The Evolution Control Committee presents The Wheel Of Mashup   The Evolution Control Committee
Spin the wheel, make a mashup! The Evolution Control Committee wasn't content to merely get credit for making the first mashup in 1993 – they've been cutting and pasting their way through music ever since. Now, you can too! Come to our show and spin the Wheel of Mashup – two wheels actually; one lands on the music, one on the vocals. The two are mashed up on the spot thanks to The ECC's Vidimasher 3000, a video control screen hacked from Nintendo Wii controllers. Faster than a DJ, cooler than a laptop show, this is the short-attention span dance party you've been waiting for!
