Mashed POP-tato #3

It's time for another brilliant mash-up for 'Mashed POP-tato', and as in the UK we need to make the most of the glorious weather (as I'm sure it will be gone before we know it!). For this week's featured track we are sharing a track by the legendary 2 Many DJ's from their truly amazing 2002 album 'As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt 2' which many rate as the pinnacle of mash-uppery (I know it's not a real word but I'm hoping to make it happen).
This track shows the timeless power of brilliant pop music by combining two tracks separated by decades, 1978's 'Dreadlock Holiday' by 10cc and 'Independent Women (Part 1)' a 2000 hit single for Destiny's Child. 



The glorious reggae backing of 'Dreadlock Holiday' adds a beautiful summery sheen to the flawless vocals of Destiny's Child, Beyonce is on fantastic form with her licks and runs being spot on throughout.
So, pour yourself a Margarita (or whatever is your weapon of choice) and catch some rays while you listen to this week's 'Mashed POP-tato'!
