I am so proud of our fellow blogger, my dj partner, and best friend! He has gotten his first top 10 chart on Beatport!!! If you don't believe me here is the fucking photo to prove it! Congrats MARK, WE RUN FL & AND SOON THE WORLD BABY!!!!!!
Here is one of his latest mash ups!!!! Fucking FIRE!! I believe you guys who were at Menace Beach last week heard it!!
Some of you out there on teh internets may have heard my mashup of Busta Rhymes -Dangerous, and Deadmau5 vs Jelo - The Reward Is Cheese. Since its leak back in late 07, it caught on pretty damn well. The mashup has received play at clubs such as The Church in Denver, and by DJs in Canada, London, Germany, and Florida (notably DJ DC, DJ Robert F, Rhoan Descartes, The Digitalist, and others). Well, turns out Deadmau5 decided to give the original The Reward Is Cheese a new twist, with quite the creative name: "The Reward Is MORE Cheese". With WMC rolling around in a few months, I couldn't resist but revive this old mashup with the new version of the Cheese by Mau5trap label owner/Deadmau5, Joel Zimmerman. The original track has a pretty epic build up that was stolen for a lot of other productions that year, and includes everything you would expect from the mau5: Kicks like a proper curb stomping, basslines rough enough to peel the paint off your bedroom walls in yo mommas basement, and synths sharp enough to cut your corpus callosum right down the middle like a brain surgeon.
The new mix is just as tasty as the first, with a few new bells and whistles, really, its not that much different, but a good excuse for me to re-do the mashup so I can play it again without being bored :)
Here's both the original version of the mashup, and the new one (a penned madness exclusive)
So a few days ago, I saw some bulletins on the myspaces announcing a new remix from one of my personal favorites, Bird Peterson of Austin Texas. The new track in question was a remix of Busta Rhymes' latest single, "Don't Touch Me." "The Godfather of the Club Banger" himself, Busta has succeed in making himself one fine banger, in which Bird decided to turn into a disgusting mess of awesome. Thanks to Palms Out for getting this track and feeding it to all of us...
Like the Mama bird of internet dance music for many of us eager bloggers... Palms Out is there...
Here's the Busta jam and some other choice ones as well, a Wu-Tang edit (little old but still sick and just released on vinyl) and a Bird classic, a remix of The Who from the EP "...plays other people's popular jams with computers."
