I'm not a huge fan of mash-ups...it was a fad generated to make a fuss over what DJing has always been about - taking incongruent sounds and making them work, extending a beat and mixing old and new, new and new, fast and slow, you get my point. That's not to say I don't appreciate a good extended mix when I hear one, and in the post z-trip era it's nice to hear some quality collaged soundwork coming out. Check Daedalus if you can, who's been a prolific producer for years and has recently come out with a really solid, all-around album, Love to Make Music To. The link will take you to a particularly bizarre story - gotta love world's fair injuries and Frankensteinian transformations in the liner notes.
My fave track is "My Beau", probably because it makes me feel better to know that one of the defining tracks of my high school 'big booty ho' days is not only appreciated by a musician i greatly respect, but that he has even remixed it with a tweaked out bassline, making it sound more aaliyah than 2 live crew. Not that there's anything wrong with some Luke, but check it:
