Mashup artists similar to Girl Talk?
June 26, 2016 3:15 PM
Looking for skilled mashup artists with a talent level similar to or better than Girl Talk.
I've just about worn out the code on my Girl Talk MP3's from overplay, and I'm looking for other similar artists. My preference is music covering a range of styles and time periods. Any recommends?

r/Mashups on "that other site" has lots of mashups - though not just the "skilled" ones. I don't know who the best artists there are, but you can browse through the "seal of approval" sections on the right.

I am a huge fan of Conrad Tao's mashup things- http://conradtao.tumblr.com/tagged/my-stuff
He makes mixes and single tracks. Some of my absolute favorites.

Bruneaux is the closest currently-active artist I can think of off hand.
Americo Gazaway mostly specializes in two-artist combinations, and might therefore not be exactly what you're looking for. He's good at the thing, though.
DJ Z-Trip and DJ P, both together and separately (though they're DJs, so (pedantic) these are blends, not mashups), were some of the pioneers of the style, and their stuff holds up very well.

My husband loves the Beastles (mashups if the Beastie Boys and the Beatles).

If you want a central clearinghouse to find new stuff on the regular, check out bootie mashups.

If you are going over to /r/mashups, look at the top where you'll see the tabs that says "Hot" (default), New, Rising, etc. Click on "Top" and you'll find the top-voted posts for that sub, which you can then filter using the "links from:" menu so you can get all-time top posts, or recent posts by month, week, day.
Or, just go directly to Top posts.

Faroff.
I'm particularly fond of their Get Back mashup of the Beatles, LCD Soundsystem, and the Kinks.

Hood Internet. Mash ups of less mainstream songs, but their song with (here) Grizzly Bear and Dead Prez is still one of my favorites.

The KLF. The genre doesn't exist without their genius.

Seconding a box and a stick and a string and a bear above - the Kid606/Violent Turd releases linked there are great. Emphasis on Mochipet's LP 'Combat': lots of mashups predicated on overlapping song/artist names alone, like Barry White vs. The White Stripes vs. White Lion. The whole thing is up on his bandcamp, along with hours and hours more.

My intro to this world was the Super Mash Bros-- maybe it's nostalgia "quality-wise"-- they're not Girl Talk-- but I still like them.
+1 to the Grey Album as something that also stands up to a few years of listening.
Also, this might be more niche, but do you know about In the G4 Over the Sea?

I called Steinski, and he said, 'if this is anyone other than Dickie Goodman,' you're stealing my bit.'
