I AM NOT A DJ

Gregg Gillis has taken sampling to the next level and transformed it into a new art form that is GIRL TALK. Forget the cheesy MTV mash-ups, yeah sure mixing up Gwen Stefani with Britney Spears is fun, but who could be arsed listening to it more than once? I guess this is what former biomedical engineer Greg Gillis thought as well. Instead of just mixing two tracks, he loops samples creating a dense sound that airs SEX. Who ever thought that mixing up Pixes, Blur, 50 Cent, Sir-Mix-A-Lot, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Mariah Carey, The Verve, Outkast, Eminem and Neutral Milk Hotel would turn into something great?

His performance at Scala last night exceeded all expectations. Kicking off with Pimp C lyrics "Sweet jones, by bitch a choosey lover, never fuck without a rubber /never in the sheets, like it on top of the cover" which made people dance around like their shoes didn't fit. I guess the best way to describe it (from a European point of view) is by comparing it to an American High School party with all the right ingredients, awesome tunes, hawt girls and drunk people. If that doesn't make sense just check out these clips:






Anyone who wonders how he gets away with sampling all these artists without paying for the copyright should watch Good Copy / Bad Copy.
