Pittsburgh DJ Gregg Gillis may not have invented the art of the mash-up, but few would deny that he’s perfected it. His recordings may exist in a legal grey area, but there’s no doubt about the awesomeness of his performances. Creating music with nothing but a laptop covered in shrinkwrap (to protect it from sweat), Girl Talk’s live sets are explosions of dance-floor passion. The stage is a mob scene as dancers surround and overshadow the man providing the soundtrack. Venues full of thousands of people move as one and glory in the perfectly off-kilter juxtapositions of Black Sabbath and Ludacris, Faith No More and Busta Rhymes, and so many more. Girl Talk will be performing during the RVA Music Fest on Stage One at the Main Event on Sunday September 11.
