Imogen Heap vs Timbaland & OneRepublic Mash-up

My latest offering is a fusion of two acts that would not normally go together.......or would they ?

Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" from her album "Speak for Yourself" has been mashed many times but for this track I have decided to use the song "Headlock" which opens the album. Together with Timbaland's take on the OneRepublic single "Apologise" featuring the amazing vocal and writing talent of Ryan Tedder, this mash gives a whole new spin on both tracks.

I decided to keep the artwork really simple on this - I wanted to give it an almost 'photo-copied' look and I think I have achieved this.

So, here for your pleasure is "Headlock Apologise". You can find it at my main site HERE on mashups page 7

Anti Hit List

Canada's Toronto newspaper, 'The Star', features columnist's John Sakamoto's Anti-Hit List every week. It features his own top ten of alternative, sublime tracks some of which are album tracks, unsigned bands, mashups and remixes.

On November 17th John featured my own 'Mercy For The Scientist' from my 'Mercy Street EP' at number 8 in the chart. I have been featured a few times on the top ten before but not for a while so it was great to be mentioned again.

John described my mashup like this........"On which U.K. mash-up artist Bobby Martini works his recombinant magic on Gabriel's poignant "Mercy Street" by pairing it with Coldplay's simpatico "The Scientist" and the less obviously compatible "I just want real love" chorus from the early Pink single, "Most Girls." The alternately ethereal and full-bodied result does an admirable job of realizing Gabriel's "dreams all made solid" lyrics"

You can check the whole list here : http://www.thestar.com/article/276839

Thanks to Mr Sakamoto for the inclusion and I hope to be featured again soon.

Sugababes vs Britney

Well here is a clash of the Divas if I ever saw/heard one !

Sugababes "Hole In The Head" fused with Britney's comeback single "Gimme More"

"Gimme More Suga, Babe" (I wanted to call it 'Gimme More Head' but changed it under advisement from my wife........basically she said she would pull my leg hairs if I called it that.......and pulling the leg hairs really hurts !!)

It's pure pop but it works.

It's available at my main site HERE on mashups page 6

Another one coming soon ......

Chicane vs David Byrne - "Offshore & Lazy" mashup

This mashup was in it's infancy many months ago, last year in fact. It got out on the back burner until quite recently when I came in posession of one of the many 'Chill-Out' albums available. The album featured the ambient mix of Chicane's "Offshore" and so the mash was restarted.

It has a real laid back feel, which was intentional and I hope it will bring back any memories you have from your distant past of chilling with a cocktail in the sun somewhere......

It can be downloaded from my site : BobbyMartini.co.uk on mashups page 6

I'm Not Retiring !

Over the past few days a couple of websites have reported that I am no longer producing mashups and I have retired from the scene. This is not true, however this mis-information is largely my fault and I feel I should explain what has happened.

On various forums I recently posted a thread to my recent Jamelia v Cameo mashup. One of the lines read : "My last mashup ("
This should have read - "My last mashup (for at least a few weeks due to holiday and other commitments)"
Unfortunately, half way through typing my post I was interrupted by a visitor and genuinely forgot to finish the sentence. I clicked the 'publish thread' button and that was that.

I knew nothing of the repsonse to this because I have also had problems with my email account, my ISP and my web server.
A good close mashup friend phoned me to ask "what the hell is all this last mashup about" - and I didn't have a bloody clue what he was talking about !

Add to this some recent changes to my facebook profile - which were meant as 'in' jokes for close friends and family members and the whole thing has blown up without me knowing much about it.

The simple fact is I am not retiring - however, due to some recent surgery I have to take some time out as my health is not at it's best. I am going to re-charge my batteries in America for a couple of weeks, record a 'secret' project whilst there and hopefully return refreshed and ready for some exciting months ahead. In view of this I won't be releasing any new material for some time.

I am sorry for any confusion, upset or puzzlement this caused. None of it was deliberate and it was not done as a stunt. Just a simple case of mis-communication - most of it caused by me, with no thanks to my useless ISP and email providers !!!!!

I hope this clears things up.

Thanks

Bobby

Cameo vs Jamelia

An all time classic, 'Word Up' mashed with a recent 'mashup of sorts' - Jamelia's "Beware of the Dog" which heavily sampled Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus".

"A Cameo Appearance From Jamelia"

Blu Cantrell vs Eric Clapton & Sting

Matt Bland originally did this mashup a while back but had some tuning issues with it and it didn't much get notice. I saw the potential and asked Matt if he would like me to take a look and possibly re-mash it. I did, and this is the end result. From an original idea and mash by mattbland : This is "Lethal Cantrell"

This mash contains elements from : "Hit 'Em Up Style" by Blu Cantrell and "It's Probably Me" by Eric Clapton & Sting - taken from the movie 'Lethal Weapon 3'

You can download from my main site : http://www.bobbymartini.co.uk/ on mashups page 6.
