   Happy Milkshake

   Kelis's "Milkshake" vocal over Max Sedgley's "Happy" (all of it). This was done at Neil (who I used to DJ with)'s suggestion and hopefully he's not too upset by the re-arrangement. He used to play it live off of vinyl, but I've rejigged it a bit...This _could_ be the last 2tracks track, as I'vea)...

   Turn Tha Diamonds Out

   Kanye West's "Diamonds" vs Biz Markie's "Turn Tha Party Out". 2 posts in 2 days - WOO! OK, so the Tipsy one wasn't great on account of me being kinda tipsy when I did it but you get the general idea.This one I did originally when we were doing the (short-lived) Hi Karate Podcasts (there were 2!).…

   Tipsy Treason

   HIYA!This is J-Kwon's "Tipsy" vocal over Raw Deal's "High Treason". think it's fair to say i got a BIT bored of this whole blog thing so it's been a minute, BUT it's had the desired effect IN THAT I've started a whole bunch of original (well maybe "original") tracks.The music on this one - Neil...

   Finest Things That Dreams Are Made Of

   Human League's "Things That Dreams Are Made Of" (off of the instrumental "League Unlimited Orchestra" album) with the vocal from "The Finest" by SOS Band.I can't really claim this one as it wasn't my idea. Let me explain....Back when bootlegs were All The Rage, a producer called Richard X became...

   Learn to be Crazy in Love

   Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" vocal over Cappo's "Learn to be Strong"... This was really a way to extend the life of "Crazy in Love", which I thought was massive as soon as I heard it. It was another Rich Harrison production but you knew that sooner or later it was going to be all over everywhere and...

   Deep Pin Up Girls

   This is (as I know it) the vocal from Awesome 3's "Pin Up Girls" chopped up over Pepe Bradock's "Deep Burnt". Lots of confusion here...I first heard Deep Burnt on the office jukebox, like some other tracks here, and it didn't take me long to realise that the hook, as well as sounding a bit like...

   We Come Strange

   This is the vocal from Faithless's "We Come One" chopped up over Zomby's "Strange Fruit"... I can only apologise for the gap due to hols and broken software, but I'm back!I first heard Zomby off of the Modeselektor mix I mentioned before. It was this track, but I soon found some other stuff and...

   Sminky Pinky (Disco Lesson)

   This is the big one! I'm a huge fan of cut-ups, Double Dee and Steinski and the whole (unofficial) lessons series being the best examples. Like the others, there's a story to tell...I read an article, I guess in 1999 or so, in ID or The Face or somewhere like that, with The Psychonauts. They…

   Amerie Wars

   The vocal from 1 Thing by Amerie over (mainly) Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) from The Empire Strikes Back. Surely the crappest Star Wars film, but best piece of music. Anyhoo, this unlikely pairing came about simply because The Phantom Menace came out round about the same time that the...

    Triple Trouble: Old School Remix

    Have to be upfront here - I fucking love this one. It's not just a bootleg like the others, it's a Proper Remix... I used to play it out off a CD but it's now published here for the first time!I loved the little resurgence the Beasties seemed to have around the time of this and Ch-Check It Out...

    Jazzy Way: Live mix

    Another straightforward one (there are more interesting things coming honest). Scratchmaster Chuck T's Jazzy Way acapella over a couple of bits of the live version of Grover Washington Jnr’s Mr Magic.The track with the vocal here isn’t particularly awesome - I came across it on the back of the...

    Dub Be Good To Me In Da Club

    A super-simple one now... The acapella of Beats International's Dub Be Good To Me over the instrumental of 50 Cent's In Da Club. I'm not sure what's up with the version in the video here - maybe US? The one that was a hit in the UK was more reggae...Though I liked Dub Be Good To Me about as much…

    Show Me Missed Calls

    First up is the acapella of Show Me Love by Robin S over Missed Calls by TRG. I loved the TRG track when I first heard it in a Modeselektor mix given to me by a colleague, who subsequently downloaded the track on its own and gave me a copy.I'm not sure why or when, but at some point I started to...
