**Note about the above track: I never thought I’d see the day that Beiber would be on the K. I hate him. But for some reason this mashup with MSTRKRFT works out all right. Take a listen and see for yourself. Hopefully you guys still respect me.

I’m so happy right now to be introducing a kickass new company to everyone here on The Kollection. I’ve been talking with Atone Clothing Ltd, an apparel company out of Colorado Spring, CO, for a few weeks now, and we’ve finally worked out a really awesome advertising deal that you guys will love. See that new banner of there in the right sidebar? Yeah, that’s them, Atone Clothing.
This is The Kollection’s first sponsor, and I couldn’t be happier with the company that we are collaborating with. Atone Clothing is a startup business, just like The Kollection, and man these guys are doing some amazing work with their designs and clothing, and every new product they release continues to amaze me.
For this introduction post, I wanted to welcome Sam Vinson, the founder, to have a brief Q&A session with The Kollection so you guys can find out what Atone is all about. Take a look:
How did Atone Clothing Ltd. get started? What was your motivation to start a clothing company?
In the early days Atone was just a creative outlet; a means by which I could get the stencils and other street-art based material out into the world in a legal way. After a little while of peddling shirts made out of my basement to friends and acquaintances it began to become self-sustaining and since then I’ve just let it grow. The way I see it Atone is an organism rather than organization, my job is just to feed it and watch it grow.
What is your main focus when you design/print new apparel?
Really just to make people think and to make something that identifies with the buyer on a different level, to create something that really plays into that persons daily life or ideology whether it be anything from music, art, war or flat out hometown pride.
Where do you find inspiration for your designs?
I always have to keep myself grounded in my graffiti roots, because street art is more pure than producing apparel. What I mean is in my experience in graffiti whether it be getting my name up or making a stencil that survives getting buffed out, its on a personal level in that what you choose to put down is a part of you, not driven by profit or personal fame, recognition or gain. It’s hard at times to keep this ideology when in the business world, but I always have to stay connected to my roots of inky aerosol fingertips.
What does Atone mean to you?
Atone to me is a word that can fall under a lot of meanings. It relates to the political or social undertone in some parts of the collection as far as drawing attention to ways where we as a whole can correct ourselves, but also the personal implication of the word. In that sense, Atone is an action you take after you make a self-reevaluation by just looking at what’s around you in a different way, even if its just a piece of your inner kid.
Any words for The Kollection readers?
Keep listening! Music defines us, and I couldn’t ask for a better kollection of the new voices and beats in the music scene than what they have going.
Stay fresh!
Samuel J. Vinson, Founder
So there you have it everyone, Atone + Kollection = dope threads and fresh music. I recommend that you guys check out Atone’s shop or become a fan on their Facebook page.
Below is my favorite shirt design they have, check it out:
Yesterday morning my server crashed. Apparently all of the sites I had running were killing the memory and my host had to shut it down. I like to think it’s because you guys were listening to too many songs! Anyways, I called them up immediately and bought an upgraded server, specifically for The Kollection. They warned me that there would be some downtime while all my files were migrated…30 hours later, and here we are.
The last 30 hours have been incredibly frustrating. Mostly because the site hasn’t been up for you guys to get new music and I haven’t been able to share all the new music I’ve been finding.
For now, however, it looks like the site is back up and running full steam. I’m going to start taking some measures to reduce the load on my servers so that you all can enjoy a faster, more enjoyable Kollecting experience.
So thank you everyone for crashing my server and costing me a lot of money. Also, thanks for your awesome support – don’t stop crashing my server. I’d rather be upgrading than downgrading any day. Kollect on!
Volume Six of Mashup Monday has arrived! This week has some really great tracks by established mashup artists as well as a feature by a brand new masher. In this week’s volume you’ll find mashups of a ton of really cool artists like Lil Wayne, Boston, Usher, T Swift, Nirvana, Calvin Harris, Empire of the Sun, Blue Scholars, Phoenix, Ke$ha, and more. I’ve got a couple relaxed tracks along with some more party-oriented songs. Listen to em all and enjoy, download, and Kollect.

So here it is, an EXCLUSIVEpre-release of The MashMatician’s first full length album! But first here’s a short bio: The MashMaticians are a duo comprised of DJ Zesty and Gudda Gallin. They formed the mash up group in late 2009 to take their first venture into the world of mash ups . They look for unique and unusual mixes for their mash ups giving listeners a new way of hearing their favorite songs. The MashMaticians will be adding a third member to the group moving forward as well as doing shows with some of the biggest names in the DJ and Mash Up world.
As you can tell, these guys are obviously blowing up on the mash-up scene and I am so stoked to have this exclusive for them! Here’s a little bit about what these two have to say about there new album title: The MashoChist is the debut album for the group. The album title comes from the word “Masochist” which is someone who enjoys or derives pleasure from receiving pain or punishment. A MashoChist, therefore, is someone who enjoys mash ups, or who derives pleasure from listening to them. By flipping the switch on the word “Masochist” the album not only reflects who The MashMaticians are but also who their fans are.
This duo has been crankin’ out bangin’ mash-ups for almost a year now and show no signs of letting up. These are not the usual songs that you hear getting thoughtlessly shoved into one mish-mash of gnarly sounding pop culture… No these are something entirely different. The MashMaticians actually take some time to make sure these songs are perfect and flow through your speakers without sounding chopped up. They never cease to impress me so show ‘em some love, listen below, and download the entire album from their Bandcamp when it is released on August 1st! (Link at bottom of page)

You heard me right. Today I’d like to introduce our third contributor to The Kollection team, Woodz. He’s a good friend of mine from UT Austin who’s got some ill tracks he’s been sending me the past few weeks. Instead of him sending them to me now, he’ll be posting them directly here at The Kollection. I’m really excited for our continued growth (wait until you see month two’s stats!) and it’s incredible the amount of love you guys are sending. I’m getting tracks left and right, and I’m really glad you guys are as much on board this site as I am. Keep listening, downloading, and give a warm welcome to Woodz – his first 3 posts will be released tomorrow. Kollect on…
