This mix, named after a Bill Hicks bit, is the most mashup-heavy mix I’ve ever made. For a few moments around the 7 minute mark there are four tracks playing simultaneously in this July 2007 release. Several other mashups make an appearance. Eventually I’ll put together a complete mashup discography release.

There are some fairly obscure references in these tunes. Super accurate recreations of the soundtrack from The Mysterious Cities of Gold make multiple appearances. I also used Timbaland’s ripoff of a demoscene track he made for Nelly Furtado while giving credit to the composer and SID translator (“Tempest and GRG with Nelly Furtado”).

Finally, where else have you heard The Four Seasons sound so dope?

After an introduction by everyone’s favorite integrative medicine guru, Dr. Andrew Weil, this mix starts out with a weirdly perfect pairing of Mike & Rich with Datassette. Somehow these two are perfectly in tune, and the effect is a strikingly smooth blend. This mix reminds me of the rainy days that frequently occurred as I mixed this during the spring of 2006. The title is a reference to one of my favorite movies: War Games. The final track is a reminder from Willie Nelson to think about the big picture whenever war is on the table.

At some point I decided to retire the Terrahertz moniker in favor of a fresh start. “DJ Chase The Devil” was one of the names I picked as a replacement, a reference to a classic Reggae tune sung by Max Romeo and backed by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s band The Upsetters. When I made and released this in 2005, the emo scene (which I was already too old for) had blown up, and the cover art was inspired by this meme-ish picture of a girl “dancing.” Musically, the mix is kind of all over the place, I think in a good way.
