Love when mashers take 2 vocals and substitute the words for one another. Ya know, like when someone finishes your…
The two sexay bitches known as The Jane Doze have done just that and have taken two of the most memorable vocals of 2011 and thrown it into one hell of a Houser. I do wish they would’ve kept up the momentum a little longer and maybe put in a few other likeminded samples, maybe “Somebody to Love” by Queen near the end – though, that may not have fit the overall theme.
Mucho love for these two, we don’t hear enough lady mashers on here!

Sometimes this flows oh.so.well and others it feels off like mashups tend to (at times). But what I love about it is its new feel to Fabolous & Nate Dogg. If you’re gonna mashup popular hip-hop, put something different in any way possible.

A soothing house # that takes Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” and makes it as sensual as ever. Man, I remember the “Wicked Game” music video from back in the day #90sSuave!

Big Mike sounds a hell of a like those Gutterfly boys, the Lifesavas, and I’m so damn into it. Dude is more ghetto funk than Ghetto Funk. Make sure to check out his LP, Bayou Classic – Love.Faith.Honor.Loyalty if you’re feelin this.

One of my favorite supa mashas is back at it again. His “Bad Mama Jama Mania” was one of my favorite mashups of 2011 and this is slowly becoming a favorite of 2012.
In his “Tight Stripes” mashup, 8corp takes even more samples than last time and aligns ’em to one well formed, free flowing mashup. This is why I love super mashups so much, they take a little of a lot and compile it into something completely new (well, maybe not completely).

This may have the mechanical feel that people refer to as brostep, but Wonk drives in mind-rumbling bass that moves me way beyond that shit. And to top it off, those good ol’ synths to really bring me beyond. Ya gotta check this shit, brooo.

Damn, do I miss that downtempo melodicness. I’ve been too wrapped up in heavy bass drops & progressive house highs to sit back & tune out to the calmer beats.
Skai Nine’s “Crystalize” may not be music to fall asleep to, but it’s one reflective tune, in the least. Especially love the synth melody on this, it’s as beautiful as it is reminiscing.

Paper Diamond hops on as another Weeknd remixer and remakes “Same Old Song” with finely cut bass that rolls over those signature Weeknd vocals. Wasn’t all that much of a fan of the original, but Paper Diamond throws in that mind-numbing bass that gets me every.damn.time.

Sugarpill & ChrisB. team up as Swordfight to bring us a fine mix of lazer-crunk madness and soothing, bass-filled melodies. This’ll be a part of the Disciples of Headtron: Vol. I mixtape, which takes all the West Coast crunkers and compiles ’em for fine tuning. Let’s just say if they’re all as basstastic as this, I’ll be fiending fo more!

This sure as hell doesn’t need those funny as rhymers who go by the Flight of the Conchords, but it sure makes for good comic relief. Spoonhead’s glitched-out remix of “Hiphoppotamus vs. Rhymenocerous” is one heeavvvvvvy lazer-crunk beat with supporting vocals from Jermaine & Bret.
“They call me the Hiphopopotamus, my lyrics are bottomless….”
