The more we mash together, the happier we'll all be.

Alright...so i was sick as a dog today: dizzy and shaking, so i fell asleep to some Divide & Kreate...actually all the Divide & Kreate i had. In my semi-delirious state, i believed that i had to listen to the whole set list before it was safe to fall asleep...which is really weird thinking about now. Never underestimate the powers of delusion of a sleep-deprived mind.

For those of you who don't know who Divide & Kreate is, he's a genius single artist who takes two songs and mixes them together so well that you couldn't tell they weren't recorded that way anyway. I think my favorite mix/mash is Lady Gaga's Just Dance vs. Eurythmics Sweet Dreams. Yeah, you wouldn't think that they're either very good or that together they would work (especially in the breakdown in the middle of the song, there is some serious mixing that he must do to make all this shit sync up) but the songs together are so rad compared to when than they are apart.

Oh and Umbrella (that Rihanna song that everyone sang even tho they hated it b/c it had that sweet ella ella ella piece. yep, that one.) gets an electrorock treatment, not mashed with something else but just remixed...and its actually tiiiiiight. So if you're looking to dance, D&K takes that mainstream shit that you would normally have to play, and instead gives it that sweeeeet hipster twist, allowing an audiophile with morals such as myself to let go and Just Dance.

So after all that rambling (i still must be a little spacey) the mix page i got all my D&K off of his own website:

Left-click/Download link has to be THE best drop down menu option ever in the history of drop down menus.

(oh and sorry about the terrible Lady Gaga pun.)
