Going away for a little while

I've got some important business to take care of, so there won't be any new mash-ups for a while. Sorry to disappoint. :(

The Beastie Boys Noize

DJ Dain - The Beastie Boys Noize (Boys Noize & A-Track vs. The Beastie Boys)

Hip-Hop vocals on a Four-on-the-Floor beat. If I can track down enough Beastie Boys' acapellas I'm quite tempted to mash-up the whole "Oi Oi Oi" album by Boys Noize.

The Boom Boom Pow Sounds Better With You

DJ Dain - The Boom Boom Pow Sounds Better With You (Stardust vs. The Black Eyed Peas)

I actually made this mash-up several months ago, so I've taken a big risk since this particular Black Eyed Peas' single will probably have been played to death by this point. Even so, I can't get over how these two tracks complement each other. Every "Boom Boom Boom" line seems to match perfectly with the chords from the Stardust track - not to mention the little "Gotta get that" match-up with the short guitar riffs at the end of each set of four beats.

I Won't Tell 'em 'bout the High Life

DJ Dain - I Won't Tell 'em 'bout the High Life (Daft Punk vs. Fat Joe feat. J. Holiday)

At this rate I think I'm going to end up mashing every Daft Punk song! This Fat Joe vocal seemed really fitting for this, often unappreciated, Daft Punk track. The lyrics reflect the kind of expensive lifestyle he can offer, so why not back that up with a glitzy French-House beat? Heck, with a name like "High Life" they were almost meant for each other.
