I know it's been ages since my last mash-up but unfortunately my time is limited at the moment - gotta finish that bloody PhD after all! Anyway, with Halloween just around the corner I sat down and made something dark and sinister in order to scare the kids away. It may not be up to Combichrist material (yet!) but it certainly isn't Lady GaGa. Think of it as ADULT. meets Black Strobe. Here are my sources:
Adam Freeland - We Want Your Soul (Acapella)
Daft Punk - Human After All
The Bloody Beetroots - Butter
Depeche Mode - Clean
Give it a listen and let me know what you think of it, will you? Last but not least, a big shout out goes to my mates Dan, Andy, Rob Dust, Bloodflower and mash-up master Dan Mei for their valuable feedback! Cheers!

It seems that I have a soft spot for Mr. Hetfield and co since is my third Metallica mashup. Instead of taking the piss again and pairing them up with more La Roux, I chose to satisfy my inner goth self. So, how do you transform Master Of Puppets into something darker and way sexier? Simply mix it with The Sisters Of Mercy, add some Nine Inch Nails' industrial noise and sprinkle it with the electro blips of Düse.
Here are the tracks I used:
Metallica - Master Of Puppets (Acapella) The Sisters Of Mercy - Lucretia My Reflection Sisters Of Mixing - New Cretia Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism (Instrumental) Düse - Nackig

* = Longer. Darker. Sexier (ie. more Hetfield vocals - as if you haven't had enough of him already)
** = No Eldritch vocals. Just Hetfield. Don't ask me why.
PS. A big shout out to master Rob Dust. Your young padawan says thank you. May the force be with you. Cheers to Christian (aka CjR Mix) and Dan Mei as well, they are both amazing mashup artists and you should check them out. CjR Mix was even told off by the Pet Shop Boys - shit happens when you get mentioned in the Guardian LOL. As for Dan, he's just finished a wicked Depeche Mode vs. Genesis mashup that you deffo have to listen.
Lately I've been feeling kind of lazy - it's summertime after all - and I'd rather go for a swim than do more mashups, hence the lack of recent updates in my blog. However, after seeing Nine Inch Nails live last week I knew I had to get back to my "studio" (ie. an old laptop and a pair of headphones) and get my hands on Mr. Reznor and Co.
So, instead of going to the beach I locked myself up in my bedroom and a couple of days later I came out with a new mashup. Genre-wise it's in the vein of my latest effort (Empire Of The Sun vs. Hybrid) with a more industrial edge. Here are the parts I used:
Nine Inch Nails - The Beginning Of The End (Instrumental) Nine Inch Nails - The Beginning Of The End (Acapella) Opus III - It's A Fine Day (Acapella) Deep Dish - Say Hello (Dylan Rhymes Acid Thunder Remix)
For votes, comments etc. head over to MashStix. Cheers!
Bynar was beamed down to planet Earth the year The Human League were formed. Growing up with the sounds of The Cure, Depeche Mode and Joy Division, he never managed to figure out whether Friends Are Electric or Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and decided to become a computer scientist, hoping to find the answer to life, universe and everything (no, it’s NOT 42!).
During his never-ending quest to get his PhD, Bynar travelled to Athens, Ediburgh, London and finally ended up in Salonica. In an ironic twist of fate he became a resident DJ at the infamous “Berlin” (i.e. the dodgiest bar in town), spinning everything from Indie Rock to Gothic, Electro and Synthpop. However, Bynar’s country did not appreciate his DJing skills and decided to draft him in the Navy, as if there weren’t enough potato peelers in this world. Unwilling to pursue a career as a swabber, Bynar resisted and kept on listening to music while on nightwatch.
Now, after a nightmarish year, he is back on the loose, ready to cause more mayhem on the dancefloors.
To prove that he never lost his hardcore, Bynar is running a music blog and a podcast, making mash-ups, writing articles for Pop+Rock magazine and hosting Indie Disco, a weekly radio show, at www.waveradio.gr (Tuesdays, 8-10 +2GMT). For DJ bookings or Guitar Hero duels, drop him an e-mail at djbynar@hotmail.com, will you?
