Girl Talk is the stage name of electronic music producer Gregg Gillis. He has released three CD albums on Illegal Art and vinyl releases on 333 and 12 Apostles. He specializes in sample-based remixes where he cuts up at least a dozen elements from different songs to create a new song. His live show is known for its antics, as he is often seen jumping up and down, half naked, gyrating around his laptop^[1].
