dadahack is the new cross-continent dance-electronica outfit. The name dadahack may be new to you but the duo behind the act are by no means in-experienced – the UK’s James Banbury and Swedish based producer, Pete Davis have production credits including Blackbox Recorder, Gwen Stefani, Wiley, Talvin Singh, and Bloc Party.

The first material they are teasing out is a taste-maker EP called Hellos. A heady mix of house, nu-disco, electro and sleaze. The original track ‘Hello Dust’ features the new fashioned vocals of Hannah Robinson, which gets a sensational 11-minute gritty electro workout from Freelance Hellraiser that never tires the ears.

Freelance Hellraiser – A Stroke Of Genie-us [mp3]
Christina Aguilera VS The Strokes

Looking back at the noughties, The Guardian’s Dorian Lynskey examines how a mashup (A Stroke of Genius by Freelance Hellraiser) that never got a legitimate release prefigured all the significant pop trends of the decade.

We can’t agree more, call it as you want: bootleg, bastard pop,  cut and paste music, mashup, unofficial remixes; but the IY remix culture was the most important thing in the first decade of the new millenium. Freelance Hellraiser’s mashup is one of the shinniest diamonds of our scene, inspired many many producers to start to make mashups like this and even ater all these years it sounds fresh and brill.

Like Dorian says: – Looking back, it feels like digital music was the genie in the bottle and, now that it’s been let out, nobody can put it back in. -

Make sure to read the full article on The Guardian and turn the choon LOUD to celebrate our loved MASHUP CULTURE.

Big up to all the mashup DJ’s and producers out there, APC <3 U!!
