FROM DJ PAUL V.
I thought the news and current events were pretty damn crazy before the tragic and sad death of Michael Jackson, but wow ... nothing will ever top the news from June 25th. And even with MJ ruling all cable and news shows 24/7, I would be remiss to not feature him this week. While he has so many amazing, classic songs - he has almost as many mashups, it was very hard to pick just one. But I chose one featuring Britney Spears (courtesy of POMATIC) because it seems to say so much, and the pararells between these two won't go unnoticed. We all want more & more from our pop stars, almost to the point of killing them - or them slowly killing themselves. From the enablers to the drugs to the pressure of the press that picks them clean like vultures, I hope Michael's finally found his much-deserved peace.

HEARTLESS IN A BOTTLE - MASHUP!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
What a crazy week for news it's been! From the governor jetting off to Argentina for sex, to the heart-wrenching fight for democracy in Iran - it can be enough to make your head spin. Then there's the news of the blogger whose name shan't be spoken, who makes a living out of being heartless and cruel. Personally, I believe violence and causing physical harm to another person is always, always wrong. Yet I also believe in karma, if someone pokes a bee's nest long enough with hurtful words and actions, they're gonna get stung. So this week, DJ Earworm's amazing mashup kind of says it all, with help from The Fray, The Police, Tupac, and a group I think is super talented - Black Eyed Peas. And maybe, just maybe - the "message" has finally been received loud and clear. Enjoy the video version below too!

GIRLS ON FILM FREAK OUT - MASHUP!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week, the sounds of late 70's disco gets captured with early 80's new romantic new wave. Probably one of the most underrated bass players is Bernard Edwards, from those party animals in Chic. I would reckon he influenced Duran Duran bassist John Taylor too, and here, DJ Magnet shows how Edwards' chunky bottom (along with Nile Rogers' famous plucky guitar line) throbs perfectly inside DD's tale of celluloid hotties working the lens. It all seems to make historical sense too, as Freak Out was written about the crazy heyday of Studio 54, where we could imagine the boys in Duran Duran feeling right at home. (Here's the video proof!)

LILY ALLEN & THE ROBOT - MASHUP!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week I get to feature two of my favorite girly singers in one mashup! I'm talking about the cheeky Lily Allen and the always-fabulous Robyn. The main music track comes from Röyksopp, with Robyn guest starring on the space disco glitz of The Girl & The Robot. Our mixer Dunproofin' ups the sparkle factor by using Lily's Not Fair - making for what sounds like a completely natural duet. Heck, maybe this mashup will inspire these two talented ladies to actually work together in the future? Sure makes sense to me!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week's mashup is all about - anniversaries! One year ago this week, an eclectic dance troupe called R.A.I.D. (Random Acts Of Irreverent Dance) adopted Bootie LA, as its home for their spectacular dance routines - and, they made their debut to one of my mashups! And since we also celebrate the 4-year anniversary of Bootie LA this Saturday night, they requested an updated version. The track still features Miami rappers Yo! Majesty on the vocals, mashed up with Depeche Mode and even a little bit of Enya. But this new version has some tasty and Dee-Liteful extras, and it still begs ya to get yo ass on the floor! This one might be NSFW, but I still want ya to pump up the volume, baby!

VIVA LA VIRAL - MASHUP!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week we bring you a bootleg that's as smooth as silk and loaded with all kinds of goodies. Yup, our pal Norwegian Recycling is at it again, mashing together some of your favorite songs into one fantastic megablend. It's anchored by Coldplay's Viva La Vida - and features The Killers, Kelly Clarkson, Bon Jovi, Muse, Hellogoodbye, and my new favorite down-under duo, Empire Of The Sun. If you didn't know better, you'd swear Coldplay invited them all to their recording session. And it's titled Viva La Viral for a reason: He wants you to share this with everyone, so go for it! (Plus watch the video below!)

FIRE IN A BOTTLE - MASHUP!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
A few months ago, we featured a great Kings Of Leon mashup, and seeing as how the boys just played a spectacular show here in LA, they need even more love! And wow, this mashup is seriously the kind of track that gets the dance floor jumping through the roof and singing along at the top of their lungs. Here, long-time mashmaker Tone396 takes the somewhat understated vocals of Message In A Bottle from The Police, and literally ignites them when set to the blissful indie rock of KOL. Sting is always bragging out the great tantric sex he has, and well - now we know what it feels like! Peep the video here too.

CHASING CARS THAT WAY - MASHUP!

FROM DJ PAUL V.
If you attend Bootie LA (and keep shakin' it until the end of the night) you know that we always reserve the very last song for a slow-dance mashup. Ya know, something where two people can mash their bodies together a little bit. And this week's mashup made our peeps totally swoon - and sing along! While the heyday of the 'boy band' craze might be long over, the kids still have much love for the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way still sounds stunning, and mashed up with Chasing Cars from Snow Patrol, it tastes like a strawberry double-dipped in chocolate. Our German/Danish pals Dan Mei & Marc Johnce get credit for this smooth as silk charmer! (Also watch the video below!)

Sometimes it's the simple things that bring the most pleasure, ya know? This week's mashmaker is Party Ben (and if you know anything about world-class mashups, you know Ben), and even if he's modest about the simplicity of this track, we all know better - 'cuz it's a jam! And this classic disco track he used - Evelyn "Champagne" King's Shame - will never get old. Mashing it with current hit maker Kid Cudi's Day & Night makes for a dance floor ready rump-shaker. And I think this music kicks ass on the original Kudi groove.

I have to admit, I had a great laugh when that supposed audio tape surfaced of Beyoncé butchering her song on The Today Show. Hoax or not, it was devilish to revel in the whole thing. One thing Beyoncé is definitely good at, is dancing - and she inspired leotarded fans all over the globe with her routine from Single Ladies. I doubt Christopher Walken posted himself on YouTube in a rendition, but the man can hoof it with the best of 'em. And how can we forget his moves in Fatboy Slim's Weapon Of Choice video? Santa Cruz's DJ Tripp puts a zing on it by mashing them together this week, so grab your black pumps and shake that rump! You can peep the toe-tapping video here too.

Oh, and if you need to get that creepy new Burger King commercial with Sir Mix-Alot and Spongebob Squarepants out of your head, go watch this (another DJ Tripp banger).
