I have a mustache.

I'd argue that the best type of remix/mashup is one that basically incorporates rap with any good song...very broad, I know. So here's a random assortment of mashups that do just that:

Mojo ft. DJ Clutch - Dangerous ('Hey Oh' Mix)

Matt & Kim - Daylight (Troublemaker Remix feat. De La Soul)

The Hood Internet - Soulja Boy vs Digitalism - Crank Dat Pogo

DJ E - Intro Like This (The XX vs. Mims)

DJ Bless - Transformin’ Fireflies (Owl City vs Lil Wayne)

Dirty Disco Kidz - Pretty Lights vs Westside Connection (Mr Physix Mashup)

PANTyRAID - Beba (Cool Catz & Shotgun Radio Remix) 

And this last PANTyRAID remix I've been meaning to post for a while now, but I couldn't figure out which post to include it in. I guess this is the one.

Freeland - Do You (PANTyRAiD Remix)

I need a break from studying

I've been listening to Two Door Cinema Club a lot recently. They have a really catchy electronic/alternative sound, very similar to Vampire Weekend and Phoenix in my opinion. Last month they released their first studio album, Tourist History, and it's quite good. Click on the link to buy it.

Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn

Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know

Two Door Cinema Club - Costume Party

And you should have heard their hit "I Can Talk" in the last few months, here are some remixes of that gem:

Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk (Crystal Fighters Remix)

Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk (French Horn Rebellion Remix)

Here ya go

I've been meaning to post these for a while now but finals have been distracting me. It's a random post, so I'll just let you listen. The video's amusing as well. Enjoy.



Barretso - We Wont Stop (Redial Remix)

The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix)

Dada ft. The Other - Majestic 12 (Super Mal Remix)

Timbaland ft. Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again (Chew Fu Deja Chew Fix)

Timbaland ft. SoShy - Mornin After Dark (Wolfgang Gartner Remix)

Forever

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Eminem released this song called Forever back in Sept. '09 (if you haven't heard it, shame on you). Since then, it's been remixed/mashed up more times than is necessary, much like Empire of the Sun's Walking on a Dream. Here they are, rated and everything to make things easy for you.

The mashups:

The Hood Internet - Cult Logic Forever (Drake vs. Miike Snow) (5/5)

Docta Dawe - House Forever (Drake vs. Massive Attack) (5/5)

Devcam - Party In The USA vs. Forever (2/5)

The remixes:

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (Nosaj Thing Remix) (6/5) yes, it gets a 6 outta 5

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (Dave Edwards Remix) (4/5)

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (Dr Rosen Rosen remix) (4/5)

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (Simon & Julian remix) (3/5)

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (SPL Remix Alternate Version) (4/5)

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (Steve Aoki Remix)  (2/5)

This last remix I'm posting mainly for the video, because I feel like Travis Barker is the modern Neil Peart (Rush's drummer).



Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (Travis Barker Remix) (3/5)

And of course, there's the original...who listens to original songs these days?

Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem - Forever (4/5)

There is also mashup of Owl City, Dashboard, Sixpence None the Richer and Forever out there that I'm not even going to bother posting cause it pains me to listen to it. If that sounds like something you're interested in, it's on youtube.

NBA Jams

Checkout these videos/commercials, I'm inspired..

Dub and Dubber

I have a stuffy nose, but that is one of my all time favorite movies. (get it?)

But seriously, here are some good dubstep tracks that I think you should hear, compliments of my good friend Mr. Huber.

Toast - Capsules

Pata Pooh feat Adam Tensa - Follow Me (Hot Mess Remix)

Florence & The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Slof Man & Jor-One Remix)

Louis La Roche - Malfunction (The Killabits Dubstep Remix)

Kid CuDi - Pursuit of Happiness (The Killabits Dubstep Remix)

Coachella Artist #5 - Pretty Lights

While I'm not the biggest fan of my last Coachella pick, I have a big man crush on the next artist and his uncanny ability to produce amazing tracks. Pretty Lights (Derek Vincent Smith on a monome) has been around for a while, but if you've been living under a rock and never heard of them, he offers his amazing music fo free! So go download the albums here

Pretty Lights makes me wanna dance with my hands (cause I'm quite white and can't dance normally). This first song, I Can See It In Your Face, is the first leak from one of his 3 upcoming EP's, Making Up a Changing Mind. The rest are "old" but still amazing. If I were only going to see one artist at Coachella, Pretty Lights would be it, hands down (or hands up if you dance like me).

Pretty Lights - I Can See It In Your Face

Pretty Lights - Finally Moving

Pretty Lights - Finally Moving Remix

Pretty Lights - Ask Your Friends

Pretty Lights -Aimin At Your Head

And for those of you who have never heard of or seen a monome, check it out, it's virtually capable of anything and is probably the future of music.

This is David Phipps from STS9 on his custom monome:

Coachella Artist #4 - Iglu & Hartly

First off, this video is too ridiculous not to post:




Iglu & Hartly - DayGlo

So, these guys are set for Saturday on Coachella's lineup, they have some good songs, listen to em, go see em, enjoy.

Iglu & Hartly - In This City

Iglu & Hartly - In This City (MHC Remix)

Nosaj Thing Studio Video

Thanks to The Music Ninja, I recently found this video of Nosaj Thing doin his thing. In my opinion, this guy is a musical genius, so watch the master at work:

Random Finds of the Week

This first song reminds me of a bad 80's song...awful lyrics, catchy beat, and 10 years from now we'll probably be embarrassed we liked it.

Calvin Harris - Stars Come Out 

The rest of these are pretty damn enjoyable as well, especially FUSE, I've been listening to it on repeat all day.

FUSE - Hudson Mohawke

Owen Pallett - Lewis Takes Off His Shirt 

Four Tet - Sing

P.SO - Mind Over Matter ft. Chris Faust

aaand, of course, Ke$ha has a another hit song that's gonna be overplayed and over-remixed for the next 3 months, enjoy.

Ke$ha ft. 3oh!3 - Blah Blah Blah (Redlight Remix)

Coachella Artist #3 - Erol Alkan

This is the first time I've heard of this guy, he was the owner/DJ of a nightclub in London called "Trash" until a few years ago when he started makin his own music. He's debatably the genius who created the mashup; this is one of his from almost 8 years ago, under the alias Kurtis Rush:

Kurtis Rush (Erol Alkan) - Can't Get Blue Monday Outta My Head

This is some of his more recent stuff, I can tell seeing him at Coachella will be awesome:

Justice - Waters of Nazareth (Erol Alkan Re-Edit)

Erol Alkan & Boys Noize - Waves 

Erol Alkan & Boys Noize - Waves (Chilly Gonzales Piano Remake)

ps - sorry if the songs only work sometimes...

Coachella Artist #2 - As Tall As Lions

These guys have been around for quite a while, and they have a more alternative sound than the other stuff you've heard on Huckleberry Jams. I've never seen em live but I've heard they kill it at shows... definitely a must see at Coachella.

As Tall As Lions - 96 Heartbeats

As Tall As Lions - Love Love Love (Love Love)

As Tall As Lions - Ghost Of York

As Tall As Lions - And the Wick Burnt Black

As Tall As Lions - Circles (Diplo Remix)

Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (Aeroplane Italo 84 Remix)

Robbie Williams - Bodies (Aeroplane Instrumental Remix)
