The Tings Committee

I used to think Girl Talk was one of a kind... Don't get me wrong he's still the shit but he is definitely not the most innovative mash-up god walking the planet. I'm not yet sure if I can reserve that title for E-603 but he's definitely in the running along with Immuzikation, The Hood Internet, Super Mash Bros. and BEARBOT. On to the music...

I really dig the way E-603's jams flow together in a way Mr. Gillis can't match with his glitchy, ADD style. E-603 also reaches a bit more into the indielectropop genre, which is a definite plus for me. Anyone who can make Ratatat's Mirando gel with Missy Elliot's Get Your Freak On is golden in my book. This combo comes from If You Wanna from E-603's sophomore effort Torn Up. The LP is a mash-up masterpiece and features a somewhat more mature side of the mix 'n' mash aficionado than his freshman album Something for Everyone. Sampling acts such as Vanessa Carlton, City High, Eminem, Semisonic, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Justice, The Blow, Rihanna, Matt & Kim, Michael Jackson and Vampire Weekend there certainly is something for absolutely everyone in E-603's repertoire.
