Not only can Bobby C funk out some of my favorite classic rap tracks (check it), but he also puts a fiine ghetto funk spin to some funny ass comedic bits. This time round he puts it on one of The Lonely Island’s best bits, “it’s not gay, when it’s in a 3-way.” Funny & Funky = good times.
If you’re diggin this, make sure to check his remix of Flight of the Conchords’ “Sugar Lumps.”

Other than this being the longest damn name and barely fitting on this post, Fytch & Jaysty’s “Lose Yourself Till I Collapse Patiently Waiting” is a healthy dubstep wrangler with ever higher-state synths. And as much as I can’t find any clear criticisms, I still feel like something needs tweaking. I have a feeling it’s to do with those synthy snths, but who knows. See for yourself.

Finally, we’re introduced to the first single off Chiddy Bang’s long awaited debut album, Breakfast. “Ray Charles” is a fresh look at this Philly duo, which features a soulful piano riff with well sampled R&B backups. But the best thing has got to be those Chiddy flows. I’ll give 50% to Xaphoon, but I haven’t heard Chiddy sound so fresh since The Preview […]

In this week’s dose of mashup from The White Panda, we get an ectrofied “Testify” mashed with Skrillex & Kaskade. I’ve heard quite a few electrofied remixes of RATM tracks and there still not getting old. I like how The White Panda put it, “this is how Rage would sound if they were to delve into this era of electronic dance music” today.

When Deadmau5 isn’t going around making his original awe-inspiring shiit, he takes to creating completely unsampled versions of other legendary works. This time ’round Deadmau5 covers Radiohead’s “Codex” in an almost mind-numbing, hypnotic kind of way (I know there’s a better word to describe it, though). I have a feeling this next year is going to be a prolific one for this mau5!

Ever since I heard Little Dragon on the Gorillaz’ track “Empire Ants,” I’ve had a spin-tingling love obsession with lead singer Yukimi Nagano’s voice. However, in every track since, I haven’t found the instrumental backings that made her voice soar like the Gorillaz did… until now.
Finally, we get something that backs up her voice like a charm, and no doubt it would be from the master mixer Party Ben. I’ve been following PB ever since Adam Sandler gave his approval, featuring a few mashups of his on the Just Go With It soundtrack […]

What a creative little mash. The vocals match up oh so well with that Deadmau5 backdrop (well, Special Features remix of Deadmau5) and the transitions are seamless. However, near the end it all seems to fall apart – I like the Chromeo cuts, but it feels like it gets out of sync with the beat after Luda’s bit. But other than that, I love what Musicmatician did with this, blending vocals and beats into a quite comical mashup.
“That tonight I’m fucking you.” “Not romantic, too dramatic.”

I don’t listen to much Lily Allen music, I think we all know that mainstream music isn’t my thang, but hearing her on Oblivion’s dubstep remix of “Not Fair,” all I can think of is damn what a kinky little bitch. And there’s nothing better for a heavy dubstep remix than one kinky little bitch.

We’ve got another Lana Del Rey remix, this time Balam Acab takes her “Video Games” and blends in one atmospheric beaut. With a mild bass buzzer below and pretty synths from above, Acab captures Lana’s gentle & vulnerable vocals just right. The synths get a bit overwhelming at times, but in a way I kind of like (kind of).

I’ve gone through Gambino’s CAMP one time through and I was pretty damn shocked with it, to say the least. Let’s just say I’ll be doing a top albums of the year all thanks to the Mr. Glover, aka Childish Gambino, aka Dong Lover. But until the full album’s release next Tuesday, I’m gonna hold off on my full thoughts on the album.
Until then, here’s the first single off the album, rightfully titled “Outside.” With its inspiring tune and a touche type message, Gambino gets all of us reclusive types to once again realize maybe we should get the fuck out of the house once in a while. Wish this was a Spring album, so I could actually take the advice, though some sledding might do me in nice.
