Pittsburgh artist Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) has meticulously created music from samples for over eight years. Gillis broke into the national scene with Night Ripper in 2006, featuring dance-able mixes from varying genres, often including dozens of audio sources in a stream of juxtaposed hooks. Rolling Stone, SPIN, Blender, Pitchfork, and Beck include Night Ripper in their best albums of 2006 lists. Gillis has played over 200 shows in the past few years, and sold out every show on his 2007 North American tour. His latest album, Feed the Animals, is the next step of his sonic evolution and best represents Girl Talk’s notorious party-infested live shows.
