Girl Talk

Girl Talk, the mash-up project of Gregg Michael Gillis, often gets stuck labeled as a "DJ set" when performing live, but the man is much more. Yes, his part in Wanderlust will be to get the dance floor moving late Saturday night, but he's not just picking songs to blast through speakers.
He's crafted sonic collages from popular and obscure works, which he might play, or just mix samples up live. Whatever the case, it's bound to be a fresh show everytime, with musical combinations you might not ever hear again.
For more on his recorded and amazing work, check out our review for 2008's "Don't Feed the Animals." Then read our Girl Talk story to learn why things often get crazy at his shows and what makes a good mash-up.
