“I Remember a UFO” Sneaky Sound System vs. Deadmau5 & Kaskade
Here’s a new mash I made tonight, pairing “UFO” by Australian dance group Sneaky Sound System, with Deadmau5 and Kaskade’s electro/trance anthem “I Remember.”

BOC Friday Night DJ Set – 5/29/09
In case you missed it or want to re-live the night, here is a two hour podcast from my set at BOC last night, recorded from 11 PM – 1 AM. It’s a mix of Electro, House and Hip-Pop beats.
Stream the audio here, download to your computer, or load it up on your iPod to take to take my beats out and about with you.
Keri Hilson – Turnin’ Me On (DJ ZAX vs. Mark Pichiotti Club Mix)
I have long wanted a dance mix of Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ Me On,” so when I received the acapella I decided to make this mashup using a Mark Pichiotti instrumental. The resulting mix reminds me of Maurice Joshua’s signature style.

Rihanna – Breakin’ Dishes (DJ ZAX vs. Spencer & Hill Electro Club Mix)
I am glad Rihanna’s label has finally decided to promote this single. It is only too bad that it was because Chris Brown beat her up. I am also happy she sings, “I’m kickin’ asses” in the acapella that was released (unlike on the censored album version). Is “ass” really that bad of a word?
I restructured Spencer & Hill’s dub of “Flat” and added Rihanna’s vocal with a healthy dose of reverb and other effects. The result is a peak hour electro club banger. I’m also including a clean radio edit, in which she doesn’t say she’s “kickin’ asses.”

“Slap a B!tch! – The REM!X!”
“Slap a B!tch! – The REM!X!”
Macy Gray’s songs are usually hit or miss for me, but this vocal is undeniably hot. I mashed her vocal with the Out of Office Remix beat of Michael Woods feat Inaya Day’s “Natural High” to turn this track into a hot house track for 2009.

“Perfect Donuts”
Sibley vs. Princess Superstar
Sibley is one to watch. A Bay Area native, she’s now working hard in L.A. launching her music career with legendary producer Marc Kinchen. “Donuts” is a catchy, sweet pop song that’ll have you on a run to Krispy Kreme in no time.
“I eat donuts man, I eat donuts. I eat donuts man, I eat donuts. Your car, your cash, your ice, don’t want it. Donuts man, I eat donuts.” Word!
Check out the house mashup I made with Mason/Princess Superstar’s “Perfect [Exceeder].”
“Who The Hell’s a Momma’s Boy?”
Chromeo vs. Illicit
A friend challenged me to turn Chromeo’s brief “Mommas Boy” acapella into a house stomper. I laid it over Illicit’s remix of Madison Avenue’s “Who the Hell Are You,” did some effects with the vocals — and here’s what came out. Now start stompin’!
