I Hate Gregg Gillis

Now let’s get one thing straight.  I hate Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk).  I’m really not a fan of his mashups and I still to this day can’t figure out why people tear their eyeballs out of their heads at his gigs.  I’m sure it’s a great show live but I just never bought into his shit.  Because of him I lost all interest in mashups until I was introduced to Ludachrist.  Consisting of Jake (aka Ewun aka Kill The Noise) and Knick (who is one part Evol Intent), this duo has been pumping out absolutely solid mashups.  I’ve been trying to find a good quality recording of this track and I finally found it thanks to the guys over at Mad Decent.  Ludachrist does an excellent job combining Major Lazer’s ‘Pon de Floor’ and the theme you all know from Beverly Hills Cop.  Do I really need to say anything more? lets be serious.

An Evening With Gonzales

Pianist and self described “Musical Genius” ‘Chilly’ Gonzales wraps up his 1 month residency at Joe’s Pub in NYC next week. I had the chance to check out one of his shows last Thursday with guest, A-Trak. Gonzales sweat out a few tunes dressed in a robe and slippers before introducing A-Trak and dropping some R-Kelly and Slim Thug  acapellas, with Gonzales providing the backing. Wamp Wamp.

His final show is next Thursday with guest Princess Superstar.

In other belated news, Ed Bangers 7th Anniversary party was a 16 year olds wet dream, other than the fact that not many people were over 15 and knew who any of the DJ’s were. A-Trak’s guest performance was choice. DJ Mehdi was goood. Breakbot was funky. Justice was EHHH.

Gonzales + A-Trak perform their first jew-et.
