Rocking and Rolling In The UK and Popping (sh)It up Everywhere which is about as welcome as a rock in your pop and a turd in your Corporate Sponsored Drink. So I’m getting my revenge by mashing and mixing up pop and rock and everything else and giving it the respect it deserves (i.e, none at all) and trying to show the diversity of mashup culture in this edition.
From cutups to plunderphonics to mashups, white labels and bootlegs, mashcore, sowndclown, crumplebangers, sampladelic collages to bastard pop…it’s all in here somewhere in this Bumper first mashup episode of 2021, usually with a message lurking in the deep fizzy depths. That was the point of my rant after all. I want to hear things in new combinations, not the same old industry sock cooking form, papering over the cracks…
We salute Daft Punk with several tracks, music and mashup heroes extraordinaire (they pretty much invented the modern trend of mashing up all your own tunes up live in 2006/7. Before then usually artists were trying to shine their own turd by adding someone else’s glitter). Really sad to see them walk into the sunset and, err, explode (hence the graphic above). What is more pop than going POP?
Also, we celebrate some boots and reboots, new meets the old. Punk rockers headbanging with the emo goths, metalheads moshing with the pop kids, breakcore gabba fans slamming with the disco queens, drum and bass dub rastas bogling with the candy ravers, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together and mass hysteria!
Where WILL it end? Well in about 2 and a half hours, pop pickers! Tick tick BOOM!
