Mash-Ups, Covers, and Remixes often seem to rub people the wrong way. I like to think of them more as interpretations. Just take them for what they are. No one is going to make a Bob Marley song as well as Bob, but you can interpret it in a new way. So here are some covers and mash-ups that I have been into semi-lately. DOWNLOAD all the songs HERE 1.

![[Listen] – Brand New Song By M.I.A. – “Teqkilla”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2669794_lg.jpg)
Even though M.I.A.s latest album "cantbearsedtypingtheactualtit le" was supposed to be released today (it's now slated for July 13th), she's only gone and released another new single from the album. Her last single/song was "Stepping Up" that came out with a remix of "XXXO" by Jay-Z, and this new one is on the better side I think, tribal drums, sirens, handclaps, and a sick beat, but the lyrics leave a little to be desired. Check it out below and let me know what you think. M.I.A. - Teqkilla by [...]

If you've been listening to the album "Treats" from Sleigh Bells as much as I have, then you might be walking around hearing the entire world sound like it's being run through distortion. When I first heard the band's music I knew they'd be perfect for the short and sweet bass-filled remixes like the one we have here from Bassnectar . This band really lived up to their hype. Well done folks. MP3: Sleigh Bells - Run The Heart (Bassnectar Remix)

M.I.A. is either a liar, or she's changed her mind, or she just likes releasing new songs for no reason other than to....release new songs. She could be a liar because a month or so ago when she posted a picture of the tracklisting for her upcoming album "/\/\/\Y/\", "Stepping Up" wasn't on that list. Or she could have changed her mind since she posted that tracklisting and this song as well as the "I'm A Singer"/"Haters" she upped a couple of weeks ago will be on the album. Or she could just be releasing songs [...]

Bassnectar continues to establish himself as the king of the heavy bass sound. He's constantly on tour and producing new material, he is no ameteur. His remix of Magical World posted here got a huge response, and when the second post of his located here , also got a huge repsonse. Well now i'm here with another post of his, featuring two very sick remixes. This first one is filled with so much energy, regardless if you love or hate Metallica, you're going to love this song. If you don't have any type of bass with your [...]

SUMMER IS HERE! This post doesn't actually have much to do with Wesley Snipes aside from the title. On the contrary, NicoLuminous from Portland, an accomplished vocalist, beat boxer and multi-talented improvisational musician is looking pretty bright under this summer's sun. Putting some serious Ableton skills, beatbox, and flow into a tight package, Nico's been churning out some heat this year with some slinky shoulder poppers to put a bug in your dome. So peep here, a little west coast hip hop dub decorated with that glitch and bass: [...]

Lots of great remixes have hit the blogs this week so here's a roundup of the best. I have to credit Hypetrak for turning me onto most of these tracks - check them out. Beastie Boys - 'Sabotage' ( Alex Metric Remix) One of my all-time favourite tunes get a pretty effective re-edit for the dancefloor. Janelle Monáe featuring B.o.B & Lupe [...]

(photo credit: Kyle Scully ) Brand new Bassnectar remix for Brooklyn pop-rock duo, Sleigh Bells . A perfect jam to kick off your summer festivities. I wanted to flash-release a little summer time jam, and decided on a brand new loopy remix i did of an awesome band called “Sleigh Bells” …it isn’t meant to be a banger or anything more than a nice, thick slice of dreamy sunshine (and bass). Enjoy! [...]
Wee woo and wah! Today started much nicer than the week began... ...plus I just realized that since this Friday is the one before a holiday, I get released from the office job at 1:00pm that day...so basically, this week is like over already, right? Right on! R.I.P. Paul Gray. The bassist from Slipknot passed away yesterday. [...]

Hot Stuff! Hot Tracks, Hot Remixes... This post is hot... Almost too hot to handle. Then I again I like to think my readers can handle it all. The Books :: Beautiful People The Books! More unique stuff from them. There's the trademark sample vocals (which here are pretty weird at times - they run backwards at times, and are also seem to be about the sciences). There's brass sections, [...]

They might be one-note wonders with nothing more than a few well-received demo tracks to their name, but I've been digging Sleigh Bells. As Jane Bang has found (pictured on the shirt above from T.I.T.S clothing ), they're going to make for great remix fodder. Sleigh Bells - Beach Girls Sleigh Bells - Crown on the Ground (Jane Bang Remix) More sick shirts on 199X

The past 3 months of this beastly year have undoubtedly been overtaken by Sleigh Bells and their fistful of demos. From engaging live performances to gaining support from top music critics and bloggers alike, this Brooklyn duo is set to make 2010 their own! Another BK-badass, is our buddy, Jane Bang . Known for her signaturely-suggestive lyrics and eccentrically arranged mix of hip-hop and electro, she's hit us up with a number of repeatable tracks and mixes over the course of the past two years.
