I think it was some point soon after Diplo mixed Snoop Dogg with The Cure I lost interest in 'Mash-up' mixes; to me they just seemed to be a competition of who could combine the two most disparate tunes for the purpose of either demonstrating eclecticism, or just plain old irony. If 'mash-up mixing' was to manifest itself in human form I imagine it to appear wearing a pair of flares, a gingham shirt and a new era baseball cap whilst cycling on a fixed-gear bike through Shoreditch.
Bearing this in mind I'm not sure why I clicked on a link to 'Sigúr Ros Vs Mobb Deep' by Emancipator, but I am glad I did, and recommend you do so too because it works incredibly well, and without a trace of irony.
