The flaming clipse
the bootleg/mash-up craze which started soon after the millennium was quite a delight. the scene’s advancement came somewhere from amalgamation of the sample-heavy status of much late 90’s hip-hop, alongside with advancements in technology that meant anyone with a half-decent sound card a a bit of computer wizardry could splice two songs that sounded good together … although in many cases they ended up sounding quite horrific!
most of the big-hitting “releases” of the bastard-pop scene left you unable to hear the original again without making the blend in your head - to this day, anytime i listen to the opening refrain from the stroke’s ‘hard to explain’, the ‘genie in a bottle’ lyrics start to form in the back of my mind - and soulwax’s legendary 2manydjs mix opened the floodgates for a whole lotta cubase kids to do their thing.
in the spirit of “in memory of the mashup”, here’s one of my favourite blends, a much lesser known track taking kool and the gang’s ‘jungle boogie’ and letting king of the re-up clipse talk some trash over the top.
