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)

If you were expecting another cheesy mashup this week, you'll be disappointed - last time's Bon Jovi was a one-off LOL. Today's offering is a breaks makeover of Walking On A Dream by the over-hyped aussie duo Empire Of The Sun. I don't really know why they are so praised by the music press, but I was saying exactly the same thing about MGMT last year, so...
Anyway, here are the parts I used:
Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Acapella) Hybrid - If I Survive (Instrumental) UNKLE - Guns Blazing (Acapella)

After last week's Abuse The Dominion, I decided to leave the gloomy staff behind (not for long, mind you) and try something less gothic and more hair-metal. If cheese is your thing then, you 'll deffo dig this club-oriented Bon Jovi mash-up. It's You Give Love A Bad Name vs. Tonight by Yordis aka DJ Fonzerelli. Enjoy and don't forget to vote for my mash-ups at MashStix, OK?!
The turn of the 21st century saw a post-punk revival in British and American indie rock, which soon started appearing in many different countries as well. Bands like Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Bloc Party, Editors, The Bravery and Stellastarr* made music with recognizable post-punk influences, even accompanied by arty, almost Mod fashions copied from original post-punk and new romantic bands.
If you follow my blog, you should know by now that I'm a big fan of this kind of music, so I decided to make a special podcast featuring post-punk revival bands. I chose to leave out all the big names in order to promote new bands that are really well worth a listen. Although I've post some of these tracks in previous podcasts, there are still plenty of new tracks to explore. Enjoy!

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?
