Passion Pit Vs Juvenile - Back That Sleepyhead Up

The Hood Internet



A sick mix I stumbled upon as I was rediscovering the amazing beats of The Hood Internet. I would put just the Mp3 on here, but its a lot easier to just embed the Youtube video. I like their mashup style, which I find to be either hit or miss - I tend to either really enjoy their mixes or think that they're forced together, which makes for an unpleasant listening experience. Check out the rest of their beats on www.thehoodinternet.com, where you can download most of their songs for free. The Hood Internet definitely makes for some good party music, and is easy to acquire, being readily available on their website for absolutely free. If you get a chance, check their stuff out. They already have four mixtapes out for the public (not including their specialized mixtapes, which focus on mashups with a single band or group) and I'm guessing that they're not even close to done yet.

For similar mixes/mashups, check out the following:
Milkman
Girl Talk
Super Mash Bros
The White Panda

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other suggestions for music of a similar style, as I'm definitely open to suggestion and on the prowl for like-minded music.

Electricity shocks, electro moves, transfuse the two and the body shakes. This music transforms - a beautiful craft - halting your anxiety, shaking you to freedom.

Samir

"Yet even as I spoke, I was flooded with a scary mixed feeling of both remorse and fear, and I prayed to God that Samir would beg me to changed my mind so that I would not lose face. And, lo and behold, he did. 'But Fatima,' Samir said, 'God is the only one who creates beauty. It is not by applying henna, ghassoul - that vulgar clay - or any of those other dirty concoctions, that you'll transform yourself into the moon."

One of my favorite quotes from a book I've been reading recently:

Dreams of Trespass by Fatima Mernissi
Said by Samir, a 9 year old boy living in a Muslim Harem in Fez, Morocco

Beauty

As the brushstrokes collaborated to create a new work of art, I simply smiled and appreciated the wonder of it all.
