XLR8R magazine asked me to contribute to their annual Best Of poll this year and some of my comments are published in this month’s issue. I thought I’d share them — plus a bunch of the ones that didn’t make the cut — with y’all here: Best Artist South Rakkas Crew I’ve been digin’ these guys dancehall productions for a…

Mashit Release: DJ C and Zulu; “Body Work” Out Now
Now available at the Mashit MP3 Download Shop, DJ C & Zulu come at you with Body Work, a dance-floor killer in Boston-bounce style. This 4-track single contains the original mix, instrumental, a capella, and Murderbot’s Body Juke refix. When Body Work was released as a 10-inch single on the Community Library imprint, Boomkat exclaimed: This rough, rugged 10-inch rams…
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.…
Mashit Release: Murderbot “Ruff In The Bunny Fizness”
-> Ruff In The Bunny Fizness MP3 Download <- Last month we kicked off the Mashit MP3 download shop with the exclusive MP3 release of DJ C’s Sonic Weapons album. Next up we present Murderbot’s Ruff In The Bunny Fizness, an album of 11 jungle-rave anthems. This, the first full-length album from Murderbot, contains super-crisp, remastered versions of his notoriously…
