Woof. Before I go any further, do yourself and pick up a copy of the latest issue of GQ. If you have walked past the Kate Upton issue in the grocery or convenience store without throwing it in your order, you are simply un-American. Yes, even if you’re a girl. Actually, especially if you’re a girl. Whatever it is, this girl has it. Take notes, ladies. OK, moving on. We are not a Kate Upton blog. Although if there isn’t one, I should start it…
Today I wanted to bring you two mixes that are both urban-oriented yet carry all the appeal that dance music fans expect. The first one comes from Skinny Friedman, who makes remixtapes which you can find on his website (which really is titled TrapRave.com), has put together this mix which comes in just under an hour, combining some of his finest remix work. While you’d probably assume his style is trap, it actually leans much more towards moombahton but those who don’t really favor moombahton will have no problem enjoying this fun mix.
Brenmar, a producer who brought his Chicago style to NYC, and straddles hip-hop and club music with feet in both camps, put together an amazing technical mix for FACT Magazine. The Diplo-endorsed producer blends hip-hop and R&B seamlessly with club beats which sounds much more straightforward than it really is. Constantly bouncing so flawlessly between genres and tracks is what makes the mix so interesting from start to finish. That and it has a LOT of unreleased content.
Tracklists for both are after the jump.
