Frenchbloke - Frenchbloke Goes Pop!

Around 2001, I couldn't get enough of the bootleg/mashups which were doing the rounds. A few classics in amongst what quickly became a very stagnant scene (I don't ever want to hear anything using Missy Elliot or Eminem again). The 'finger on the pulse' blog at the time was the now defunct boomselection, which released a triple mp3 CD featuring 30 hours of bootlegs (about 29 hours too many for any sane human being). Classic tracks included the legendary 'Stroke Of Genius' by Freelance Hellraiser and Richard X's various bits'n'bobs. The Scottish contingent was represented by Frenchbloke and McSleazy.

Frenchbloke's come out of retirement to do a new mix featuring electro-pop with a large bit of cheese thrown in, that sometimes veers into 'camp-as-a-row-of-pink-tents' territory (tracklisting here), as an exclusive for Acid Ted, to raise money for charidee. I listened to it twice today, and it's certainly worth a few quid of your cash. A wee donation to a good cause, and the download link is yours. Go check out the tracklisting - the mixing's great, and he even shows you how he did it...
