Moving on from the Best Ghetto Funk of 2011 (whatever that is), we get 12 mixes & mashes that will pump you up from 2011 all the way into 2012. Most of these are mashups of Progressive House // Raver type music with a bit of something else sprinkled on top. A few have their flaws, but the’re all the best to go buck wild to and ring in the New Year, baby!
Talk about mashing up two of the best remixes with two of the loveliest vocals of the year and topping it all off with a little MJ intro… how the hell could you not love this Ipaneema takes everything I love about Skrillex’s remix of “Cinema” – Gary Go & those high-touch synths – and lays it with Madeon’s infamous “Raise Your Weapon” remix, which outclasses Deadmau5’s original in every way.
I do wish a bit more of the “Cinema” beat from Skrillex’s remix was highlighted – especially those synths, so melodic – but I guess that grimey dubstep may not work too well here.
