mashed and exploded

kids and explosions

don't we all love a good chill mashup?

discovered this guy about a year ago, he's the cousin of a friend and is such an interesting dj.

gotta say i've been listening to mashups since girl talk ripped the night. 

Back then it was all about a really simple rock beat... things were a little predictable but so funky fresh. 

naturally I'll always hold a cozy little place in my heart for a classic mashup with a rock bassline, hip hop vocals and a little pop melody. 

Since then they've gotten kinda glitzy, complex, housey, the beat's gotten a little more dancey which is grand and all but we're all kinda over it. 

then there's kids and explosions.

his whole scene lies in super super choppy lyrics all spliced up and sewn together on top of lax rock/pop riffs and beats. 

pop a little chewed up biggie on some messed up bowie and somehow this kid has injected a little life into the stale mashup. for this you deserve a salute good sir.

so do it. free mixtape here.

The New Science is my favourite........ and if your mama's not around Swear Words will doubtlessly get you on your feet.

 

Hey look.... I did manage to go a whole post without mentioning Robyn.
