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 ......

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street EP

This EP featuring 4 all new Peter Gabriel Mashups has been a long time in the making and a lot of hard work to get it just how I wanted it. It's my first EP but I am over the moon with it and I hope you will be too.

You can find it at the usual address : http://www.bobbymartini.co.uk/ or direct page link : Mercy Street EP

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



Enjoy

Just My 'Random Thoughts'

Those of you not familiar with Scott Johnson's weekly podcast, "Ramdomthoughts", might want to pay a visit to his site and download show number 77. In a break from the norm, Scott has decided to take a well earned break for a week and let a guest presenter take the helm - and what a great job that guest presenter has done - LOL.

Now it would be telling if I were to give away who this person is. Just head to the site, download the show and enjoy. Tell Scott Bobby sent ya !!!!

Depeche Mode Squared

Well, I'm back !!!!

This mashup of Depeche Mode's "Precious" and "World In My Eyes" was an exclusive to Scott Johnson's Ramdomthoughts. I wasn't planning to release it but popular demand (yes, that's right, popular demand) has forced my hand.

So here is..........World In My Precious Eyes



Its available @ my main site : http://www.bobbymartini.co.uk/ on mashups page 6
