Next up for the guys, youtube clips from Soulwax and Erol Alkan dj sets have been making the rounds with particular attention being paid to a yet unreleased Soulwax MGMT “Kids” remix.  

Im the last person to ask for yet another MGMT remix, but my gosh this one is a banger.  Definitely the best MGMT remix so far.  Check out a set rip of the track below and join the hype bandwagon eagerly awaiting it’s release.

Mashups are great.  It’s all about the novelty of hearing a song in an entirely different context, bringing attention to different elements that you wouldn’t notice.  True, a lot of mashups are nothing but functional dancefloor fillers, but there are also some really good works of art in the mashup world.  Here are some examples.  They are both from mix CDs but still highly listenable as songs.

The Beatles vs Kraftwerk – Tour Da Elenor Rigby (Soulwax Remix)
