Deadmau5 vs Kool and the Gang? Yep. Have I lost my mind? Maybe. Either way, this brainchild of a mashup has been getting killer responses through Digitally Imported Radio, and more specifically my inbox. So I figure, why not make it a Penned Madness exclusive? If you haven't heard of Deadmau5, you're probably living under a rock. If you haven't heard of Kool and the Gang...you may be living in a cave! Where I got the idea for this is beyond me, maybe it was from listening to Deadmau5's recently massive release "Hi Friend", after listening to Jungle Boogie off of the Pulp Fiction sound track one too many times. I don't ask questions.
Combining the thickly sliced bass sounds of perhaps biggest electro house producer to date, the masters of feel good funk, edits, cuts, loops, detunes and a little sweat, I give you Kool & The Gang vs Deadmau5 & MC Flipside - Jungle Friend (Mark Starr's Jungle Boogie Beatz Mashup). Hope you enjoy!
So some new things are coming to Tallahassee and I just wanted to keep you good people abreast to these trends. Just a little back story - Andrea Grant, Steve Lurkel, and myself, DJ Mannes, have been doing the DJ Duo thing around Tallahassee for quite some time now, going way back to October 2007 when we first teamed up for a party at our good friend Dan Morales' house. We didn't have any prior practice together but with very similar styles and tastes, we quickly blended (and quite nicely) into this DJ Dance Party unit. We then began playing numerous parties and small events together throughout town which leads us to the present - where we were recently offered a weekly spot as residents over a brand new dance night at a popular spot on the city drag. So without further ado, I would like to introduce to you....
Big Daddy's in Tallahassee is most famously known as one of the number #1 party bars in the nation as rated by Playboy magazine 2 years ago. A Tallahassee staple, Big Daddy's throws a number of different themed weekly events, most successful being the 80's/Indie dance night ever Monday night where they manage to cram 100+ into this hole in the wall. Normally closed on Tuesday nights, the owner Rob has given us a chance to test our mettle and throw our very own party. Our music, our rules, our special guests, it's everything one could hope for for a weekly gig.
To conclude this post, here is a track the was suggested to us by our very dear friend and fellow Tallahassee DJ, Mark Starr. This will be opening the night off, just you wait...
