Instamatic's Greatest Misses : a restrospective (and a few DjNoNo rarities too)

[fingertrouble]

(reposted from my Instamatic Artist blog)

A lot of my old boots/mashups haven't been online for years - most people don't know I've created something like 50+ mashups as Instamatic since 2003, more as DJNoNo and as tbc and various aliases...there have been quite a few mashups 'retrospectives' recently, and the odd request to find various tracks so here is my Greatest Misses...tracks that fell down the cracks!

Also a few tracks such as the Jump megamix (Jump x2 and Renegade Trouble) and the Too Many Egos haven't been properly released before.

Also includes my first released mashup - FSOL vs Peaches, and the first DJNoNo boot, so you can see how far little I've developed...I did think 'shall I redo some of these?' or fix some of the mistakes I can hear now - I thought not since I hate that when say bands re-release 'tweaked' or 'improved' versions of old songs. Publish and be damned!

Thanks to RevMenagerie who requested my Negativland / String Quartet mashup...

NOTE: Some of these tunes are severely NSFW - especially FCUKK Fashion...

1. The Future Sound of Peaches (FSOL vs Peaches)
2. Missy Wants A White Horse (Missy vs Laidback and jacky - one of my personal faves)
3. Fragile Tomorrow (Kings of Tomorrow vs Cleo)
4. FCUKK Fashion (Prodigy vs Bowie and DJ Yoeri) (as Instore - with the Kate Moss situation strangely topical now!)

7. Blancmange Milkshake (Kelis vs Blancmange)

10. Altogether Let it Be Me (An excercise in combining songs inspired by Pachelbel's Canon - Nancy Sinatra vs The Farm)
11. Radio 4Play (Shannon vs Radio4) - I got kind of obsessed by Shannon's 'Let the Music Play', and then Kelis's Milkshake...shows huh?

13. Infidel Milkshake Party (Wyclef & Missy vs Kelis)
14. Work it Tiger (Le Tigre vs Masters at Work)

16. Shannon's Knuckles (Shannon vs Rankie Knuckles)
17. Madison Heartbreak (Maisonettes vs Madison Avenue)
18. Brightside Slippy (never totally finished since I was afflicted by a sudden inexplicable hatred of the Killers)

20. Jump minimix - Ludakriss / Jumpx2/ Renegade Trouble - first time online! (Made for Uprising 3.5, also played in part at Bastard -
    Kid Carpet / Ludacris vs Kriss Kross / House of Pain vs Kriss Kross / Wildchild vs Beasties)

and from the DJNoNo canon, a few rarities:

1. I Love Happy Hardcore (Fuck Happy) - first DJNoNo boot, done for a Happy Hardcore competition where mrNo shows how much he likes Happy Hardcore...
2. Too Many Egos - full version (various based on the odd acapella version of EgoRocker and a pisstake of several Ego-Rocker boots - a short 70s version that eventually appeared on Marty Batfreak's 100 mix)
3. Em is a Naggin Fly (Crossover vs Eminem vs Roy Orbison - pisstake of Eminem boots and mrNo trying to prove Bush No.10 wrong when he said Eminem boots now didn't work. Did thaNo succeed? Erm, pass...)
