This is the 3rd week of Daily Handful which means we've made it past any potential sophomore slump. To celebrate I figured I'd post some light-hearted fun mixes for this week's Mixed Up Monday.
Up first is a mix of Christina Aguilera's newest "Keep's Getting Better." While part of me misses the days of Redman cameos,the Jody den Broeder Radio Mix is pretty damn catchy.
Time to crank up that car radio, because Glow Tapel's String Cheese Mix is straight up golden. The 5 minute mashup features tracks from The Verve, Kanye West, MGMT, Justice, and Lupe Fiasco. For the most part the vocals are the two Chi-town rappers flowing over bittersweet symphony but it's awesome.
Tunes:
Christina Aguilera - Keeps Gettin Better (Jody den Broeder Radio Mix)
Glow Tapel's String Cheese Mashup (The Verve, Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Justice, MGMT)
Here's the next dose of Mixed Up Monday tunes. After the weekend Mondays always seem like they are a hell of a lot longer than 24 hours. Here's some great mashups to get you through the grind.
First on the list is some Rihanna vs. T-Pain action with a mashup of "Buy You a Drank" and "Umbrella." The tracks blend together with T-Pain's R&B vocals blending nicely with the more hip hop drum beat of "Umbrella."
Next up is a mashup of Cherish's "Killa" with Ciara's "One Two Step." While the change in beat certainly won't make you bust moves like Ciara & co. in the video, it should get a foot tapping.
Rounding out the trio is a mashup of "Bed" and "Apologize" by J. Holiday and One Republic respectively. This is my favorite of the three tracks. It's definitely got that slow jam feel and I'd argue that the One Republic beat makes this track better than either original.
Tunes:
T-Pain vs. Rihanna - Buy You An Umbrella
Ciara vs. Cherish - Killa Step
J. Holiday vs. One Republic - Apologize in Bed
This is the first of what is hopefully a long line of Mixed Up Monday posts. Every Monday I'll put up some of the most popular covers/remixes currently circulating. Check em out.
The Risk One mix of the Ting Tings "Shut Up and Let Me Go" takes the catchy pop tune into a more hip-hop/dance direction. Their remix of Busta Rhymes' "Don't Touch Me"features the beat to Britney Spears' Break the Ice and is ridiculous. The Dr. Rosen mix of "Womanizer" is one of just twenty remixes available of the new Britney single, but it's one of the best I've come across. The Missy May "Party In Gear" remix is one of my latest guilty pleasures as I dance around my apartment getting ready for a night out (something about it brings back memories of Call on Me)
Tunes:
Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go (Risk One Remix)
Busta Rhymes - Don't Touch Me (Risk One Remix)
Britney Spears - Womanizer (Dr. Rosen Rosen Remix)
Missy May - Party In Gear (2-4 Remix)
