatles – Adele vs George MichaelpomDeter - pinkbucketreggaednbCERTIFIED MASHUP GIRL – WRUNAWAY (Miley Cyrus vs Kanye)CarrotKid08 – Call Out My Crazy Diamond (The Weeknd vs Pink Floyd)pomDeter – Bring The Shetland Reels (Alexander Brothers vs Public Enemy)HallMighty – London’s Crying (Black Eyed Peas vs Clash)Richest Llama – Baby Elephant Work It (Missy Elliott vs Henry Mancini)dunproofin - Smack Pipe (The Stooges vs Weezer vs The Prodigy vs Fatboy Slim)HallMighty – Drive Home Alone For Christmas (The Cars vs. Chris Rea ft Olivia Rodrigo) If there was a 26th then Oki's track for Summer Booty Oki - The Boys Of The Sun (N.E.R.D. vs Don Henley) would be there - it was a toss-up between pom and oki and pom won cos of his silly Roland Rat Jungle Mashup ;-) EDIT and just realised I missed Zyle & Marc Johnce’s “Doobie Disco” mainly cos I’ve not played it yet…grr., it got delayed by all the Xmas shit. I did look at the stack to play but missed that one.... And some of my other faves for best mashup of 2021 - like Grave Danger's and Raheem D's Weeknd ones were actually not released in 2021. I played a lot of great older mashups this year, deep diving in the archives - new to me, but not actually new. My decision for the best mashup of 2021 to propose over at Reddit? I like melancholic mashups more, things that make me feel are a good sign, that provoke a deeper emotion. I tend to go with my heart with mashups I like best. So it was the slower ones like daftbeatles, Homebound Kid, Carrot08, Burt Reynolds Hallmighty or Marc Johnce that were in the running, I think it has to be Marc Johnce - Stuck With Mr. Lonely which reminds me of the loneliness during lockdown and the video was both sweet and moving (even though I hate Bieber) and works perfectly. It's a rare retro source in mashups (Bobby Vinton) and we need more of those. So that's my vote for best mashup of 2021. I'll change my mind next hour, day, week!
