Is That You God? – Goodie Mob

Here’s a little French pop to put a pep in your pace.

Oh, yeah, that’s right. That’s what’s it’s all about, all right. But talkin’ about it and bein’ it, that’s two different things. I mean, it’s real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free, ’cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they’re gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare ‘em*

If you’re under the age of 23, odds are you just finished some sort of school year where tests were involved and this week marks your first week of being done with things. For reasons unknown to me, this video captured perfectly the feelings I was feeling and so it seemed to fit the post. Judging by his vimeo profile, Reborn Identity does a LOT of video work, so I urge you strongly to check into it (https://vimeo.com/user1650913), as it’s very good and dare I say…inspirational. Otherwise, it was a pretty active week in the mashup realm so I’ll bring you some of my favorites below as always.

Tapes

Infinite Limit is an artist I discovered maybe a month or two ago, and when he posted he was working on his first small EP I was very excited, and here it is! So called “Summertime” I’m not sure how well that fits but it certainly had my foot tapping this morning.

Tracks

My fellow Missourian DJ abSRD just released this EDM thumper, I wasn’t expecting the Nicki Minaj to go over as well as it did, definitely a weekend/gym track but very solid. Proud to share a state with this man.

DJ Burnout’s latest features an eclectic mix of hip-hop samples that really lend this track a funky vibe, that gets a little glitchy in all the right ways.

Somehow I can still listen to “Call me Maybe” I think the saving grace of this track from the Co1onel is that its just the instrumental and not the full blown a capella…that probably would’ve killed it for me. If you think you can take it, it’s an enjoyable 3 minutes.

The Reborn Identity, this guy (I think its a guy) surprises me at every turn, I just found out he does a ton of his own video work, which I respect for obvious reasons, but add that to the unique track combo’s that he comes up with and you’ve got a real talent on your hands.

It’s been awhile since I can remember posting something new from DJ 21azy, I’ve loved just about everything I’ve heard from him and this track is no exception.

Did I mention I really like this guys work? (No homo)

Oh and let’s not forget about Mitch-Mash’s latest masterpiece.

Bonus

Skip this if you’re not in the mood for a remix, or more “Call Me Maybe” but Coyote Kisses has probably done the only version of this that I will continue to listen to beyond the fad craze stage of this song. So if that doesn’t count for something I don’t know what will.

Happy Monday. Enjoy.

It’s Friday afternoon, you’ve just finished a final, a paper, a sports practice, or a week of work – whatever you just finished, Mitch-Mash is sure to put the icing on your cake with his latest “id versus ego”. So fantastic its almost indescribable, a calm state of ecstasy once again transforming songs I thought I knew into something that sounds unknowable. How’s that for deep?!

Happy weekend all.

Take me back to a time when I didn’t know what finals were…

Somehow I stumbled across this song when I should have been reviewing how to choose the proper article to use with French verbs. And I knew I’d heard it somewhere before. A quick search of “Pata” in the iTunes library revealed I had, yes, a remix. What a nice surprise to find Miriam Makemba, a South African grammy award winning songstress. After the remix check out another little gem from South Africa.
