DJ Food - Raiding The 20th Century

I sincerely suggest that anybody who has ever listened to any music in the last 100 years and liked any of it go and download DJ Food's Raiding The 20th Century. Destiny's Child vs Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana, Althea and Donna vs Queen, Beastie Boys vs Franz Ferdinand, The Offspring vs Prodigy, Aqua vs Sex Pistols, S-Club 7 vs KRS-One, Kylie Minogue vs New Order... In one long track, DJ Food has managed to create the ultimate mash-up, an ode to the history of bastard pop and cut-up. If the underdogs of the internet, all the illegal downloaders around the world, are seen as an underground army of sorts then this track is without a doubt their battle cry.

This is so unbelievably hilarious and so clever that it really does have to be heard to be believed. This track is a long one - it has to be to include so much music, so I didn't want to load it on to Big Static's Streamload account. The link below is downloading it from DJ Food's site, and it is also available to anybody who uses Soulseek. I'm sure most people reading this have little problem with downloading music - this is an mp3 blog after all - and you will all probably therefore understand the humour of this track. The fact that it is quite possibly the most illegal mp3 of all time just adds to it's appeal. The whole thing is giving the middle finger to copyright laws and, as it says itself, mixes songs and artists together that were simply never meant to meet. It should feel awkward and uncomfortable but it fits together in a perfect cut-up sequence that can't fail to make anybody who listens to it smile because everybody, from your gran to your baby sister, will recognise something in this mix.
