Girl Talk and the KneeHighs
2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, Del Mar, 92014
The New York Times called punk MC Gregg Michael Gillis “a lawsuit waiting to happen” when his mash-up records and shows started to gain a following. Mash-up is several songs made by others and combined in a single track by the DJ/producer at the laptop, in this case Girl Talk, which Gillis says is “a reference to many things, products, magazines, books” — a mash-up. Girl Talk specializes in “plunderphonics,” which is a distortion of the original tracks he’s mashing, giving the listener an I-can’t-quite-place-this experience. Though his dance jams make it fun to try. You’ll hear hints of everything from Beck and Beatles to Tokyo Police Club. Girl Talk jacks in the laptop at the Del Mar racetrack’s post-race Friday freebie.
