Mashups + Remixes = Dancing

Hey Yall, been a bit but I figured I would put something up before the Halloween weekend to get everyone pumped to dress up in ridiculous costumes. Lately I've come across a ton of dancy stuff that I thought would be perfect for additions to any dance party mix. Then I noticed that a few of the artists I had chosen had some other cool remixes/new material so I thought I might as well put those up also.  I don't have the time to really write about each song, but if you like what you hear on any of the remixes go the artists website/myspace and check them out. For those of you who don't spend the majority for their time on the internet looking up new music, these remixes are done by people who might be considered the best in the remix world by some. Diplo, The Teenagers, and Estaw are each dancy in their own unique way. Check em. 


With the rise of Girl Talk I feel like I've seen more and more mashups popping up. The cool thing about mashups is that it can take what would normally be a piece of trash, (Kanye's newish single "Love Lockdown") and mash it together with something briliiant (Radiohead's Reckoner) and come out with a decent sounding track. I threw another Kanye mashup below to because I know how much everyone loves The Knife


And if that wasn't enough, The Teenagers remix above reminded me that Vampire Weekend released a new track called Ottoman. If you were at Capitol Hill Block Part in Seattle this year you know what I'm talking about. They played a slightly different version of the song with a different name if I remember correctly, but still the new track is solid. That's all for me. Happy Halloween Yall.
