Mashup Monday is back in full swing and I am very excited to
be back. Hope you all had a great
weekend because HOOO boy do I have some news to share with all of you.
So this past weekend I went to Sugoicon in Cincinatti, an
annual gaming and anime convention.
It was awesome, my friends DJ XMFD and DJ Retox played the raves, I went
to some panels, saw some friends, and had a damn great time. The most exciting news though is that
apparently at one of the smaller raves that happens throughout the year, DJs are
scarce, especially because their only 2 last time cancelled on them. My convention friend Zerker (for the
record he is the one who is involved in the Sleeping Samurai, the mock fighting
group where the DJ sword battle (can be found on youtube) was shot, and the one
who let me mix my first live set in the same room) knows the people who run
it. Apparently they need serious
DJs who have no chance of backing out and he said he may be able to get my name
in the mix! HOLY SHIT. This is like a dream come true, Zerker,
I don’t know if you are reading this but I love you and would honestly kill for
this opportunity. If it pans out,
more details to come in the future, if not, its not the end of the world. Anyway, best moment of the convention
was at the rave Friday night where a guy dressed as Jesus was showing off some
pretty sweet dance moves and the whole crowd was chanting, “JESUS! JESUS!
JESUS!”
Alright, lets get to the music for the day. The mashup that I chose for today is one
which is a bit different. The
combination of Wolfgang Gartner and Bob Marley is one that no one could have
ever seen coming because they are on opposite sides of the music world, but Flikhou5 somehow made it work. This mashup works works
incredible well with the chilling vocals of Marley and the synchronized build and
drop matching the vocals by Gartner.
Enjoy it!
