Girl Talk
Girl Talk is the stage name of music producer and mashup DJ Gregg Gillis. Gillis, who is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has released three CD albums on Illegal Art and vinyl releases on 333 and 12 Apostles. He began making music while a student at Case Western Reserve University. He specializes in sample-based remixes, in which he uses at least a dozen elements from different songs to create a “new” song. At his early shows, Gillis became notorious for his exhibitionist antics on stage, spontaneously removing most or all of his clothing mid-performance. Girl Talk was featured in Good Copy Bad Copy, a documentary film about remix culture.
