Popping And Locking

On my other page, I have a new entry up devoted to a pair of electro tunes. It's natural then that I talk about a pair of mashups here which involve songs from that genre.

The first one is known as Me Against The Rockit and it's found at this popbytes page. To clarify, the song is from Jimmi Jammes, a DJ that's still around doing mashups for a few years now. He's a familiar name to me, in other words. That mashup is a miracle in that it made me care about a Britney song that was made after 2001! Since that year, pretty much every song I've heard from her has been crap-ola, when to be honest, before that some of the tunes were perfectly fine pop.

The second tune is from a pair of DJ's that I've mentioned more than once before here, but this tune is absolutely germane to this discussion, so they'll be brought up again. I'm referring to DJs Adrian & The Mysterious D, whose song Don't Stop Believin' in Planet Rock can be found on their website here. Journey plus Afrika Bambaataa may sound strange, but hey, it works great if you haven't had the opportunity to check it out yet.

So, with those two tunes you can tag some graffiti on the nearest brick wall before putting on your fingertip-less gloves and adadas tracksuit as you do the backslide and the spin around with the other b-boys and b-girls out there.

Anyhow, I'll be back this upcoming Friday with another mashup or two to spotlight.
