DJ Massakerr Mashups



Very solid email submission: high-quality mashups from DJ Massakerr, aka Matthew Kerr from Canada. He has come far in his career thus far, having opened for notable artists such as Basshunter and LA Riots. He's cited his influences as Kap Slap and 3LAU. Check out his SoundCloud to see the rest of his mixes.

Rolling in the Cocaine


Penguins Don't Love


Gimmie Dat Sexy Cobra

Avicii - Don't Give Up On Us (Enough Is Enough) (Pixel Cheese Mix)



Pixel Cheese takes the original and adds some raging baselines, edgy synths, and little distortion to reproduce a surefire club classic. 8 minutes that are guaranteed to make your arms tired from fist pumping, legs weary from bouncing, and voice hoarse from yelling.

LoS - Get It (feat. XV)



LoS is back on his hip pity hop flow...he's good, but truth is, I grabbed this track for the sole reason that XV was the feature. I find his songs slowly creeping into my Top 25 Most Played list on iTunes. I hope we get to see more from him in the months to come: he's an animal.

3LAU & Acetronik - Journey Without You



3LAU and Acetronik put David Guetta ft. Usher against Felix Voya's remix of "Don't Stop Believin'" to create an instant classic...throw this on the party playlist for this weekend. Gotta party hardy before finals week(s) lock you in hell. Go gettum.

Chris Webby - There Goes the Neighborhood




There Goes the Neighborhood was set to drop 11 hours ago, but Webby pushed it back to Thursday at 12am instead. To soothe the fans over, he released the title track. Great verses, but I'm a little concerned with A. Mitch's vocals in the hook...they kind of deter Webby's overall flow. See what you think:

Timeflies - Space Jam




In honor of the NBA lockout ending, Timeflies offers this. Rez murders the sick production as he welcomes you to the Space Jam. I've always said that at first listen, Rez's voice may seem a bit mic-UNfriendly, but track after track he grows on me, and now his voice is almost a breath of fresh air, after hearing all your usual mainstream hip-hop. Grab the DL below.

Avicii - Levels (Official Video)



Best song of 2011 hands down, take a look at the video. I'd say it's hit or miss for some people, but I really think it's appropriate for this song. One YouTube user's comment caught my eye: "Avicii's Music is all about making people dance and thats the message of this video, live in the moment and do what you like." Couldn't agree more, good sir. DANCE PARTY.

Avicii & Nicky Romero - Unnamed



New collab track from two big-name stars; seems like Avicii's been busy lately. Avicii has been adamant that this track has no name yet (as seen below, as he flat out refutes Hype Machine on his Facebook page) but the blogosphere has aptly put the name "F*ck School" to it. Take a listen, and see if maybe a better name comes to mind?


Jeff Rowe - The Island of Lights



My last post was also a Pendulum remix yesterday, so I know you're thinking: "two remix posts back to back of the same song?" Why? First, because I can. And Secondly, you can honestly never go wrong with putting Ellie Goulding's vocals over any track. Instead of Jesus and Fergie, the comparative combination should be Jesus and Ellie. Yupp, I went there.

Pendulum - The Island (Cherry Coke Remix)



The Island is a very common remixed/utilized song, but as I have said many times before, piano is the key to my heart. It goes without saying that Cherry Coke won my heart out with this track. There's no arguing that they'll do the same to you. Every chord hits perfectly, making such a happy, catchy melody. Enjoy!

Avicii - Ridvan (ID 3)



Word on the street is that this is ID3, according to various reliable sources however, this track is going by the name of Ridvan. Incorporated are the synths and melodies typical to Avicii, so as ID2 has recently been confirmed as his, here's another one. I <3 Melodic House.

Ravi Parikh - Pilgrim



I know I'm a little late on the whole Thanksgiving thing, but Ravi Parikh wasn't. He dropped this track and provided electro-lovers with some Turkey Day Techno.

BotTABOOm - In Your Life (Prod. DJ Black Diamond)



Only sampling of the Black Eyed Peas "Addicted" I've ever heard, and Bottaboom nails it. His stage name sounds like a joke, but this track is everything but that. He tells a story of how he made music his priority throughout his life, and did everything to make sure he had his goals in the crosshairs. This 17 year old from Ft. Lauderdale, FL has a great mic-friendly voice and a mouth full of sharp, witty lines.

Status Worthy: "My achilles heel is wanting to be the illest."

Florence + The Machine - Take Care (Drake Cover)



My motto for Drake's album has been "Take Care of yourself and don't listen to it." Florence + The Machine brings something special to this cover of his song. In my opinion, she brings pure emotion, through her raw and edgy voice. Take a listen.

Chris Webby - What I Do (Prod. Teddy Roxpin)



It's been a while since we've heard from Chris Webby, but with some dope production from Teddy Roxpin, he murders this one. It's good see him on his grind again with his clowny lyrics and wordplay. "L ride around town and be back for lunch, got a full plate of beats and some Captain Crunch."

The Jane Doze - We Found Darkness (Avicii vs. Rihanna)



This female mashup duo made up of Claire and Jen are straight outta NY, and do a damn good job reppin' the city that never sleeps. They compose this banger of two extremely well-known songs that fit so well together. This definitely keeps NY (and everyone else) partying till the wee hours of the morning.

David Guetta ft. Sia - Titanium (Alesso Remix)



Remember that Upcoming Electro/House Anthems post I did? Well here is the first full-length track of those three anthems. Alesso, who is quickly gaining a spot among legends like Avicii, Hardwell, and Tiesto, takes on the track of an electro all-star David Guetta. We'ver heard plenty of remixes before, but it goes without saying that this is the best. The first 1:15 sounds like the original, and then in comes the building white noise effect, echoing synths, and finally my favorite, the melodic goodness that Alesso (and other great producers always nail down to a tee). Hello repeat button.

Colon Dee - Dilated (Remake)



Colon Dee aka :D, who comes straight from University of New Haven, drops bars over a dope sample. Don't know too much about him, but he's headed in the right direction. Keep sending over the goodies.

Ravi Parikh (of Sex Ray Vision) - Cotton Candy



The 1/2 of Sex Ray Vision continues to prove himself as a talented and versatile DJ/producer. Keep on keepin' on.

IanJ - Coming For You



Off the upcoming mixtape Happy Birthday, this track features verses and vocals from Kentucky native IanJ and instrumentals from Wolfgang Gartner's "Illmerica." His songs just keep confirming his self-proclaimed genre: "hip-pop."

Avicii - Enough is Enough (Don't Give Up On Us)



After a few months of a bootleg version, Avicii unleashes the CDQ, and it's nothing short of awesome. Great vocals from Yolanda Selini and a catchy melodic "hook." Even some orchestra strings in between...this guy can't go wrong.

Alesso - Raise Your Head (Original Mix)



Alesso is godly. The way he manipulates the sound board is unreal. This is probably his "darkest" sounding track thus far, but no judgement, because its unbelievable. He's gotta have some kind of OCD or something because every melody and baseline is almost too crisp and precise. Bang(er).

Teejay - See You Now



I love unknowns like this, enter the blogging world and drop dope verses on us. The topic is pretty cliche: being the best, getting to the top, cups in the air, etc. If you can jam to any other mediocre rapper, then you can surely jam to this kid's tight flow.

Sam Adams - Blow Up



I always dig Sam Adams' samples, though the producer for this one remains unnamed. To me, this track talks about his rise to fame, and how his music career was about getting to the top of his genre. And now that he's peaking, he faces the pressure of succeeding, as opposed to the pressure of just releasing tracks and albums. "I've been working all night man, what's a young kid gotta do to blow up?"

Swedish House Mafia - Save The World (CAZZETTE Angry Swedish Hunter Mix)



This is what the world gets for SHM reaching 2,000,000 Facebook fans. I expected an original track, but this is pretty monstrous too. I can really see why it was coined an "angry" swedish hunter mix. Full of edgy, glitchy electro, this track could start a riot.

Upcoming Electro/House Anthems



When these full tracks are released upon the music world, all hell is going to break loose...mark my words. These are three potentials anthems that are going to be fighting for the top spot, similar to Avicii's Levels. (Though we all know, nothing will ever compare to that.) My personal favorite is the second preview (Axwell's recut version of Resurrection.) Even though its just a preview, it's been on repeat for days.

David Guetta - Titanium (Alesso Remix) [PREVIEW]


Michael Calfan - Resurrection (Axwell's Recut Club Version) [PREVIEW]


Tim Berg - Before This Night Is Through [PREVIEW]

The Hood Internet - The Way Marvin Was



The Hood Internet is a Chicago based production duo that you may not have heard of, however, they are actually a big name in the mashup game. They neatly place Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay over Wolfgang Gartner. Great vibe.

Snow Patrol - This Isn't Everything You Are



A little alternative/rock curveball for ya. Remember Snow Patrol? Remember "Chasing cars?" I have a new offering from them here (their second single) off their upcoming 6th studio album, due out soon!


Click to DL "This Isn't Everything You Are"

Patrick Stump ft. Lupe Fiasco - This City (Breathe Electric Remix)



Hometown pride. Even if my hometown is a mini suburbia of only 6000 people, this song made me think back and reflect on the good old days of walking around everywhere and knowing everybody I see. Oh Miami how different you are..."This city is my city. I was born and raised here, I got it made here."

Calvin Harris - Bounce (Corbin Hayes Remix)



This reminds me a lot of Madeon's style with the really clear, melodic runs of the synth. You don't really hear this kind of pure electro music anymore...it's kind of upsetting. Thank you Corbin Hayes for bringing it back.

Chiddy Bang - Ray Charles



First track off their upcoming album entitled Breakfast, being release February 28th, 2012. "The song actually started out as a joke when my brother, Cheeseburger Don, got so high he fell asleep in the studio with his sunglasses on," says Chiddy Bang.

5 & A Dime - June Is Soon



Busta + Flux Pavilion + Datsik + Pretty Lights. Seems like the boundaries between rap and dubstep are becoming ever so faint nowadays. Enjoy!

Avicii -Levels (Hardwell Bootleg)



Starts out quite like the original, then bang! Say hello to some heavy, hard-sitting bass that's almost too typical of Hardwell's tracks. I can see why it's a bootleg: this track must have got the venue absolutely raging at his live shows.

Avicii x The Knocks - Dancing With Avicii (Captain Cuts Bootleg)



Another levels mashup.

David Guetta - Titanium (Alesso Remix) [Preview]



Alesso's sound is absolutely beautiful. And on that note, I have nothing else to say but that I cannot wait till the full track is released.

Royce Da 5'9, Crooked I, Deph Naught - Lemme Go (Ft. Zawles)



Royce Da 5'9's voice is just so...fierce? His raps are always the toughest. This beats kinda goofy (with the saxophone, it sounds like a Disney theme--Aladdin-esque?) but Royce handles it with no problems.

IanJ - Hang Over From You



This a single off IanJ's next mixtape which is due up very shortly. Similar to Pop Culture, he'll go over the beats from various well-known songs. Here he takes on Taio Cruz's Hangover. If you listen to his words, you might actually feel bad for the girl he's singing about. Even though it's not hard to, IanJ makes the original 10 times better.

Rihanna - You Da One



A little late on this one, it's been in my iTunes library for about 4 days now, which means it's probably already begin played on every Top 40 radio station. Straight off her new upcoming album Talk That Talk.

Kap Slap - E.T. Feels Starry Eyed



An oldy, but Carl Domingo, a friend of mine who's up at RIT, reminded me of it's...well...awesomeness. I love Ellie Goulding, I love Modestep, I love Busta Rhymes, and E.T. is just such a catchy song. Kap Slap knows how to combine the best elements of tracks and win my heart over....I'm in love.

Ravi Parikh (of Sex Ray Vision) - Forcefield



Ravi Parikh, half of the DJ duo from Stanford, decides to branch out on his own to try to gain acclaim as a solo DJ. Can't blame him if he puts out this banger as his first track. I can't wait till the mashup artists hop on this one.

DJ 21azy - Free Chillin' [Wale vs. Chamillionaire]



Kevin Nelson ada DJ 21azy has been killin' it these past few weeks. This time he combines Chamillionaire's "Good Morning" with verses of Wale's old school classic "Chillin.'" A match made in heaven.

Wynter Gordon - Buy My Love (Fareoh Remix)



This is totally an Avicii-esque remix: it hits you hard with the synth chords. Well done Fareoh.

Timeflies - Party Rock



Timeflies murdering the beat with their own version of Party Rock Anthem. Rez uses the NYTimes to spit out a nasty freestyle on the mic. Check it.

Gym Class Heroes - The Fighter



The next radio hit right here. I'm not one for typical mainstream music, but something about this track is so damn catchy. The chorus is guaranteed to get stuck in your head, and the verses are just too melodically supple to not enjoy. I'm nothing short of impressed by GCH latest releases.

Meek Mill - Ima Boss (Remix) (feat. Rick Ross, T.I., Lil Wayne, Swizz Beatz, & Birdman)



Meek Mill supported by an all-star cast of superstars, goes in on this remix. It has only premiered on the radio, hence the censors and tags, but that doesn't change the fact that each of these legends drops a tough verse on this even tougher beat.

Basic Physics & Yoni - Bastoblast



These two mashup handymen team up to create a monster party track, combining Skrillex, Basto, Rihanna, Porter Robinson, JLo, and many more. Spoiler alert: it gets real grimy at 2:45, softies beware. It's Thursday, it's party time.

Jay Fresh - Amazing




From his upcoming The Delta Project, Amazing is an electro/rap track with sampling from Pretty Lights in the background. He tells a meaningful story, revealing memories from his childhood and how he learned to do what he loved. "The feeling was amazing."

Camo & Krooked - James Bond Theme



This was bought to me by my boy Chris Jones a week ago. It's the remade Bond Theme Song for the new game coming out. "The N64 would have literally exploded from this intro," Chris told me. And he really wasn't lying. I love modernness of it: a little dubstep and a little electro. However, it still manages to preserve the original, world-renowned theme song.

Viceroy- Sunburn EP + Bonus Remix



As the first week of November comes to a close, and the onset of winter begins, Viceroy drops a chill, summery EP that will hopefully defrost your fingers and toes and bring you back to the days of sitting on the beach with your feet in the sand. And if that's not enough, he includes a bonus remix of Rihanna's "We Found Love." Thought it's quite the "over-remixed" song, Viceroy does something to it that no artist does...he brings his own genre to the mainstream track. You've probably heard countless techno, house, or hip-hop remixes to Rihanna songs, but this...this is something else. "Some beach somewhere, there's a big umbrella casting shade over an empty chair. Palm trees are growing, warm breezes blowing. I picture myself there, some beach somewhere." --Unknown

DOSVEC - Feeling Good



Straight outta the Big Apple, DOSVEC, who's name headlines the recently posted his B.o.B./Zeds Dead track, combines what seems like the Top 40 tracks from the past few months into a track thats sure to make you Feel Good. It's an all-around, high-quality mashup.

DJ Trademark - Young Love



Rihanna, Calvin Harris, LMFAO, and  Bruno Mars are among the many snippets DJ Trademark weaves together to create yet another flawless mashup, only two weeks after releasing his EP The Afterparty.


Kap Slap - Kaskade Found Love [EP]



3 track EP from an artist familiar to the mashup game...2 out of 3 are dubstep edits (light and tolerable, no worries), while the other one is has a house/trance feel. Take a listen, I'm pretty sure you're going to like what you hear.

Childish Gambino - Camp (Full Stream)



Full stream of Gambino's album, set to be released on 11/15. Lyrical ingenuity.

Adriana Labella’s Cover



This should have a hell of a lot more than 4000 views. The blogging world is seeing a young Regina Spektor here? This is her cover of multiple songs that you should be able to name easily. This is nothing but earcandy.

DiBella - Dirty Electric Moves
