I just listened to Night Ripper for the first time in ages. This shit was pretty huge last summer when I was in Chicago, but I haven't heard anything about him over here. What's the deal? Do people know who Girl Talk is over here? I don't think he's ever played over here.

In case you haven't heard of him, he makes records that take the mashup to the extreme, squeezing like 10 songs into one. It's fun to listen to and be like "hey, elton john! mia!", but it's even better to dance to.

Take a listen to "Smash yr head":
