0116 - Pop is better Mashed

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a very enjoyable weekend, and can make it through this week to get into the break.  I know this is finals for a good portion of people in school currently, so study hard and power through so you can get to the break and get home!  If you have any requests, message me in the fb group or reply to a post and I will do my best to get you what you are looking for!

It is nearly the end of the year, which means it is time for some of my favorite mashups, The 2013 year in review mashups.  True, a good majority of them are garbage but there are 2 that I always look forward to: DJ Earworm and Isosine.  Thankfully both of them were just recently released and both are very different but both great.

Isosine takes a 'break' approach.  Instead of mixing all of the tracks into one long continuous mix, he breaks them up into sections with different tempos and feelings.  This works really well, because he fits a good number of songs into each section and still makes each flow really well.  Trying to fit too many songs into one can sometimes have the opposite effect and feel congested, which is why I really like the direction that Isosine took his mix this year!  Also, he does an incredible mashing up the videos as well.  Plus, who doesn't love a free song :)  Enjoy!

Next up is DJ Earworm, who honestly is very hit and miss in my opinion.  I would say about half of his mashups blow me away while the other half just seem to be too much and uninteresting.  This years flows really well, taking the road of the slower tempo for a good portion in order to get the flow of the mashup going, and then driving into a bit of speed once it is developed.  Full of songs I enjoyed hearing and others that I never want to hear again.  Overall though, a very solid mashup and one of his better ones.  Check it out and I will see you all back here tomorrow!
