spazmatic mashups and mixes

Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells + Album Leaf + The Carpenters

June 05th, 2007 | Category: 00's, 60's, electronic, indie, mashups, pop

Vintage Marvin Gaye combined with hipster favorite The Album Leaf, transforms a rhythm & blues duet into an indie-tronic ballad.
I also added a lil bit of Carpenters for spacey background vocals. definitely the most mellow mashup I’ve even done..

Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells - What’s The Matter With You Baby
The Album Leaf - Broken Arrow
The Carpenters - Sing


quite a favorable review from the fine folks over at Pitchfork
I even got an email from Jimmy LaValle saying he really digs this mix

    Somehow missed this - this is movingly beautiful, and jumped to one of my favourites of last year!

    una rola muy chida!! escuche la version original y no me gustó tanto pero escuche la version de dj lobster y realmente fue como ir a otro mundo, gran trabajo! (a really great song!! i listened the original version and i didn`t like it so much but i listened djlobster’s version and it was really cool it took me to other dimension, well done!!)

    Downloaded this mix over a year ago and I still absolutely adore it, most played on my itunes by a long way. The best mashup around, amazing work. please follow this up with more like this!
