Basic Physics is a mashup producer that hails from the good ol’ Midwest. I’ve been following his career for just over a year now and every once in a while a mashup of his pops up that blows me outta the water. He may not be the most prolific masher, spitting out one or more every week, but when you see a release by him, you know he took the time to get it right.

We start off with a decent dance around AC/DC’s “TNT”, until we get into the thick of it all. Soon after the first drop, all hell breaks loose with Avicii’s “Levels” & Taio Cruz’s catchy rhymes from “Dynamite”. Intermission kicks in with an Etta James sample that Pretty Lights made popular. Second half ends it all with Journey’s classic of all classics, “Don’t Stop Believing”, with continuing backups from […]

With two mixtapes that’ve already dropped this year and one more on the way, Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, has got to be one of the most prolific artists of 2011.
In what I’m guessing is the first single to drop from his third album, Echoes of Silence, “Initiation” is another haunting look into this R&B fiend. With vocal manipulations throughout the track, this shit feels trippier than ever before.
Echoes is expected to release October 24 for Drake’s birthday. Can’t wait to hear how he raps up the year.

Niiiiice one, Hooky! Always thought you’d do well with a classic game remix, for some reason I always hear traces of it in your music, and you haven’t disappointed this time ’round. Not only did you pick such a classic tune from Sonic, but this bass music rides the original tempo just right.
Now I gots to find more classic game remixes that contend with this. Suggestions

Screw dubstep, hip-hop, alt rock, electronic; screw it all. It’s all about the Funk. This site may be flooded with just about everything electronic, but as soon as I can find my new groove in this funk scene, I’ll be all up on it.
For now I’ve got Cassian’s remix of “When You’re Dancing”, which brings in the percussions, horns and all the instrumentals for that rhythm and beats beaut-A-ness. Enjoy rockin out to this nostalgic bring back and if ya got any new funk you’ve found, drop it on us!

ill-esha brings back this 90’s classic and puts some heavy glitch bass to the mix. Better yet, she keeps to the original beat, not trying to impress with massive, incoherent drops.
Now, if she could only find more contemporary vocals for her to drop her lovliness on… wait, doesn’t she sing too

For some reason this reminded me of the “Cold As Ice” melody from Foreigner, but now that I went back and actually listened to the track, not so much. Wonder what I’m thinking of… (anyone). Still a bass stabbin remix with enough bass to kill a small goat.

I’ve been listening to the four tracks Skrillex recently put up on SoundCloud and it made me wonder why people like him so much. I actually quite enjoyed a couple of the tracks, but more for who he remixed rather than the actual remixes themselves.
He’s got a few bangers that are done real well, but most of his shit just seems marginally above the rest. That’s why I really want to hear the good and bad from you all. I first had a discussion to see if Skrillex was considered Brostep (still can’t figure what that is, haha), but now I just want to understand his mass appeal.

No Pets remix of “Marijuana” puts more mary to the jane with some high-pitched synths and a thunder-rumbling bass. It may not be that over complicated, insanely sloppy dubstep, but sometimes simple is best [especially in dubstep].

For once I don’t feel so fuckin bad after listening to a Nirvana track, and of course it took a remix to do it. This uplifting electro beat was done by the Sound Remedy, remixed with every bleep, bump and BLURP (I don’t know how to type some sounds) for my electro wants & needs. Props for not only puttin’ Cobain’s voice on a different vibe, but with some electro-class.
