Monster Mash-Up
Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover" sped up over a classic house beat? Sure, maybe you hate this song, but somehow it works far better when it's combined with or layered over that song. That's how the continuing appeal of "mash-up" mixing works, and it's how local DJ duo Flosstradamus have been earning their credibilty of late. Their monthly shows at the Town Hall Pub have become notoriously difficult to get into if you don't arrive early.
Friday night, Flosstradamus will be playing at Sonotheque as part of an event sponsored by Fader magazine. Also on the bill is a set from mash-up compadre, mixmaster mp3 blogger, and Fader editor DJ Nick Catchdubs. No advance tickets, cover is only $5, and -- in keeping with the duo's regular gigs around town -- the dancefloor is going to stay packed and busy.
