I am absolutely LOVING this mix. Willy Joy is a MPLS-to-Chicago transplant playing basically all the stuff that we here at Mashit hold dear. The tracklist is absolutely nuts on this one—some seriously clever curveballs thrown in the mix and recontextualized in some fascinating ways. Here’s the audio, then the tracklist.

Mashup of the Week: “Crank Dis SB”
Hello boys and girls. It’s time for another installment of what we here at Mashit like to call Mashup of the Week. Two weeks ago we posted a crunk-step version of Crank Dat. Continuing on with that theme, this week’s installment comes from Crawfordsville, Indiana’s Sidney Looper who sent over this speed-bassline version: Download: Sidney Looper; Crank Dis SB [audio:uggc://jjj.znfuvg.pbz/nhqvb/Penax%20Qvf%20FO.zc3]…

Club DJs Under Investigation for Piracy
OK, folks. Here’s a story to keep an eye on: Investigation into DJ piracy amid claims newcomers are stealing the show from the Sydney Morning Herald. Wow! The music industry’s going to crack down on club DJs now. Great way to try and snub out one of your most important means of PR, music industry!
R.I.P. Patrick
Today is the 25th anniversary of the death of one of my heroes (and another one of those dance music legends suffering from a SERIOUS respect defecit), Patrick Cowley. As much as Giorgio Moroder, Cowley introduced electronics into a genre that had been until-then composed primarily with traditional instruments, in effect inventing electronic dance music.* Born in Buffalo, NY in…
Refusenik “Kold Krussian” DJ Mix
Refusenik was one of my favorite DJs in Boston. It was always a blast when he’d come out to rock Beat Research — which is in fact where he played his first club gig ever a couple years back. I was sad when he left to go live in Buenos Ares, Argentina but it looks like he’s been continuing to…

Genre Blends
Prancehall interview with Toddla T: You sound like someone who is trying to make dancehall/techno/garage/house/hip-hop all at once within the same track without coming across like those dicks who make stuff like Baltimore bootlegs of kuduro tracks with an Akon acappella and a Daft Punk sample hook, and describe their tastes as “eclectic”. Tell me about that.
