DJ Paul V.: Yo Majesty vs. Depeche Mode vs. Bag Raiders vs. Dirty South

djpaulv DJ Paul V.: Yo Majesty vs. Depeche Mode vs. Bag Raiders vs. Dirty South

DJ Paul V. is kind of an authority on mash-ups. What makes him an authority? Perhaps because he does a little mash-up heavy program for (arguably the coolest radio station in the world) Indie 103.1 in Los Angeles. The show is The Smash Mix! airing every Friday afternoon at 5:30 and, alternatively, downloadable over the internet by visiting the site (as well as streamable from the Indie 103.1 Smash Mix page). Always something fun going on over there!

Paul V. sent us this mash-up which he is particularly proud of, and works very well. It’s a blend of Yo Majesty’s ‘Club Action’, as remixed by Bag Raiders (which also uses some of Enya’s ‘Orinoco Flow [Sail Away]‘) smashed with Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ as remixed by Dirty South.

Sounds great, although I must admit when the Enya part finally drops it’s a little abrupt in contrast with all the, ‘fuck that shit, nigga!’. But we love abrupt, that’s why we like love ‘fuck that shit’ chorus in the first place!:

Before we move on, give a listen to the building blocks of the track above:


MP3: Yo Majesty - Club Action (Chris Bagraiders Sailing to Baltimore Edit)


MP3: Depeche Mode - Just Can’t Get Enough (Dirty South Remix)

Now, here’s another one of his most recent mashes, which takes Lil’ Mama’s ‘Lip Gloss’ and glazes it over the classic tune, ‘Tequila’ by The Champs (a listen will likely bring up fond memories of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure):

DJ Paul V. also does the Neon Noise radio show on Indie 103.1 every Saturday night (midnight-3am); It’s a mix of all sorts of tracks you’d probably love, check program’s page on Indie’s site here and know that you can stream the show live from the website!

Paul V. doesn’t quit there, he is also a regular at the monthly mash-up party, Bootie LA, as well as the resident DJ of L.A.’s longest-running underground dance club, Dragstrip 66. And, lastly, of course, he has a MySpace.

Portishead_ATP_flyer The return of Portishead

No more rumors, here is something substantial!

As reported by Portishead’s website:

Portishead are to be the next curators and will be performing exclusively at All Tomorrow’s Parties, Nightmare Before Christmas in December 2007.

They will be playing their first full live set featuring new material in nearly 10 years at the event which is set for December 7, 8 & 9 at Butlins Holiday Camp at Minehead.

“We have always loved the All Tomorrow’s Parties set up and we’re happy our first shows will be there. It’s great to have the opportunity to introduce bands we love or have influenced us. We’ve chosen a diverse collection of artists to play with us and we’re really looking forward to it”

Details of the line up will be announced here and at the All Tomorrow’s Parties site www.atpfestival.com

Wow. I wish I was living in England right about now (or about December, rather)! Portishead is about as epic as it gets for us.

Here’s some Portishead stuff (including remixes and Geoff Barrow / Beth Gibbons side projects) to celebrate their return to form:


MP3: Depeche Mode - In Your Room (The Jeep Rock Mix) (Portishead remixed, 1993)


MP3: Portishead - Wandering Star (1994)


MP3: Portishead - Glory Box (Mudflap Mix) (1997)


MP3: Portishead - Cowboys (Instrumental) (1997)


MP3: The Baby Namboos - ancoats2zambia (Geoff Barrow Remix) (1999)


MP3: Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Tom the Model (2002)


MP3: Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Funny Time of Year (2002)

…and that’s enough. You want more, check Amazon or your fav. spot and I’m sure they got you.

If you want to see some recent Portishead video, check this YouTube vid for what appears to be an small and impromptu February 2007 performance in Bristol, UK.

Portishead have a MySpace and are in the process of redoing their website (click the P’s).
