The Download
Bastard pop has become an international phenomenon over the past few years, and inexpensive, easy-to-use software has given anyone with a computer the ability to become a mash-up producer. Based in the Netherlands, Mashculture offers a stag- gering archive of some of the most bizarre blends and remixes from across the globe. The Silence Experiment’s Q-Unit album stitches together 50 Cent and Queen; Totom’s Bastard Pet Sounds mixes the Beach Boys with artists such as Stevie Wonder, the Dandy Warhols and Radiohead. With hundreds of free downloads, Mashculture will make you sick of mainstream radio all over again. — Andy Vihstadt
