I’ve been a fan of the French artist DJ Zebra for some time now, and was pleasantly surprised to get news that he’s been working on an exhaustive mashup compilation — the central theme being Woodstock festival (with a lot of original audio). What makes the whole thing so special is the refreshingly contemporary appeal of the whole project. From an intro by Country Joe Mc Donald that morphs into a chanting beat with Big Soul, Pink and Michael Jackson running through it (F*&k the Hippies) to a culmination with Jimi Hendrix jamming out on the guitar as the Beastie Boys in what is the obvious outlier to the whole set.

Check out their video for “When I Grow Up”:

This song always comes on Pig Radio, and I love it.

After the jump for their 2009 tour dates!
