Aren’t mashups such guilty pleasures? Well, it looks everyone in the blogosphere indulging today. SINNERS

The first track of note is an awesome reworking by 3LAU that vacillates between weird heavenly-sounding Mike Ponser and samples of Britney plus Daft Punk grafted against some good old fashioned Skrillex. It’s demented and strangely catchy.

Unfortunately, White Panda’s latest versus is pretty terrible. I like the M83 single but I’ve never liked Kanye’s “Good Life.” Now, sometimes shit and gold can be made to work together – this is not one of those occasions. Half of the time you can’t hear the rap over the “wha-woo-woo-wha” beat and the tracks never achieve synchronicity.

The Mickey Fortune contribution is mediocre – not remarkable and not offensive. It’s pretty much Afrojack’s “No Beef” with Miss Palmer’s vocals replaced by Kelly Charles samples. Meh.
