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)

Check out the new mashup and please vote for my other stuff at MashStix.

Bynar - Surviving On A Dream (Empire Of The Sun vs. Hybrid) (rapidshare)

Podcast Summary

A perfect combination of effervescent dance beats, driving, droning guitars, shoegaze harmonies, infectious vocals and new wave aesthetics.

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?
