Orbital – Halcyon (Live)

The first mashup I ever heard and loved, way back in 1996. This great live mashup interlude with Bon Jovi and Belinda Carlisle during their track Halcyon went viral (to the extent that it was possible in 1996) and these days the live version is generally viewed as being even better than the original. The track is great before the break and I highly recommend it, but I’ve skipped ahead to the mashup. As always, grab it free here.

3LAU – How You Love Me

I actually heard the acoustic version of “How You Love Me” first, which I’m happy about, because I may have dismissed the track initially otherwise. Regardless, I’ve respected 3LAU for years for his beautiful mashups and I’m happy this St. Louis dj is gaining ground doing original productions these days, despite the fact that they are not really my favorite genre: electro house/pop. Despite that, I do respect his production skills and the way he’s risen from mashup artist to respected producer/dj in his own right. The acoustic version of his recent electro/house track shows the dynamic abilities of this up-and-coming artist to the dance scene. Grab the acoustic version here, and the original here. I hope you enjoy playing the two tracks after each other and seeing the vast production skill that went into the creation of this dance hit.

EDX – Breathin’

It’s a bit progressive and pop, but that’s my roots into house so I have a special place in my heart for this sort of stuff. A little poppy for most types of house I like these days, but I can’t deny my enjoyment of this gem. Great house bass line, check it out. Grab it free with an admission of some details…

The Ting Tings – Wrong Club

It’s a bit disco, a bit funk, and certainly has the potential to be one of those summer songs that just slowly creeps into your head and doesn’t leave. I’m enjoying it more and more after each listen, judge for yourself. Oh, and grab it free here.

YELLE – A Cause Des Garcons (TEPR Remix)

Stumbled across this today and it had been awhile for me. I thought I’d share this gem because like me, you probably haven’t heard it in quite some time and are due a re-listen/watch. For those who might be viewing this music video for the first time, all I can say is enjoy, and prepare to be watching it at least a few times. Let me know if I’m wrong, but I doubt I’ll be…it’s addicting.
