Go Home Productions / Mark Vidler. Mark Vidler is the best "mash-up" artist I'm know of. Brilliant collisions of pop tunes. His "Ray of Gob" mash-up of Madonna and the Sex Pistols may never be matched for its ability to make me grin. "The Bootles Beatleg Part 1" is pure genius. Lots of stuff to download and he changes content pretty often.
