La Roux Double Pack including "La Roux In Pain"

After a long time off I bring you two new mashups, both featuring "Bulletproof" by La Roux.

-

The first is La Roux vs Chuck Carr....never heard of him ???? - Well you have now. He wrote the theme tune to the PS3 game "PAIN" and I just though it would fit "Bulletproof" perfectly.

-

The second mash is a fusion with Andy Hunter's "Sound Pollution". You may have heard of him, maybe not? Either way, visit his site, buy his tunes and enjoy.....he is pretty good.

-

"La Roux In Pain" can be found on this wonderful compilation HERE

-

Both tracks can be downloaded from my main site at www.bobbymartini.co.uk

-

Happy Xmas and all that.....till next time....Bobby !

George Michael vs Duffy - "Careless Duffy"

This mash is a true, sad ballad of epic proportions.

The Feeling vs The Bravery - "I Love It When You Ring"

The UK's 'The Feeling' gets the mashup treatment this time. Fused with New York based 'The Bravery's "Ring Song".
-
This one was fun to do. Quite simple. Not life changing but a jolly little bit of pop for your ears.
-
The Feeling - "I Love It When You Call"
The Bravery - "The Ring Song"

F.E.A.R In Lila's Eyes

This mashup features an instrumental track called "Lila" by Vas - a duo of American percussionist Greg Ellis and vocalist Azam Ali (who is also an awesome hammered dulcimer player, as you can here on this track)
-
I first heard this track whilst watching the first Tomb Raider film. It isn't actually featured on the album so I had to hunt around a bit and finally found the album on itunes.
-
I have always wanted to use the track in a mash but never found the 'right' match. An excuse to use it came in the form of the latest Sound-UnSound compilation, "Bhangra Booty".
-
I wanted to use the Vas track but really wanted to make it more busy and give the mash a real 'ethnic/indian, busy market street sound'.
-
I chose Ian Brown's 'F.E.A.R' as the perfect instrumental to match the 'Lila' track (and the real bonus was the fact that it was in key !!!) but the problem was finding the perfect acapella ???
-
Kelly Clarkson wasn't the first choice. The mash first had a male pella but something just wasn't gelling and although I have used the Kelly Clarkson pella before, mashed with Coldplay, I didn't mind using it again.
-
The end result is exotic, busy, dreamy, but most of all, in time and in key LOL (always a bonus)
-
You can download "F.E.A.R In Lila's Eyes" @ www.bobbymartini.co.uk on mashups page 9.

Amy MacDonald vs Ne-Yo Mashup

Right, first off - this is not a combination that most people would think off. In fact, most people would probably be turned off at the thought of the 'Gentleman of R&B' fused with the Scotland's latest songstress(is that even a word ?) - but think again because this fusion really does work.....

-

Described by one person as my best mash since "Lullaby In Your Eyes" (although to be fair that person was my wife) this turns Ne-Yo's hit "Closer" on it's head, slows it down quite a bit and merges it with Amy's "Footballer's Wife" from her album "This Is The Life".

-

The end result is beautiful melancholy, swirling strings based ballad that may bring tears to your eyes - although no guarantee can be made of this.

-

You can find "Closer To A Footballer's Wife" on my main site @ www.bobbymartini.co.uk on mashups page 9.

-

Relax, download, listen, enjoy......and don't cry too much !!!!!

"SPOOKS" BBC1 Main Theme - Bobby's Make It Last Mix

A few months ago I remixed the theme tune to the BBC1 series "Life On Mars". It went down really well and I got a few emails from thanking me for it.
-
One of the emails asked if I had thought about remixing the theme from "Spooks" - I hadn't even heard the theme at the time but after getting hold of it, written by the excellent Jennie Muskett I knew straight away I wanted to give it a whole new sound.
-
Seeing as everyone thinks of Spys as being sexy (just look at James Bond for instance !) I wanted to give the theme a bit of a sexy twist. The result is a mash of the theme with "Make It Last" by Dave Aude and Jessica Sutta (from the Pussycat Dolls).
-
It certainly lasts a lot longer that the theme does on the programme !
-
It can be found on mashups page 9 and on the TV mashups page along with the "Life On Mars" mix and the "Alias" mix too @ www.bobbymartini.co.uk

Genesis vs Fragma "There's No Hiding Place" Mashup

Well, as promised in my last post, here is my 'comeback' mash. A fusion of Genesis and Fragma (not something you find very often I'm sure)

Featuring one of my favourite Genesis tracks, "Man On The Corner" taken from the ever superb album 'Abacab' and the 2008 version of Fragma's "Toca's Miracle", I think I have just given old Phil Collins a bit of cred...........maybe ??

"There's No Hiding Place" was featured on both Scott Johnson's Ramdomthoughts show and got it's first worldwide radio play on 17th Oct by Sim Courtie on BFBS Radio 1. Thanks to both of you for your support.

The mash can be found at the usual address - www.bobbymartini.co.uk on mashups page 9

Hoosiers vs Katy Perry - "I'm Worried I Kissed A Girl Called Ray" - Mashup

This was one of those mashups that came together quite quickly (whereas others can take weeks and even months). There are a number of Katy Perry mashups out there at the moment and some you may prefer (especially DJ Fac's which is nothing short of excellent) but try this one anyway - it won't take long - it's just under 3 mins !

Queen vs Leona Lewis - "Bleeding Ga Ga" Mashup

This is probably one of the most 'radio friendly' mashups I have ever done.

There have been many Leona Lewis mashups done in recent months and I thought it only fair to join the band wagon so here is my contribution !

Queen - "Radio GaGa" vs Leona Lewis "Bleeding Love"

Kate Bush vs Nightcrawlers - "Running Up That Feeling" Mashup

Well, this is not a combo most people would think of but I'm not most people.

Probably the greatest living UK Female artist, Kate Bush, fused with one of Scotland's most prolific song writers, John Reid aka Nightcrawlers, produces something quite sublime really.

Take Kate's "Running Up That Hill" and blend it with a couple of different versions of Nightcrawlers "Push The Feeling On" and you get "Running Up That Feeling".

This is the second mashup I have produced at my recently aquired 'Touchpad Studios', the first being "Killer Client" and I'm liking what I'm producing there.

The mash, along with all my others, is available at my main site www.bobbymartini.co.uk on mashups page 8.

The Killers vs Client Mashup - "Killer Client

I am pleased to finally announce the long awaited release of my latest mash - Killer Client.

It's a fusion of The Killers "Somebody Told Me" and Client's "Radio". If you are not familiar with Client then I hope that might change after listening to this mash.

A version of this was featured a few weeks ago on BFBS Radio 1. You can now download for free two different versions of the track - a 7" Edit and the Extended 'Hattie' Mix. I decided to do an edited version as the extended mix comes in at nearly 8 minutes although I have to say it's the better of the two but the choice is yours.

Thanks to Sim @ BFBS for the initial play. Big thanks to Simon Iddol @ APC for the world premiere this week and a mega huge thanks to 'Hattie' for introducing me to Client in the first place !

Both versions are available from my main site - HERE on mashups page 8

The Beatles vs Sunscreem - Summer of Love 2008

My good mate, Simon Iddol, has compiled another fantastic compilation album over at his WHA! Studios and I was fortunate enough to be one of the mashup producers invited along.

Summer Of Love 2008 features some classic 60's and 70's tracks mashed with some equally superb late 80's and early 90's rave choons for a mini album/EP of complete pleasure.

My track is a fusion of The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun" and Sunscreem's "Release Me".

The end result is "Here Comes The Sunscreem"

It can be found at the usual address : www.bobbymartini.co.uk on mashups page 8

"Shine Yet Suffer Well" - Depeche Mode vs Booty Luv

This mash was a real struggle for me. I wanted to do something a bit different for Scott Johnson's 100th Ramdom Thoughts show and knowing he was a huge Depeche Mode fan, I thought it quite fitting to produce a DM themed mash. I had been playing around with the Booty Luv pella for a few days but all the tracks I matched it with were all too similar. I decided to go completely out of the box with this one and mash two very different songs and genres. This mash went through about 7 different versions before I settled for this one.

I think it works and hopefully you will to. If you don't, no worries, the next mash will follow shortly !

This exquisite masterpiece can be found at the usual address www.bobbymartini.co.uk on mashups page 8.

Let me know what you think.

Bobby Martini Leaves the Pimp My Tune Team

Some of you reading this may know that I have been a member of the Mashed / Pimp My Tune team right from it's infancy way back in 2006.

I have chosen to leave Pimp My Tune. I won't go into reasons - it wouldn't be fair, but things basically didn't work out how I would have liked them too. That's just how life goes sometimes.

I wish all the remaining team success and good wishes for the future and don't forget to check out their website @ www.pimpmytune.com

Mark Ronson v Christina Aguilera Mash inc Video

Here is a little mash delight for you. The ever popular Christina Aguilera vs new(ish) boy on the block Mark Ronson.

Featuring mashup favourite "Genie In A Bottle" against the Ronson/Lily Allen duet "Oh My God" I have for your listening pleasure.....

"OH MY GOD IT'S A GENIE IN A BOTTLE"

This is also the first time I have released a mash at the same time as the video so listen to the track in all it's glory over at my main site and check out the video, produced by VJ Dano below :

Ugly Bitch Ball

This mash was almost completed ages ago but it lacked something. That 'something' was a suitable rap pella and that was supplied by my good mate Guv'nor, who also supplied the amazing cover art.

This mash features a track written by Scottish film composer Craig Armstrong entitled "The Ball", taken from the film 'Plunkett and Macleane'. It's a superb piece of music with a real techno/industrial theme (well at least I think so !! LOL)

"UGLY BITCH BALL" features Sugababes on main vocals, Busta Rhymes, Will I Am and Kelis on support and can be found @ my site on mashups page 7.

It's a little bit different and I hope you enjoy !!!

Thanks

Bobby
