1. G3RSt - Everlink [MP3]
2. Oki - Is There Anybody Hurt There? [Fairtilizer]
3. Copycat - The Other Wedding Song [Soundcloud]

- Roni Size - Snapshot
- Angelo Badalamenti - Night Streets
- Angelo Badalamenti - Lumberton U.S.A.

It’s almost a year now since the release of Mashed in Plastic - the David Lynch mashup album - and it’s taken me the full 12 months to put together videos for every one of the 18 tracks on the compilation. This ferocious, expletive-fuelled video is the last of them but it’s not the end of the story. There’s still more to be seen, so stay tuned.

RE:boots September - The best mashups of 2009

Wow, what a month. With the summer more or less over, it seems many producers are heading back into the studio full of fresh ideas. The range and diversity of top-class mashups has made choosing this month’s top 10 really difficult but finally, here’s my pick of the mashups and albums that have most impressed me this September.

1. Phil RetroSpector - Introversion (album) [ZIP]
2. Dunproofin’ - Pjanoo Dance [MP3]
3. Flying White Dots - When Smokey Sings Again [MP3]
4. Aggro1 - Smells Like Teen Spirit v Amalgam [Fairtilizer]
5. Oki - Up in the Cotton Club [Fairtilizer]
6. Michmash - Ne Le Dis à Personne [MP3]
7. Voicedude - Strange Diggity [Fairtilizer]
8. DJ Schmolli - Complicated Sex on Fire [MP3]
9. DJ Morgoth - Du Hast Mich Again [MP3]
10. Colorebel - If This Girl Were Mine [DivShare]

ToToM - I’ve Told Every Little Pumpkin
- Linda Scott - I’ve Told Every Little Star
- Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive is one of my favourite films, so it was a real pleasure to put together a video for ToToM’s mashup from the Mashed in Plastic album.

The Reborn Identity - Bulletproof Monkeys
- La Roux - Bulletproof
- Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks

This bootleg might never have seen the light of day - I had more or less abandoned it a few weeks ago - but when Simon Iddol put the call out for Bulletproof mashups for an APC Guilty Pleasures compilation, that gave me the final push I needed to get it finished.
