Girl Talk - Night Ripper

The ultimate mixtape with more than 150 samples. “Soundtrack of the summer” as Pitchfork calls it. Album has already sold in excess of 20,000 in the US. Think ‘2ManyDJs’ gone US. Samples everything from Phil Collins to 50 Cent to The Pharcyde - Elton John – Biggie and beyond. Playing all indie festivals in the US (Coachella, Pitchfork et al), plus opened as support act for Beck.  Current remix work being done for Peter, Bjorn & John, Grizzly Bear and Simian Mobile Disco. “Pittsburgh native Greg Gillis (Girl Talk) absolutely detonates the notions of mash-up on his album, the violently joyous Night Ripper. Rather than squeeze two songs into a small box, Gillis crams six or eight or 14 or 20 songs into frenetic rows, slicing fragments off 1980s pop, Dirty South rap, booty bass, and grunge, among countless other genre: a hulking hyper-mix designed to make you dance, wear out predictable ideas, and defy hopeless record-reviewing.
