Car Stereo (Wars)

Austin, Texas-based mash-up DJ Chris Rose performs as Car Stereo (Wars) throughout the city’s trendiest dance spots, where he delivers a pop culture buffet by pulling together interesting, high-energy song combinations that keep the hipsters on their feet. As the Austin American-Statesman described him, “Car Stereo (Wars) is Austin’s one-man Big Bang, building up and breaking down multi-verses with ease.” Drawing inspiration from mash-up maestros like Girl Talk, his full-length album, 2007’s The Bandit, is the perfect party-starter — better than anything your iPod shuffle can dish out on its own.
