After getting a taste of Lady Stardust last Monday, we couldn’t wait to hear the full album when it was released on Friday. Now that it’s finally here, we can tell you that Terry Urban is back with another expert mash-up, one that does justice to the original music of both Lady Gaga and David Bowie. With the help of guest producers Apple Juice Kid, 6th Sense, Double O, and nVMe, along with vocal contributors Freebass 808, OnCue and Colby O’Donnis, Terry Urban brings a refreshing take on the phrase “old meets new”.

“Love Under Pressure”, produced by Apple Juice Kid and 6th Sense, is a great example of how well the two artists combine. While I wouldn’t dare say that the remix surpasses Bowie’s original “Under Pressure”, it does give Gaga’s “Love Game” a chiller, more sophisticated vibe. The Double O-produced “Papparazzi People” is another standout track, adds a more danceable beat to Lady Gaga’s “Papparazi” and David Bowie’s “Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)”

The mixtape also weaves a few interludes with quotes from both artists, as well as Christopher Walken’s hilarious take on “Poker Face”. Remixes of all of the songs are also included in the mixtape, which you can download for free here.

Listen to “Love Under Pressure” below, and be sure to come by the release party on Tuesday night at Le Poisson Rouge. Click here to RSVP, details after the jump.

Mixtape impresarios Mick Boogie and Terry Urban are back with their latest project, this time crossing The Noisettes with Kanye West to create Wild Young Heartbreaks. Kanye’s notorious auto-tune album couldn’t be more different from The Noisettes’ lead singer Shingai’s definitively classic vocals, but they somehow make for a harmonious combination.

Many of the artists and producers who worked on Re-Living Thing, including 6th Sense, nVMe, Apple Juice Kid and Christian Rich, were happy to contribute to the new project. Double-0 from Kidz in the Hall also put his touch on the mixtape with the track “Cheap Cops” (The Noisettes’ “Cheap Kicks” with Kanye West’s “Robocop”).

Download Wild Young Heartbreaks here, and check back soon for info about the mixtape release event.

Hot on the heels of Re-Living Thing, Mick Boogie is at it again, collaborating once again with Terry Urban to create The Noisettes vs. Kanye West. The project fuses vocals from The Noisettes’ latest release, Wild Young Hearts, with samples from Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak, playing on the common theme of “heart” in the titles. The Noisettes’ old-fashioned vocals paired with Kanye West’s ultra-modern vocoder makes for an interesting combination. “Upset Lockdown”, which hit the internet last week, definitely piqued our interest; the song features live drumming by Apple Juice Kid and is produced by 6th Sense.

You can catch Mick Boogie tonight when we celebrate the release of Re-Living Thing. Also, be sure to pick up The Noisettes’ Wild Young Hearts, out today.
