Whoopsy...

To start this off... I am sorry.  It has been over a week since the last post, and if you are looking for something to blame, blame school work.  I've been packed this last week, but regardless I am sorry for not posting.


To make it up, here are some incredible new tracks, all of them are complete must downloads.


Mortal Comeback - Laidback Luke ft. Lady Bee


Where's Your Cannon At? (Wolfgang Gartner Bootleg) - Tom Staar, Bassment Jaxx


Call Your Girlfriend (Feed Me Remix) - Robyn 


And NOTHING says I'm sorry like a brand new Dada Life video with giant gorillas fighting bananas.

Brand New Sidney Samson

Probably the second best dirty dutch producer right now, only behind Afrojack, Sidney Samson has consistently been churning out Dutch House bangers, and these two tracks are just a few examples.  Make sure you download, and check out our other posts on Sidney Samson here.

Mashups...Done Right

A HUGE genre of new music right now is the Mashup.  For those of you who don't know, or for some reason can't guess what it is, a mashup is one single track, consisting of two or more individual tracks mixing the vocals, instrumentals, harmonies, and melodies.  Personally, I am not a huge fan of mashups.  I respect their ingenuity, though.  No doubt a well put together mashup is almost mathematical in its flow, but I just don't love them.  This could have to do with the fact that almost every major mashup group uses pop music tracks, and most pop songs make me fucking crazy. 


BUT, if you haven't gathered by now, this is an electro music blog.  So what type of mashup belongs in my post?  Electro Mashups.  


They can be considered glorified set mixing, but the really well done tracks are absolutely nuts.  


Without further adieu, here are a couple electro mashups

Bonkers Streisand (Bootleg) - Duck Sauce vs Dizzee Rascal

San Fransisco Dreaming (Musical Racket Mix) - Global Deejays Vs Benny Benassi

Blau Romance (Lady Gaga vs. Laidback Luke & Lee Mortimer + LA Riots) - Laidback Luke & Lee Mortimer

BLOODY BEETROOTS VS. MSTRKRFT - The Bloody Beetroots vs. MSTRKRFT (SETLIST MASHUP)

Restless Bonking (Horse Got Restless Edit) - Armand Van Helden vs Fake Blood

Extra Credit:  If you DO like pop mashups, as I know many people do, make sure to check out the Best of Bootie compilations, created by underground mashup superstars, A + D.  They take the best bootleg mashups found around the internet and create a yearly mix.

Spotlight: Diplo

Thomas Pentz (known to us by the name Diplo) has become a household name for electro fans, famous for his ability to merge genres seamlessly.  Diplo spent his childhood moving from one southern state to the next, picking up on musical influence along the way.  After first getting mainstream acclaim with DJ Low Budget and their group "Hollertronix" (mixtape ranked number 3 on New York Times best albums of 2003), Diplo moved on to collaborate with huge names such as M.I.A., Santigold, Gucci Mane, Tiesto, Laidback Luke, and La Roux.  


Currently Diplo manages his own record company, Mad Decent, which has released artists such as Rusko, Gucci Mane, Santigold, and many more, as well as being half of the headlining group Major Lazer, alongside Switch. 


Diplo continues to produce chart crashing hits, while staying true to his influences.  His music has been described as "homeless" and "not fitting anywhere"by M.I.A., and I agree with her completely.  Try and classify Diplo as one genre and see what happens.  It's near impossible.  And that's fucking awesome. 


Of course, here are some tunes to feed your new found Diplo hunger


A++ Make You Pop - Diplo and Don Diablo


A++ C'Mon - Tiesto vs. Diplo


A Hey - Laidback Luke and Diplo


A How I Like It - Afrojack and Diplo


A+ Going Through Hell (Diplo Remix) - The Streets (DUBSTEP)

A++ Hey Brap! (JSK "Someone Had To Do That" Bootleg) - Laidback Luke, Bart B More, Diplo

P.S. - sophocles happens to be in love with diplo, so any questions should definitely be directed to her
