Cookin' Soul

Cookin' Soul is a Spanish producer-DJs duo[1] known separately as Big Size and Zock.[2] Producing work since around 2005, the two have developed a strong presence in the mixtape circuit in the US, according to El País.[2]

Critical response

UK tabloid The Sun characterized their 2008 "OJayZis" project - a mashup of Jay-Z and Oasis - as "rubbish",[3] but The Guardian gave the project a more mixed review, indicating that "some of the mash-ups work magnificently...but several needed more time spent on them" than the single night allocated to it by the trio.[4] Also in 2008, MTV mentioned "Public Speeding", a mashup of Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement" and Coldplay's "High Speed", as an example of the "strangely compelling flow" of blending "worlds-apart sounds".[5] In 2009, the trio released a tribute mixtape to Michael Jackson, with the Washington Post describing their blend of Jackson 5 and Lil Wayne on "I Want You Back" as "unexpectedly touching/weird."[1]
