There's a theme with my latest mix, I swear...I just can't think of it right now. Just by looking at the playlist, there's a lot of repeats with remixers and artists, yet the connection from one track to the next shouldn't make sense on paper. It goes from 80s to hip hop to reggae to house to electro to funk to breaks...

But really, as long as it sounds good and makes you move, who cares?

One of my favourite albums that was released this year is Raphael Saadiq's - The Way I See It. Since this album has ruled my iPod for the last couple of months, I thought I'd create a quick compilation of soul-infused R&B and hip hop melodies for this latest podcast.

Enjoy the selection and let it warm you up on these soon-to-be chilly nights.

It's been a while since I've posted anything...mainly because I've been making this mix. I pulled a bunch of gems from the 80s and 90s for this one and mashed them together with everything else.

Same old story...mixing mashups has ruled my life lately. Something about the harmonies of the Motown sound of Edwin Starr with Rihanna intrigues me. So much so, that I made a mix of mostly top-40 mashed together with music from the last 4 decades. I dare you to listen to R.Kelly's "I'm A Flirt" and not have the chorus stuck in your head. It's infectious...so don't judge me!

It's short like the last 'hip-hop electro mash-up' just so I can get started on the next one.

I hope you enjoy!

1. Introduction - Shake Whatcha Momma Gave Ya
2. Edwin Starr - Twenty Five Miles (She Lion paul remix)

A hip hop podcast...nothing more than a compilation of great hip hop songs.

I'm on this mash-up kick. I could have spent more time working on this one and kept it going, but I'm enjoying it so much that I just want to share what I've done so far. I initially wanted to keep the 'krunktronic' theme, where I was just mashing electro beats with dirty south anthems, but it turns out that I want to mix in everything I get my hands on. That means 80s, 90s and current pop hits with any kind of funky beat I could find. If it didn't fit, I tried to force it together. I took little bits and pieces of everything...and I think it shows.

1. Cino - Thang Thang/Sunglasses at Night (Corey Hart paul remix)
2. Girl Talk - Bounce That (Thomas Bangalter/Sweet Dreams paul remix)
3. M.I.A. & Ciara - 1,2 Step (Ratatat paul remix)

7. Lady Gaga - Just Dance (I Jacked Your Beat paul remix)
8. Journey - Don't Stop Believing (paul remix)
9. Spank Rock - Betty (Destiny's Child/Journey paul remix)
10. Perfect (electro ain't electro paul remix)
11. Flobots - Combat (paul remix)
12. PRM - It's My Beat Now (Deelite paul blend)

From Urban Dictionary:

"Referring to the tint on the windows, you can't see in like someone closed the drapes. Drip is the candy paint lookin' wet, like it's gonna drip. 3 six did not invent it... Lil keke's been spittin' that flo since '92.

I'm draped up and dripped out, the truth has just slipped out, 84's, Red Doors, Candy Apple Flip-Flop

I made this mix because I want to hear more hip hop over electro beats. I'm simply in that mood. I mashed a variety of electro-dance tracks together with a bunch of hip hop acapellas. It's in the same vein as A-Trak's "Dirty South Dance" and, hopefully, just as much fun.

...and, yes, that is The Reading Rainbow theme at 27 minutes.

I'm having difficulty here...I'm working on 3 different mixes right now. This means that I probably won't be able to post a real one for at least another week. In the meantime, listen to the new Diplo and Santogold mixtape called "Top Ranking".

The other day, I found a track by M.I.A. and Santogold called "Get It Up" that's featured on the mixtape. It features remixes of her own songs as well as other artists that I assume she's been inspired by. It's difficult to classify the style of songs that are on here...which is fine by me.

Give it a shot. You might like what you hear.

(oh...and if you are the artist or represent the artist and need me to remove this, just leave a comment and I'll take it off)

I don't even know what to write about this podcast. It's the second in the series and it was inspired because I will be seeing The Roots perform for the 3rd time later this month - two weeks before I head to Lollapalooza in Chicago.

Again, I don't even know what to write about it. I'm in music-listening and appreciating overdrive.

Here's "This Is Hip Hop".

This is a podcast for those moments where you feel nostalgic for that classic hip hop and when you need that old school boom bap beat. Even if you haven't consciously thought about it before, play this mix and listen to the sultry sounds that are not only harmony-mixed...but blended with care. You'll soon discover that you can now define that mood you once thought you couldn't define. Crazy, hey?

So enjoy the sounds of 80s and 90s hip hop at it's finest.

Since I seem to use so many MSTRKRFT tracks in my mixes, I decided that it would make sense to create a 'best-of MSTRKRFT' mix. See? It only makes sense.

So here are most of my favourite tracks that MSTRKRFT has made even better! In addition, I sprinkled in a few of their originals as well. Word on the 'net is that MSTRKRFT will be releasing a new album in September. In the meantime, they've been consistently putting out remixes over the last couple of years. They've even began treading the pop-music market. I don't seem to mind...I now enjoy that Usher song.

16. Annie - Heartbeat (MSTRKRFT remix)
17. Death From Above 1979 - Sexy Results (MSTRKRFT remix)

This is a hip hop mix that I did sometime in 2006. As you can see from the tracklist, there are a lot of songs, yet the whole mix is only 50 minutes. I cut each track down to 1 or 2 minutes, leaving only the verses I like and I mixed the hell out of the rest. It was the first time I really put a vocal track over another beat, creating a blend of 2 songs. Most of the songs are blended into each other and the rest are tied in with interludes and other sounds. It's one of those mixes where I look back and shake my head because I think I spent much too much time doing things that only I'll be able to hear...unless you really know the songs well.

One of the blends that I was most happy with is the Lupe Fiasco vocal track for Kick, Push that I put over Kanye's beat he gave Cam'ron for the song, Down and Out. I'm not a fan of Cam'ron...especially what he raps over that beat, but I absolutely love that beat. It's at about 26:00 minutes if you want to skip and quickly check it out!

This podcast is a compilation of songs from artists I've been listening to for the last few weeks. Most of them are by bands I'll be seeing at Lollapalooza this year. All of them are on constant rotation in my car and headphones.

The thing is, I'm a little worried. The high-level of hipster groove and soul within this collection has brought me to the point where I must warn you if you plan on listening to it straight through:

This compilation will rock your socks. I have personally been through 3 pairs of gray Costco socks - it actually puts the 'r' in 'rock-socking'. It's disgusting.

Be afraid.

Oh, and Santogold leads the pack. My socks flee my feet and run in pairs when they hear her name.

1) Santogold - Shove It (feat. Spank Rock)
2) Spank Rock - Rick Rubin (President Eutl remix) (3:30)
3) M.I.A. - 20 Dollar (6:53)

9) Van She - Strangers (Van She Tech Remix) (26:05)
10) Bloc Party - The Prayer (Does It Offend You, Yeah? Remix) (29:51)
11) Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Doomed Now (33:08)
12) Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (XXXChange Remix) (36:42)

That's pretty much what I was thinking when I heard the remix of Teenager's "Alone Again" by VAN SHE. They have a great way of cutting up the sample and fueling it with 80’s post punk, funk and synth pop. I began mixing that track with a Louis La Roche song before I realized that all I wanted to do was play VAN SHE remixes. So I blended a bunch of them together.

The great thing about VAN SHE is that they are, first and foremost, an Aussie band...not a 'remix band'. Their debut album, "V", comes out in August on Modular Records. On this album they worked with producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Ladytron, Kasabian).

What I've been most impressed with is the remixes they've done. Their 'sound' blends well together so I tried to make a VAN SHE 'remix-mega-mix' without screwing around too much. So, take the next 48-minutes and enjoy.

1) Teenager - Alone Again (Van She Tech Remix)
2) Ladyhawke - Back Of The Van (Van She Tech Turbo Fire Engine Mix)
3) Dragonette - I Get Around (Van She Vocal Mix)
4) New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (Van She Tech Remix)
5) Martine Topley-Bird - Poison (Van She Mix)
6) I Am Finn - I Love You (Van She Tech Remix)
7) Feist - 1234 (Van She Remix)
8) The Bravery - Time Won't Let Me Go (Van She Tech Remix)
9) Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Van She Remix)
10) Van She - Cat and the Eye (Van She Tech Remix)

I've mixed another electro podcast. I've been looping crazy samples for the past few weeks and trying to get away with blending them into 'French house' songs...even when the artists aren't French. It was awkward at first, but now they're friends.

My goal is to make it 'Frenchier', thereby turning it into 'Frenchier house'.

Another thing about this mix is that I've finally found a pretty cool beat from an A-Trak remix that I used for the Call Me Up acapella by Chromeo. It's pretty simple, but I think it worked. Also, I did a mash up of a hellogoodbye acapella over a Digitalism beat sometime last year and I decided to include it here because I'm playing around with this voice filter that works well.

I was recently introduced to the music of Louis La Roche. He's 17, from the UK, and just released an EP called The Peach that you can download for free. He's French house squared. I mixed his title track using a loop of Yelle, which I have been playing in my head for days now.

Also, I had an urge to make a Kris Kross remix.

All in all, I'm hoping it worked and you can enjoy it.

1) Justice - Stress (Auto remix)
2) Matt & Kim - Yeah Yeah (Flosstradamus remix)
3) Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Boys Noize Happy Birthday remix)
4) Boys Noize - Oh! (paul remix b/w Chromeo)
5) hellogoodbye - All Of Your Love (paul remix b/w Digitalism)
6) Ocelot - Lo Sforzo (Your Dirty Habit remix)
7) Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Russ Chimes remix)

9) Digitalism - Pogo (The Horrors remix)

I've been waiting to put together a 'best of' Daft Punk mix for a while and here it is (and I'm actually happy with it!). Seeing them live last summer at Lollapalooza provided inspiration for the idea of using Daft Punk to chop, loop, and blend all of their greatest hits into one mega-mix (minus the MJ). Last month I began throwing together some things and here we are. I don't feel as though I held back, but I tried to keep the original tracks intact so it sounds like a glorified 'best of'.

I could have kept going and mixed much longer, but I figured I'd break this up into several hour long podcasts. Here's the first hour of The Daft Punk Mix - by me!

1. Too Long (Alive 2007)/Too Long blend
2. Digital Love (Boris Dugosh Remix)/Technologic
3. Technologic/Fresh
4. One More Time/Around the World/Technologic
5. Around the World/Television Rules the Nation
6. Television Rules the Nation/Revolution 909
7. Revolution 909/Prime Time Of Your Life (Shaun Slaughter Re-Edit)
8. Mothership Reconnection (Daft Punk Remix)/Phoenix
9. Phoenix/Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger/Da Funk
10. Da Funk/Face To Face
11. Face To Face/Burnin'/Superheroes
12. Teachers/Chord Memory (Daft Punk Remix)
13. Rollin' & Scratchin'/Together (Alive 2007)
14. Alive/Forget About The World (Daft Punk Remix)

A podcast for those times when you want to put your feet up and get lost in some music. Here are 11 acoustic, chilled-out tunes that are a perfect accompaniment for your afternoon naps, long drives, and lazy Sundays.

2) Ryan Adams - Wonderwall (3:30)
3) Kings of Leon - Milk (7:30)
4) Kate Nash - Dickhead (11:00)
