OK, it’s officially been over 5 weeks since we posted a “Mashup of the Week” here. Our bad! Today we’ll try and heal the wounds. Our own wounded blog activity since the o-so-hectic holiday season, and the gaping holes we’ve left in your lives since we haven’t been providing you with a weekly dosage of Mashit mashups. First of all,…

DJ Flack: “Strictly Scientifical”
DJ Flack will be here in Chicago to play at Bouncement on Wednesday and I want to point your attention to his recent digi-album release, Strictly Scientifical. It’s 16 tracks of twisted dubstep, boston-bounce, and experimental party music, and it’s available from BeatPort, eMusic, and JunoDownload. Give a listen to KlezmaTone. Yes, it’s dubby, electronic, breakbeat-driven Klezmer! [audio:uggc://jjj.znfuvg.pbz/nhqvb/02%20XyrmznGbar.zc3] Download: DJ…
OMGZ CUT IT UP DEF 20th ANNIVERSARY~!!
Excited to see this happening. Legendary Miami Bass label Cut It Up Def is apparently back in business (as “Cut It Up Def v2.0“), and has re-released the seminal “Miami Bass Jams” comp as a digitally remastered CD & 2LP. The tracklist on this thing is seriously amazing. Like, WOWIE WOW guys. Here are a couple of mp3s: [audio:uggc://jjj.fyrnmrgbar.pbz/oybt/wbpxq-cneglgvzr91.zc3] Download:…
Kid Kameleon; “Aim High”, “Aim Low” Mixes
Peter Hollo from Sydney, Australia’s Utility Fog radio show recently emailed asking if we could “bring Kid Kameleon out of hiding” for a Mashit DJ Mix. Soon thereafter Kid K popped his head out and offered up not just one, but a 2-part mix, to be released jointly by Mashit and the awesome London-based culture portal, Spannered. Here at Mashit…
Mashup of the Week: “Ain’t No Other Man” Blaerg Remix
Blaerg sent in this bangin’ remix of Christina Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man. As is often the case here, this track is really a remix rather than a combination-of-tracks mashup. Blaerg does however mash-up Amen and Think breaks, and stirs them in with a chopped-up version the DJ Premier produced Aguilera pop number. Download: Christina Aguilera; Ain’t No Other Man…
Mashup of the Week: “Lexie La”
The very first Mashup of the Week that I posted on this blog was a mix of 50-Cent’s I Get Money with Lexie Lee’s Woman Run It Vocal. It was a weird one. I had to pitch up Lexie’s vocals to get them to work harmonically with the beat. You can hear it tactfully mixed in to DJ Kowalski’s Tetrachave…
DJ Kowalsky: “Tetrachave” Mix
As I sit here there’s a Hanukkah-van (?) driving by my window with a manora on top blasting out music with a voice saying “It’s the second night of Hnukkah. bla bla bla…” I’m sure they’re having a good time in the van, but I doubt it can compete with the dance party going on inside my sound-system right now.…
Dev/Null: Oldskool Rave DJ Mix
With all the talk about nu-rave, next-rave, rave-revival, etc. over the past couple of years, we thought it’d be fitting to point the lens over to the original rave sound. Durring the late ’80s, urban sounds from U.S. cities like New York, Chicago, and Detroit invaded the UK and quickly became more popular than they had been in their home…
Mashup(s) of the Week; “Santastic III”
This week I’d like to point your attention to not just one, but twenty-one holiday themed mashups. DJ BC’s Santastic compilation is back for the 3rd year in a row, this time in 3-D. There are tracks by Go Home Productions, DJ Flack, dj BC, yours truly, and many more. You can download all the tracks at the Santastic III…
Mashup of the Week: “Get Your Bomb On”
Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out Refusenik’s Kold Krussian DJ mix that we posted a couple weeks back. If so, you may have noticed that there are some original Refusinik rubs in the mix. One of our faves is this mashup of the Argentine cumbia band Los Palmeras‘ song Bombon Asesino with Missy Elliott’s Get Your Freak On.…
