Bangers and mash (music)

I can't possibly resist a mash-up that includes both Uma Thurman and AC/DC. This is ViC (http://vic.official.fm/) someone I hadn't heard of before mashing Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle without honor or humanity" - better known as the theme to Kill Bill - against AC/DC's "Back in Black" with Yann Tiersen's "J'y suis jamais allé" off the film Amelie. With special Uma voiceover... *melt*.

DJ Schmolli has been particularly prolific lately, but I haven't been that impressed by his output. Here he returns to expected form with a summer banger using seven popular dance tunes, from Faithless's "Insomnia" to Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction". Three versions for your listening pleasure.

This is a fun South American sound of the kind we don't get enough up here. The mix is composed from live performances given in Brazil in 2005 by Mano Negra and La Phaze who were touring together at that time. There's a definite drum&bass feel over the unstoppable salsa/Brazilian rhythms. I'm not a big d&b fan in the first place, but this really works because there's so much underlying energy.

Woodkid's (http://www.myspace.com/woodkid) "Iron". APC calls it moody and scary, which I think is overstating things. It's darkly melodic and has dramatic drums, and I like it, but that's all. I'm having a hell of a time finding info on Woodkid. Both the Facebook and MySpace pages are near no-ops.

Analog Cuvée is another of the Balkan/electronic scenesters who featured in DJ Pozsi's Balkan Mash-ups Radio. This is an older track for them, with a new video. It's calmer, and more beautiful - more like a folk ballad than the frenetic stuff I linked to last time.

When last we heard from DJ Zebra he was doing light-heared fast-talking best-of stuff. This is wholly different. If you ever forgot Bob Marley was about protest music, Zebra did not forget. Here he gives us a brilliant mash of Marley with Massive Attack. Using the lyrics of Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" over scenes of protests from the Arab Spring uprisings is just right. The visuals are as powerful as the music is moving.

As if to prove he hasn't lost his sense of humor and fun, DJ Zebra also gives us this brain-twister. On the surface it's just a mash of Saturday Night Fever (I think he's pulling from both "Staying Alive" and "You Should Be Dancin'" and maybe "Boogie Shoes") versus "Roxanne". I loathe SNF with the fiery hate of a thousand "disco sucks" suns. And I'm not really that fond of the overplayed/overrated Police tune, either. But... but... but. There are horns! And live dancing, not just baby-Travolta clips. As a live performance piece this works and is infectiously fun.
