I love mash-ups, and in my opinion, no one does them better than FAROFF. The greatest thing about his mash-ups is that he doesn't rely on generic, indistinguishable club songs; instead, he builds his songs out of classics by the likes of the Beatles, the Doors and the Ramones, danceable contemporary artists such as LCD Soundsystem, Gwen Stefani and Fatboy Slim and old-school hip-hop artists and one-hit wonders like Elastica and Dee-Lite.All of FAROFF's mash-ups are available for high-quality download (between 256 and 320 kbps) on his official website djfaroff.com. Linked below is a smattering of my favourite FAROFF mixes:
The Beatles vs. LCD Soundsystem vs. The Kinks - "The Brits Are Playing at My House"
B-52s vs. Lipps, Inc. vs. Patrick Hernandez vs. Yello vs. Soulwax - "Funky Shack!"
Franz Ferdinand vs. Stealers Wheel vs. Nirvana vs. Michael Jackson vs. Def Cut vs. C.S.S. - "Franz Tranz"
Britney Spears vs. Metallica - "Enter Toxman" (for Smashlie, if she reads this)
Nirvana vs. Dead Or Alive - "Spins Like Teen Spirit"
So...he's like a better, classier version of Girl Talk?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about classier, but definitely funner. I can actually tell FAROFF's mixes apart.
