2010 “Mashup the Fountain Mix” at Seattle Center July 24 - 25th, 2010

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

OK, now the secret of what is playing in the fountain this weekend can be revealed!
It’s the annual “Mashup the Fountain” mix in which I feature cool mashups, clever covers, and fine remixes.

Keep in mind this plays when the “big show” music isn’t going.  Big shows have the big shots of water in them and play at the top of the hour and half hour.

With this sort of thing it’s hard to decide who to list as performers so I decided to break it down into the artists who created the track and then the artists that are being spliced/covered:

Artist making the tracks:

Prodigy, Baba James, Faroff, John King, 8 Bit Ninjas, Pomplemousse, Section Quartet, Loo & Placido, Thievery Corporation, Kleptones, Taha & Khaled & Faudel, Phillip Steir & Ramin Sakurai, Aber N Stein, La Funk Mobb, Mocean Worker, Apolyptica.

Artist being remixed/mashed and or covered:

DST, JVC Force, Primal Scream, Beastie Boys, Barry White, Public Enemy, The JBs, T-La Rock, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, Herb Alpert, Salt N Pepa, Beyoncé, Muse, Black Eyed Peas, Ludacris, Kelis, Astrud Gilberto, Cypress Hill, Daft Punk, Rare Earth, Boston, Frank Sinatra, Devo, Booker T. & the MGs, Spinal Tap, Salif Keita, Fugazi, Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, Metallica, West Street Mob, Hijack, Renegade Soundwave, The Beginning of the End, The Jimmy Castor Bunch.

So many clever tracks in this mix, since I can’t share them all here is one with a great video:
