Comment:

It's been pretty crappy weather out, so I hoped quickly putting together something fun and dancey (with just a little bit of rap mixed in) would brighten things up a bit. Gets a little chill-out-ish towards the end though. By the way, the Avalanches tune is from an out-of-print EP (from when they were more of an "abstract hip hop" group) but is totally worth seeking out on your favorite filesharing system, as it's one of the great lost party anthems of the 90's. "Cocaine! Bubbly! Whee! That's rock city!".

This is a good dance mix. I especially like 2, 4, 6, 10 and 11. I give you a lot of credit for the second track. People seem to be split on the mash-up trend. Personally, I think it's fantastic. I also predict "Demon Days" is going to sell tons of copies. I'm surprised you can dance to the last track. Not even Zero 7 can warm that track up enough for me to dance to it.

I kind of understand the antipathy towards the mashup thing because, well, anyone with filesharing and a copy of ACID can do it, so for every good one there's one that's just plain shoddy (i.e. for every Grey Album there's a Jay-Zeezer). The Radiohead remix was kind of a last minute addition, for some reason it was the first thing already on my hard drive that could be vaguely qualified as a "slow jam". Thom Yorke's chilly distorted vocals (not to mention lines like "do not cry out or hit the alarm, you know we're friends till we die") and the sexy chillout backing Zero 7 give it are definitely a pretty odd matchup, but I still think it's a pretty cool remix. Also, the mix title is a little inaccurate I guess, because it wasn't specifically designed for dancing, just to have some grooves going in the background.
