The buzz at the office today is Girl Talk. No, not discussion on boys, hair, and fashion - but rather mashup DJ Gregg Gillis and his recent release entitled Feed the Animals. It's truly a sundry mix of all you love and hate in hip hop and rock, giving it a newly balanced flavor that cannot be resisted. The brilliant thing about Girl Talk and other mash-up turntablists is that the music encapsulates the collectively diverse taste of our generation today. Back in the 90's music was dominated by the rise of rap and hip-hop which is in stark contrast to now, where pop, hip-hop, rock, reggae, house and other genres share equal ranks on the music charts. Club DJs probably have much to do with the crossovers, however. Can't wait to see how much more creative they get.
