Mash up the place once again with Shepdog. “Tight Ride” is Janelle Monáe‘s “Tightrope” combined with Dave Kelly‘s “Joyride” riddim. It doesn’t really improve on the original, I must say.
I like flipside “Broke & Hearted” better, which is Alicia Keys‘ “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” mixed with Al Campbell‘s classic “Take A Ride” riddim.

Two of the big mash-uppers of these times, Shepdog and Black Grass. The first lays Shaun Ryder‘s vocals off of Gorillaz‘ “Dare” over Malente‘s “Ska Wars”, the other takes the vocals of Robin S‘ “Show Me Love” and mixes it with one of his own productions.
Which is nice.

M.I.A.‘s “Paper Planes”/The Nextmen‘s “Blood & Fire” and Roots Manuva‘s “Witness”/Craig Mack‘s “Flava in Ya Ear” mashed up and reggaefied by the Shepdog, who’s just released a CD full of his and buddy Jstar‘s Cut Ups Bruck Ups & Muck Ups. Check it’s ace, most of it anyway.
