How appropriate, the day that Chicago's supreme mash-up duo has a record release party is the same day Gregg Gillis decided to drop the new Girl Talk album, Feed The Animals. For free. (Or pay what you can.) It's largely the same set of tunes he used to whip the crowd into a frenzy at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival, so there are no real surprises, but it is a supremely solid piece of work. Our personal favorite "what the heck?!" sample moment occurs early on when Aphex Twin pops up in "Shut The Club Down."
Come to think of it, considering the number of sample-clearance lawsuits sure to follow this high profile release, make sure you donate at least a little something to Gillis for his troubles.

That guy never, ever changes his pre recorded set. GT FTL
It's not pre-recorded, it's mixed live using a very rudimentary audio program. And it's also different every time. I've seen him many times in the past year, and he never plays the same set twice. Sorry Matty.
What JSYK said. He has the 12000 little samples and beats and bits and pieces that he's made (last I heard, he used Adobe Audition/Cool Edit Pro for this), and when he performs, he uses Audiomulch (which Four Tet uses for a lot of things) to put them together on the spot. It's never exactly the same, though he will sometimes recreate certain bits of his records on the spot. Eg: "Bounce That" and the Elton John/Notorious BIG thing both tend to show up much like they are on record.
But, yeah. His live shit's not pre-recorded.
Matty loses for a) being completely wrong and b) using the 'FTL' meme, yet again.
The album is a lot of fun and perfect for upcoming summer parties.
