Capitalizing on an old idea by Coldcut, Pennsylvania-based laptop musician Gregg Gillis, disguised under the moniker Girl Talk, offered hyperkinetic and hyperdemented "plunderphonics" for the dancefloor (in other words, infectious dance music created from snippets old pop hits) on a series of albums starting with Secret Diary (2002) and peaking with Night Ripper (2006).
Freud's free-association technique applied to a turntable.
Feed the Animals (2008) used more than 300 song snippets, and the
juxtapositions were even wilder, with, for example, Nine Inch Nails pasted next to Yo La Tengo next to Beyonce (Like This).
Solex and many other artists had done this before
(and probably a lot better) but Gillis was the one who turned it into a new genre.
