In fact, he was an in-betweener DJ at the <strong>Mad Decent<\/strong> party providing the crowd with some insane mixing after <strong>Ellipant<\/strong> and a surprise appearance by <strong>Porter Robinson<\/strong>. Nevertheless, he was one of those talents that really left an impression on me and I instantly became a fan after hearing what this kid could do with records from the 90s. <\/p>\n<p>If you dropped <strong>Craig David<\/strong>, <strong>The Spice Girls <\/strong>and even <strong>Daniel Bedingfield<\/strong> into a mix today, you still might get a &#8220;oh really now&#8221; glance from a few people. But <strong>Trippy Turtle<\/strong> truly knows how to really work these 90s classics and manages to squeeze out that last drop of crazy cool from these dancefloor staples that sends his millennial audience into a frenzy &#8211; head-banging like hard rockers. Trippy Turtle doesn&#8217;t stop there either &#8211; he&#8217;ll hit you with things like <strong>&#8216;Poison&#8217;<\/strong> by <strong>Bel Biv Devoe<\/strong> and <strong>&#8216;Seniorita&#8217;<\/strong> by <strong>Justin Timberlake<\/strong> and suddently you&#8217;re mopping up your own glitter brains from floor. <\/p>\n<p>Can you tell I was blown away? <\/p>\n<p>You can listen to some of these incredible mixes right now over on <strong>Trippy Turtle&#8217;s <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/trippy-turtle\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Soundcloud<\/strong><\/a> page. I think you&#8217;ll find that his unique child-like spin on 90s records mixed for his love of <strong>Ninja Turtles<\/strong> and <strong>Super Mario Bros<\/strong> really sets him apart from other DJs.<\/p>\n<p>I for one can&#8217;t wait to see him live again. <\/p>\n<p>Dude even has his own theme song&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/trippys-theme-single\/id892558654?uo=4&#038;at=10l7e7\" target=\"itunes_store\" style=\"display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;background:url(https:\/\/linkmaker.itunes.apple.com\/htmlResources\/assets\/en_us\/\/images\/web\/linkmaker\/badge_itunes-lrg.png) no-repeat;width:110px;height:40px;@media only screen{background-image:url(https:\/\/linkmaker.itunes.apple.com\/htmlResources\/assets\/en_us\/\/images\/web\/linkmaker\/badge_itunes-lrg.svg);}\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4PweEtDSqUs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trippy Turtle is a DJ that wasn&#8217;t on my to-see list at SXSW.
