Girl Talk - All Day
A digitalized Dagwood discotheque where classic rock, R&B, and new wave craziness mingles with hip-hop, synthetic-pop and Top Forty one-hit wonders, Pittsburgh DJ and mash-up master Gregg Gillis’ latest winning surgical synergy, All Day, sandwiches hooks, beats, and soaring choruses. In doing so, they create a cluttered cultural confluence that reflects post-millennial overload onto savvy ADD fantasies. These translate the glittering litter of action-packed nostalgia into instantly irresistible dance floor fodder. Decades are compressed and trends are second-guessed as conscripted riffs jump through hoops of loops. All the while, sorted styles get recast and rewired. Available as a free download on his label’s site, which also includes a jaw-dropping list of the artists Gillis sliced and diced, Girl Talk mixes and mashes his hyperbolic magic March 7th at Madison’s Orpheum Theater.
