French DJ/producer duo Loo & Placido tell BoingBoing:
We’ve been doing bootlegs / mash-ups for a few years now. For the last several months, we’ve been working with MTV on exclusive bootlegs for a new show called ““MTV MASH” which is broadcast all around Europe 3 times a week. We already made12 tracks for the show so far. If you want to listen to our bootlegs, check out our website, it’s still under construction, but there’s already a lot of tracks to listen to.
Link to the L&P site. The MTV out-takes you can listen to here are terrific, and if this is what ended up on the cutting room floor — the show should be amazing. I’m particularly fond of the Missy Elliot meets Green day track “get your green on,” as well as the Goldbug meets ODB number “Golden Bastard.”
Update: The mashups are smokin’, but (sorry guys) the Loo & Placido website’s obtuse, flash-based UI sucks ass. BoingBoing reader Eric reminds us that you can also link directly to the MP3s themselves. This way you can save locally and enjoy ad infinitum: Bigger than Love,, Complicated Man, Get Your Green On, Golden Bastard, Gomez Soul, Pound for Pound, Stereo Kelly.
