0612 - Yearly Mashups Incoming

We are getting to that time of the year where the yearly mashups start to flow in and the first one is already in and delicious.  Isosine's nonstop Pop 2015 is out and it is fantastic, melding more songs than I could count into an almost 7 minute masterpiece.  One of the big focus songs is Where Are U Now, and though not a fan of the original, I like the mashup work done with it.  Overall, very well done and I can't wait to see how it stacks up against the rest of the yearly mashups coming soon!

Isosine - Nonstop Pop 2015

0560 - Free, Funk, Mashed

Isosine is the king of mashups.  Everything he does is usually either "how the fuck did he think of that" or "oh my god this guy is a fucking genius".  His new summer mix is more the second one.  Its a pretty great mashup that goes for about 11 minutes, true there are some jump cuts in it but it still blows my mind.  Plus the continuous mashed up video is always a bonus.  Give it a listen and let it help you relax your weekend away!  Also, head to the youtube page for a free download!

Also up today is a FutureFunk collab for the ages, GRiZ and Big Gigantic come together to make Good Times Roll.  This track is literally as off the chain as you can be.  It has everything you want, horns, catchy vocals, a great build, and a drop that just has amazing instrumentation and feel.  Give it a listen, and funk up your day!

0470 - What the Mashup?

Mashups have been missing from this blog for some time, mostly because the ones I find are either too chaotic and congested or just leaving too much to be desired.  I like the ones that you have to listen to a few times because they just don't make any sense.  That is why I like Isosine, he always makes insane mashups and his new one is exactly that.  Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold used to be one of my favorite songs in high schools, but I never imagined it with the poppy back that is California Girls by Katy Perry.  Its uncomfortable and strange, but jesus christ is it catchy.  Its bizarre and even after a handful of listens, I still can't determine if I like it or if it is going to drive me insane.  What do you think?

Isosine - Bat Country Gurls

0410 - Manic Monday

Isosine is back with another long mashup, 26 songs in 13 minutes.  I love these long mashups because it gives them so much more freedom, and jumping styles in the middle is encouraged.  This one really brings some crazy segments together, and watching the video really helps to set the mood because he mashes up the music videos as well.  Also its nice that he puts the songs currently played in the bottom left so that everyone can follow along.  Altogether, a great mashup with diversity, excitement, and chill elements.

Also today I have one of the weirdest songs I have ever heard for your beautiful ears.  I can't tell what I think about this song.  Its annoying, catchy, bizarre, and for sure unique.  It uses distorted vocal samples as a lot of the tonality, and at points its annoying but at others its very cool.  Overally a very strange song and I wanted your opinion on it!  What do you think?

Isosine Summer Mix 2014

OMFG - I Love You

0405 - The Error is Gone, It's Safe to Come Out

Good News!  I got my mixer back from Sam Ash!  So this means I can get back to working on the progressive funk mix I had going, and hopefully have it ready by the time we hit 10k page views!

Originally today I was going to play Isosine's new mashup but the more and more I listen to it, the more I really just don't have any idea what the fuck it is.  Give it a listen yourself and tell me if it makes any sense to you.

Isosine - The Perfect Drug (Taylor Swift vs. Nine Inch Nails)

Instead I decided to focus today on a bouncy and really stellar song from Razihel, on the Monstercat Label.  This one has great tonality and doesn't overwhelm you with the heaviness of the bass, which is usually my main problem with this genre.  I like bounce, but some of it is just noise for the sake of noise.  This one I really liked though, and there may be more bounce to come.

Razihel - Children of the Night

0369 - Sequential Yearly Review

Back on the train of yearly mashups we have the other big one that comes out every year, the mashup from Isosine.  He is responsible for such masterpieces as Psycosocial Baby (Slipknot/Justin Beiber) and Float on Easy (Avenged Sevenfold/Modest Mouse).  A true king of the mashup genre, he has faced issues due to youtube's copyright laws but always seems to come out the other side with stuff that is better than before.  This year's mashup is really good, featuring 43 of the top songs from the year.  Its a little more relaxing and chill then the past installments, but that doesn't mean the mashup isn't flawless.  Give it a listen and let me know in the comments if you like this one or DJ Earworm's year mashup best.

Isosine - Non Stop Pop 2014

0331 - It's an IsoSine

If you were around in the early days of this blog, you might remember some Isosine mashups being posted.  Well apparently he disappeared for a little bit and has been running into some copyright issues with youtube (because he likes to mashup up the videos too which is apparently a no no), but he is back!  His new mashup takes the background of a Lady Gaga Song, Vocals from Schoolboy Q and BoB, and feat T.I. and Juicy Jay.  Its got great flow and the dominant parties of Schoolboy Q and Lady Gaga go extremely well.  I hope this means he is back and more mashups are en route, or maybe another album!

Also off his new album Dance Floor Filth 2 (a free download), 3LAU brings us an incredible edit of Kernkraft 400's classic track Zombie Nation.  It has incredible flow and I can easily see this killing at festivals, sporting events, and maybe even block parties!

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!

DJ Earworm - United States of Pop 2013 (Living the Fantasy)

051 - Listen. Then Judge. It will not disappoint, you have my word.

Mashups can be both exciting and terrifying.  Its awesome to hear someone do a great combination of two songs that shouldn't work but do in a fantastic way, but then its horrible to hear someone ruin one of your favorite songs buy sloppily putting it together with something that sounds like a dying animal.  I will be honest, upon seeing Isosine's new mashup I was concerned.  Disturbed and Of Monsters and Men? Scary to say the least.  But trust in Isosine, the same guy who gave us the great combinations of Slipknot/Justin Beiber and Avenged Sevenfold/Modest Mouse.  It really shouldnt work, but it does and it will blow you away.  Enjoy!

022/023 Day 3 of catch up week....Onions?

Hello, Hello everyone! Welcome to Thursday of Condiment Catch-up week!  Today we can play...i dont know... ONIONS! Sure, onions.  Today I bring you two fresh tracks that will keep your head bumping for sure.
022- The first is the new one from Hellberg and Deutgen, some of Monstercat's finest artists.  This is a heavy house song that should be stuck in your head for a long time, catchy vocals, an incredible drop, the whole thing will blow you away.

022- Hellberg & Deutgen - The End (Follow My Heart)

023- The second track today is part one of a 20min mashup by the king of unsuspected Mashups, Isosine.  If you like stuff that shouldn't work but does, you will really like his stuff.  Also, check out part two if you like it!

023- Isosine - Ninezero

019/020/021 - Today we Play Relish

Three more songs for ya in an attempt to get back on track with the music, Here we go.
019 - Since Mashup Monday was skipped entirely, lets throw a mashup in the mix. Those who listen frequently know I am a huge fan of Ellie Goulding, and this mashup is nothing short of some of her best work. The mashup comes to us courtesy of Isosine, the same guy who did the Slipknot/Justin Beiber Mashup. Its awesome, and a little poppy, enjoy!

019 - Isosine (Chvrches x Ellie Goulding) - Starry Eyed Gun

020 - Next up is the new track from the 8-bit sensation Adhesive Wombat. Not only does he have an awesome name, but he is one of the few artists to make 8-bit exciting to listen to, as opposed to running for cover and finding earplugs. Downforce does not disappoint and will be stuck in your head for weeks to come.

020 - Adhesive Wombat - Downforce

Finally, I bring you a real treat. Monstercat has started doing a "best of" series, basically taking the best tracks they have released from each genre and making a 1 hour mix out of them. This label is incredible and I freak everytime they release a song, let alone a Best Of mix. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

021 - Monstercat - Best of Electronic Music (1 hour)
