This is probably DOSVEC’s most popular mashup that he has created. Fans having been begging for some righteous visuals to match this smooth mash, with 100,000 views on just the audio of the track, it was about time a sick video like this came to light. I don’t think I need to go into detail about how great Mike Posner’s vocals work over Kaskade and Deadmau5′ ever famous beat. DOSVEC always seems to get the videos perfect with his mashups, which I believe was key to continuing this mashups fame.

Albums | Clinton Sparks Readies Upcoming “My Awesome Mixtape 2”
Posted by GMONEY on February 9, 2012
Coming off a recent Grammy nomination for his work on Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”, multi-platinium producer Clinton Sparks has been hard at work preparing for the release of his highly anticipated “My Awesome Mixtape 2”. Rumored to be narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, the project will be heavily dance inspired (think Skrillex meets Jim Jones or Sidney Samson meets Rick Ross) and is slated for a Valentine’s day release. Talk about bawse. Now I know what I’m getting my ladyfriend for Valentine’s day. To hold us over until then, Get Familiar was kind enough to drop off a few tracks for our listening pleasure that I’ve included below. If these tracks are any indicator of what’s to come, 2012 could be Clinton Sparks’s break out year as an artist. Get familiar with Clinton’s movement by connecting with him on Facebook and Twitter. As a bonus, hit read on to check out Clinton’s recent video for “No Swag” featuring Jacob Kasher and Phil Shaouy.
Hip-Hop | Terence Ryan- Skeletons (Yeah Yeah Yeahs Remix)
Posted by ATexas on February 7, 2012
Does anyone remember Karen O? In all her super anti-hipster/super hipster glory? Well Terence Ryan decided to take Karen O and make a hip hop lovechild. I love this love child. With haunting lyrics and haunting beats its just here to take your soul…but in a totally good way. He discusses God, work and his strife for musical success. Let Karen and Terence transcend you in this amazing must download. Adding to the already amazing tune which the Yeah Yeah Yeahs perfected, Ryan adds a whole new chapter on this song.
Videos | Josiah Hendricks- Instrumental 131
Posted by GMONEY on February 7, 2012
“I don’t want a job, but want I want instead is to never work a day/making money playing music/how could I not/if I didn’t I would be stupid.“
Enter the RyhmeShack, where Josiah Hendricks makes his passion his profession. While most fear living an ordinary life, Josiah raps about the daily grind, detailing the highs and lows that come with chasing one’s dreams in his recent “Instrumental 131”. Straying from ordinary themes, Josiah brings a refreshing message to a hip-hop culture obsessed with mass consumption and wealth. Waiting tables by day and moonlighting as a rapper at night, the shack will soon become a home under the tutelage of MicControl’s Chris Taylor. As Josiah continues to take the blog world by storm, be sure to connect with him via Facebook here. Get-get-get-get-we-taw-ded.

Electro | The Knocks – Midnight City feat. Mandy Lee (M83 Cover)
Posted by Mach on February 6, 2012
Wow, The Knocks upload this electro gem of a cover by M83 to their soundcloud about 5 days ago. I got to see The Knocks last summer on Marthas Vineyard while they opened for Chiddy Bang, personally I thought The Knocks performance was much more appreciated than Chiddy Bangs. I actually had never even heard of The Knocks before that night. M83 on the other hand I am familiar with., but nothing else of his work seems to be able to compare to this cover he worked up.
Mashups | DOSVEC – Rain Away
Posted by Mach on January 31, 2012
DOSVEC mixed it up a little this week. He went back to a dubstep mashup, but with a different, wobblier vibe. Being an old Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, I love the intro of this track, Adele’s voice sounds incredible over that guitar. Once the wobbles dropped I was slightly taken away, for the fact that I would have never thought to put wobbles with Adele’s voice, nor would I have though it would work as well as it does. DOSVEC undoubtedly with another top notch mashup BANGER!

Dubstep | Dragnette – Pick Up The Phone (RoughMath Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 28, 2012
Wow, this is a great remix from RoughMath. They maintained the beauty of Dragnette’s vocals, being a fan of hers, this is a must when remixing her work. The track drops into a dirty melodic bassline, with the flow of the vocals continuing throughout the drop. This remix sounds awesome, great opening track for a Saturday night.
