Spotlight Saturdays. #2

It’s Saturday night, and I’m stuck at home chipping away at my now insane pile of work. All of my friends have gone home for Thanksgiving weekend so hopefully I’ll actually get some work done since it’s pretty quiet around here. I think it’s actually a little too quiet now that I think of it. Let’s change that.

Usually I’m not the biggest fan of mashups. Too many times have they simply been noise in my ears because too much is going on. It takes a lot of skill to actually make an entirely song out of a handful of other tracks. Because of this, I have mad respect for the Las Vegas born finance student known by the world as 3LAU. This cat has only been mashing up bangers since last February. How is that even possible? I hope you’re prepared to have your mind obliterated.

In case you’re curious, it’s pronounced ‘Blau’ after his name; Justin Blau,

_____ Fridays.

So, for reasons which I cannot comprehend, the typical college/university student’s weekend begins on Thursday here in Ontario. Lucky for me that my only early class is on Friday morning. This morning I woke up at 7:45 to a ringing in my ears, a stomach full of wings and beer, and a full sized bench in my apartment that my roommate and I supposedly brought home the previous night. I honestly thought I just dreamt that part. Anyways, enough chit chat and let’s get on with the music.

I think from now on I might try to keep some sort of consistency with this blog. Fridays will be more focused on bringing you my current favourite electro remixes or originals, whereas Saturdays will be more focused on one single artist’s efforts. I’ll come up with what I’ll consistently be doing midweek at another time. I’ve already got a catchy name for Saturday features, but I need some help with naming Friday night features. Please email me your suggestion and I’ll figure out something cool to do for you. Trust me, it’ll be pretty awesome.

I’m either really lazy or extremely clever,

Grant.

Let’s get all ‘Top 40’s’ on you.

Earlier this week, I posted a remix that this certain group of fellows did of the new LMFAO song. The fellows in question are gentlemen that I know next to nothing about. I know they’re a pop/remix duo studying at Stanford University in the States. I know they go by the clever stage name of Sex Ray Vision. I know that they make Britney Spears sound good.

End of facts, begin listening,

Here’s the mix if you didn’t catch it.
