Girl Talk (aka Greg Gillis) is from Pittsburgh who has made a career out of being the single greatest sampler in the history of electronic music.
He has received this recognition by mixing his samples using only a laptop. Mashups are the biggest thing now...and Girl Talk is known as the biggest name by far putting together these compilations
He mashes up artists you wouldn't normally associate with one another (i.e., the Notorious B.I.G. next to Journey, Metallica up against Hall & Oates). Every song sounds like a hit because they're all nothing but already-familiar samples.
All Day has a ton of huge high-profile samples; just on the first track alone...Black Sabbath, Jay-Z, Eminem, Jane's Addiction, the Ramones, the Doors and Missy Elliott!
Here is a clip from one of the tracks on All Day...On and On:
