I’m not ashamed to say I’ve been disgustingly excited for DJ Hero since I first heard it announced half a year ago. I’m religiously addicted to Guitar Hero for the PS2, and I’ve been resisting buying a “next-gen” console because I haven’t really found a game that screams at me.
MSTRKRFT are already well on their way to getting their “I Effing Love…” post, but I haven’t got around to write it yet. Their remixes are gold, and this one is no exception.
After I heard the Crookers remix of Kid Cudi’s Day ‘N’ Nite, I couldn’t help looking up more of their stuff.
I got wind of Michael Mind from my buddy Zach. He posted the video for “Love’s Gonna Get You” on Twitter, and mentioned that he sometimes wishes he became a DJ instead of a mathematician. I’ve had this thought for a while, but Michael Mind’s beats definitely hammer it home.
“Do you like bass?” is probably the worst question to ask if you’re reading about my music, because the answer is pretty obvious.
I heard the remix of this song in the car on the way to campus one day. It was one of those ‘perfect’ remixes that you can just feel the hook coming, and it’s going to be amazing. I ended up missing 10 minutes of a class because we just chilled in the car until the song was over.
Gifted is a really incredible motivation song. From Kanye’s ego-fuelled verse on rising to the top, to Santogold’s verse on smacktalking adversity, the entire song really just pushes you to try harder at whatever you’re doing. My favourite part? Lykke Li’s chorus.
