Music the second half
Jan. 5th, 2012 02:59 pmThe reason I wanted to clear the decks yesterday was to talk about the hour-long best-of mix I've been listening to much of the past week.

DJ Morgoth gives you 61 minutes of good-to-awesome. This is a best-of set, but unlike most of the others I've listened to in the past couple weeks it's got a number of things I hadn't heard yet or hadn't appreciated on first go-round. Twenty-two tracks in all, and if you've been reading me this past year you'll know most of the names. My picks for the best of the best are:
http://soundcloud.com/mashmike/sak-noel-vs-eminem-vs-yello
MashMike builds a Sak Noel mix that stands out from all the others for inventiveness. It helps if, like me, you actually like Eminem when he's not being a raving asshole. Extra bonus points for the Yello samples.

DJs from Mars are (in my book at least) the best in the business right now at producing fun party banger mixes. And I've been tagging Mashup Germany all year as a great mega-mixer. So put the two of them together and you can guess what you get - a long-form banging mega-mix with lots of great samples and hair-turn transitions. I've listened to this at least half a dozen times and I can't help bopping along each time.

Kap Slap puts together a fun and funny mash that makes me think about giving Britney the Bad Touch and how awesome that would be. And yes, it's another Journey-covering mash and yes I'm still rocking out to it 'cause I'm an ancient fogey who saw them way back when, not when Glee re-made them popular.

Finally, this is a Skrillex mix called "Dubsex" so you've got to have at least some wub tolerance here. But it's not too heavy on the wub, and really it's mostly a Nero/Alana Watson remix. I really liked the original track and it's kind of fun listening to 3LAU and Skrillex dub up Daft Punk.
