Girl Talk

[cutxpaste]

Anyone here into Girl Talk as much as I am? Greg Gillis is awesome I have been playing "Night Ripper" nonstop lately

Pittsburgh's Gregg Gillis is arguably the nation's hottest mash-up DJ; at least, he's the best-reviewed one. His albums are more like party mixes and are crammed with enough samples (both left-field and top-forty) to keep music nerds at rapt attention. It's more than just geekery, though; this guy drops serious bangers.
Girl Talk is featured prominently in "GOOD COPY BAD COPY," a documentary about the current state of copyright and culture.

Girl Talk is the stage name of music producer and mashup DJ Gregg Gillis (born October 26, 1981). Gillis, who is based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has released three CD albums on Illegal Art and vinyl releases on 333 and 12 Apostles. He began making music while a student at Case Western Reserve University. He specializes in sample-based remixes, in which he uses at least a dozen elements from different songs to create a "new" song. At his early shows, Gillis became notorious for his exhibitionist antics on stage, spontaneously removing most or all of his clothing mid-performance. He has given different explanations for the origin of his stage name, once saying it alluded to a Jim Morrison poem and once saying it alluded to an early Merzbow side project.

It was INCREDIBLE. I've never been to a show where there's so little air and so much fun. Every single person in the venue was dancing. Here are some pictures from Flickr! The show was at the Metro in Chicago.
