\"MIA\"
\nBOOTLEG MXS & MASHUPS<\/strong>
\n[no.3 in an irregular series]
\nhere we are again at bootleg HQ, taking a break from your run-of-the-mill mp3 blogging to focus on commercially unavailable remixes and bastard pop greats. kudos to these particular editing junkies for taking these tunes to the next level.
\ncarrasco – m.i.a.’s thing<\/a>
\nin which carrasco<\/a> drops m.i.a.<\/strong>‘s ‘pull up the people’ over amerie<\/strong>‘s ‘one thing’ with deliciously tasty results. now being the owner of both amerie<\/strong> and ciara<\/strong> albums, i think that while ciara<\/strong>‘s three top tunes win out, overall amerie<\/strong>‘s album is the winner. disappointed at the fact that the 2nd half of ciara<\/strong>‘s full-length drops into bland ballad territory. and then of course there’s m.i.a.<\/strong> – who finally appeared on one of australia’s commercial tv networks this weekend, with the ‘bucky done gun’ clip. maybe the gal is going to crossover after all?
\nboojiboy – thug times<\/a>
\nthere’s a heap of quality boots over on boojiboy’s site<\/a>. this post was a close tie with the excellent mashing of m.i.a.<\/strong> with can<\/strong>‘s ‘i want more’, but i don’t want to overload on the whole m.i.a. thing. so instead you get tweet<\/strong>‘s ‘thug man’ mixed with the human league<\/strong> – what a combo – the league track ‘hard times’ taken from their excellent remix album ‘love and dancing’. the album was one of the first (certainly in the uk) remix albums back in 1981 and features dub versions of tracks from ‘dare’, re-rubbed by martin rushnet. i can’t recommend it highly enough, particularly for the way it erases the narrative of ‘don’t you want me’ and re-creates it in dub disco style.
\ndj selektor – bionic girl<\/a>
\nclick above link to download from yousendit.com (mp3 available for a limited time)<\/font><\/em>
\nmixing gwen stefani<\/strong>‘s ‘hollerback girl’ with the south rakkas crew<\/strong>‘s dancehall booty goodness. of all the (many) gwen boots that are around at the moment, this for me is the cream of the crop. it almost made me actually like<\/em> gwen, god knows i was never a fan of no doubt<\/strong>, but then i caught her new video clip and it felt like a cold shower from the pits of hell. urrg. (original mp3 found on boomselection<\/a> – about time for a site update, doctor boom?)
\ncry on my console – remix of diplo’s ‘way more’<\/a>
\n<\/a>josh console has made some tasty mixes in the past – his version of j-kwon’s ‘tipsy’ being a stand out. here he takes on the miami boy with, once again, top notch results. check out his site<\/a> for more mxs. for another take on this particualr diplo<\/strong> track, try and track down the smart baile funk version – ‘jorghino’s carioca funk remix’.
\ndunproofin – remix of lady sovereign’s ‘random’<\/a>
\ncouldn’t finish this round-up of boots without some action from the SOV. if history determines that sov<\/strong> and dizzee<\/strong> came to represent the public face of grime, then i think justice would have been done. check out too sov’s hilarious piss-take of jentina<\/strong> – ‘sad ass stripah’, proves without any doubt that this gal has class. more mixes from dunproofin here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
