Emergency Mashup Mixtape

So, I'll be honest. I forgot about yesterday. Posting a mixtape didn't even cross my mind until 1 AM this morning. Last weekend was Exhausting. Yes, capital "e." We had House Party 4 on Saturday, and those of you that went know why I'm exhausted. It was massive. We packed that place to the walls. I haven't danced that hard in years, and I was behind the tables for the most of it. So, last minute, I put together this emergency mashup mixtape and it is tasty.

VERSUS
Mashup Mixtape

In true fashion of Mashup, I tried to include as many genres as possible. That why Mashups are so appealing. It's taking one thing and another thing that is much unlike the other and forcing them to get along. It's a bit of an ironic genre, which is why it probably had such an appeal to the "cool kid crowd." Most of these tracks are new gems. A lot of you that follow this blog have a fair collection of mashups, so I wanted to give you some that you probably didn't already have. Hopefully I succeeded.

Lazer Disco, I made you something.

4 days, 4 DAYS...
It was 4 days ago that I started working on this edit, and I have been focusing on nothing but it.
I just got the necessary software to pull apart songs and remix them. I've been wanting to edit Chic's I want you love for the longest time. Chic songs are perfect for nudisco remixes. So, fruit of my labor, all yours. Make a parfait with it, a salad, give it to your teacher in hopes of impressing her, whatever. Regardless, let me know what you think.

Should probably start off with a mixtape. So, I'll post two in a-

Disco! Disco!

Nu-Disco Mixtape

"It's coming back." I've been saying it for years. "Seriously, Disco is coming back!" No one believes me on this thing. Your dad's said it for years; he's right.

This is a compilation of floor burners. A lot of nudisco has come out this year (as well as a lot of tech-house, which I consider to be very boring and repetitive) and I have been excited about every one of these tracks. All of them have been dancefloor tested and approved.

Hip-Hop, Jazz, Downtempo, Afro, ATL Mixtape

Hip Hop and most genres in relation to it have always been a bit of a sore subject for me. I couldn't comprehend a way to enjoy it. I always used to judge music by how creative it was. Looking back, that's total bullshit. I'm now able to appreciate music on multiple level of values instead of seeing if it was "super kewl." I've sat on a good lot of these tracks for a while now and a good lot of them haven't gone anywhere in levels of listeners. That saddens me. There is a massive amount of talent, time, and hard work that went into producing these. If you do so happen to enjoy one of these tracks, buy the album. It's usually filled with goodies. Give all the songs at least a minute before skipping.

1. Freestyle (Ratatat Remix) -Despot
2. Down The Sides -fbcfabric & reindeer
3. Winter Lane (Nujabes Remix) -DSK

This Guy Is Open For Business: Harassment

I remember being 15 and hearing about "Blogging" thinking that it was one of the most useless platforms "teh internet" had come up with. Blogs about what sandwiches some guy named frank had made for that week; Blogs about Gloria's ever growing beany babies collection (a dead market even then); Livejournal blogs about angsty teenagers and there daily lives.

A couple of years ago, I began following a number of "mp3 blogs." I thought to myself, "Yes! A blogging genre that can keep my interest!" Not only did it keep my interest, but I became obsessed. By the end of this past year, I found myself following over twenty mp3 blogs." Spending day after day on Hype Machine; praying for a new track to come out that would tickle my fancy.

Well, after all that, it's come to this.

I have a strong belief that playlists, compilations, and mixtapes are my niche. I'm a DJ, hopefully it should be. Everyone else in the family has a blog. It's time.

Periodically, I will be posting mixtapes. Mostly mixtapes, I'm sure every now and again I'll post a single track to promote new and amazing works.
