First lady of Fool’s Gold and Chi-town native Kid Sister gets much love. She stays busy recording and touring with A-Trak, Kanye West, and bigger bro J2K of Flosstradamus.

But she’s not the only one keeping busy—for each bangin’ track there’s a handful of remixers eager to rip it apart and build it back up again. Enter TonyX of 1/2ALIVE crew. He’s been busy—besides throwing Vancouver’s freshest dance party called 1/2ALIVE, the dude chops a good beat. Try his take on ‘Control’ for size (with Eurythmics edit sprinkled in for emphasis).

Mo’ busyness; Sydney clubstars Bag Raiders dropped this little club’d down remix on RCRD LBL last month. Thank you!

Lastly (but not leastly), our L.A. homie Them Jeans of Cinespace fame recently put together this little new wave’d blend of Sis’s ‘Pro Nails’ and The Outrunners ‘Cool Feeling’.

DJ Paul V. is kind of an authority on mash-ups. What makes him an authority? Perhaps because he does a little mash-up heavy program for (arguably the coolest radio station in the world) Indie 103.1 in Los Angeles. The show is The Smash Mix! airing every Friday afternoon at 5:30 and, alternatively, downloadable over the internet by visiting the site (as well as streamable from the Indie 103.1 Smash Mix page). Always something fun going on over there!

Paul V. sent us this mash-up which he is particularly proud of, and works very well. It’s a blend of Yo Majesty’s ‘Club Action’, as remixed by Bag Raiders (which also uses some of Enya’s ‘Orinoco Flow [Sail Away]‘) smashed with Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ as remixed by Dirty South.

Sounds great, although I must admit when the Enya part finally drops it’s a little abrupt in contrast with all the, ‘fuck that shit, nigga!’. But we love abrupt, that’s why we like love ‘fuck that shit’ chorus in the first place!:

Before we move on, give a listen to the building blocks of the track above:

Now, here’s another one of his most recent mashes, which takes Lil’ Mama’s ‘Lip Gloss’ and glazes it over the classic tune, ‘Tequila’ by The Champs (a listen will likely bring up fond memories of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure):

DJ Paul V. also does the Neon Noise radio show on Indie 103.1 every Saturday night (midnight-3am); It’s a mix of all sorts of tracks you’d probably love, check program’s page on Indie’s site here and know that you can stream the show live from the website!

Paul V. doesn’t quit there, he is also a regular at the monthly mash-up party, Bootie LA, as well as the resident DJ of L.A.’s longest-running underground dance club, Dragstrip 66. And, lastly, of course, he has a MySpace.
