Not being a big fan of the mash-up genre, I was apprehensive when

I figured out what this CD was. I still feel conflicted about it. His

main trick that separates him from acts like Girl Talk is “tearing” the

samples apart, making for a skippy, glitchy sound. This makes them

less like the pop party tunes of his contemporaries and more like

somber toned experiments with pop instrumentals, hip hop beats

and rapping. He manipulates and skips the samples so much that it

completely removes them from their original context and creates a new

atmosphere for them. This makes the songs sound much more like

a collage then those of other acts. If you like this style of music then

definitely recommended, otherwise listen to a song and you will get the

idea.
