Bastoblast – Basic Physics & Yoni

When I got a hold of this track, I couldn’t tell you how stoked I was. Basic Physics & Yoni going in on the same track was going to be good…and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Basto’s Again and Again track, Rihanna’s We Found Love, and Porter Robinson’s Vandalism are the focal points of the track yet the smaller details of Posner, Skrillex, Empire of the Sun, and yes, even J.Lo really bring the track together. Basto’s instrumental gives the track that upbeat party feel, while all the vocal samples work in a flawless flowing manner. No vocal seemed out of place, and really to capture the essence of the beat at that particular moment. Example – Posner’s calmer and softer vocals at the 1:45 mark complements the more passive beat that was playing. So even though it’s not Mashup Monday, this mashup collaboration is worthy to be played and added to your Kollection – maybe even as a 15k fan celebratory track.

Another World – Skizzy Mars

Well this is an interesting new release that just popped up out of the blue! Skizzy creates something vastly different than we’ve heard before, and chances are it’ll take you a couple listens to vibe through it. It’s got a superfuturistic, electro-indie inspired feel [credit to the Chemical Brothers sample], and Skizzy’s immaturity comes through in his almost-spoken opening lyrics. It’s perfectly okay, though – I really start to love it at 1:12. To all the 15k+ fans out there and beyond…Kollect above!

“I get love – don’t give it back.”

      Wasn’t feeling it at first and im a huge skizzy fan, but it hit me the second time through that this was something new and different for a this young guy. Expect to continue to hear great things from you skizzy. Oh and the genre is Skizz.

        You do know that facebook friends don’t translate into real life friends, right?

          Yes…Yes, I know this Peter. It’s a sad reality I’ve been dealing with since day one of this whole Kollection internet site.

              Are your staff writers able to win these prizes? I saw that somebody who says they are a writer for you has over 200 likes and over 50 comments.

                Zach, I did not have a barrier to entry for our writers – the person in question is not currently a staffed writer, however. He does contribute content to The Kollection. Thanks!

                Sometimes – Cam Meekins

                I’ll admit it, I’m not the biggest Cam Meekins fan. Usually. He’s impressed me on a few occasions, Landslide, The Reason, and Comes to an End, were all songs that showed a different side of Cam. A side that I liked better than the stereotypical white rapper that I see in his other music. This weeks drop on “Meekins Monday,” showed me that side of Cam that I like. With a laid back beat, and lyrics I can relate to, keep this style Cam.

                  Kap Slap – Kaskade Found Love EP

                  This quite possibly could be on of my favorite Mashup Mondays to date. My reasoning? Kap Slap’s brand new, freshly dropped Kaskade Found Love EP. From the man himself – “Here it is! Accompanying the new single are two re-edits I made to spice up some old favorites”. Spice up? How about almost tear my speaker system up? The brand new single Kaskade Found Love is plain dope. Making full use of Kaskade’s Turn It Down, Nero’s Crush On You, and Rihanna’s We Found Love left me absolutely blown away. Nero and Rihanna work flawlessly together, and Kaskade can’t do wrong. These are 3 tracks that you don’t want to miss and most certainly are guaranteed to amp your weekend party(ies) to insanity.

                    That second song is dope!!!!!!!!

                    • [...] one is for your next Saturday night dance party. From the Kap Slap 3-song EP, Kaskade Found Love this is easily my favorite. For everyone who loves Rihanna’s stereotypical yet addicting [...]

                      Mashup Monday No. 31

                      So today just feels like it’s going to be a good Monday. We got a healthy mix of mashups for today and the more I listen to them, the more I enjoy them. I’ve come to expect great stuff from Yoni, Mashup-Germany, and of course Xaphoon. It’s been awhile since I had heard anything new from Xaphoon, but he doesn’t disappoint with his Marvin & Chardonnay track. Not at the same level as his classic I Wanna Know Now, but this new track more than holds its own.

                      Of the final 3 tracks, it’s hard for me to honestly say which one I enjoy the most. DJ i6, Vico Ono, and DOSVEC absolutely kill it with each’s respective track. I6 gives us a pure electro dance mashup that had me moving and grooving almost instantaneously. Favorite part has to be the Vamos A La Playa vocal sample – perfect pairing that will get that party going. Vico Ono’s track is a 1 v 1 mash that combines Kavisnky’s Nightcall instrumental with Biggie’s Big Poppa. I straight up love the Nightcall sample, and it somehow seems to give Biggie more of an edge. Then we got DOSVEC, who is skyrocketing up my list of preferred mashers and his Feeling Good track is a perfect example of why.

                      So take a listen and tell me these tracks don’t make your Monday better. And as always – Kollect On!

                        Wow, that biggie mash up is great. Love good mash ups for him, seeing as though he obviously can’t come out with new stuff
