This is the last Mashstix Alternative Show. I like to personally thank G3RST for the amazing job he's done with the show (don't worry he's not leaving the team)
There is some good news with the bad however, as The Radio Stix Show will be back in full swing with a whole new crew... keep your eyes peeled! - Paul Stix
In all honesty, I don't think I've heard a combo where both tracks fitted together as well as DJ Not-I's latest offering.
The Vocals of Steve Miller's 1976 #1 hit "Rock'n Me" work incredibly well with the chord progressions of Arcade Fire's Rebellion.
If you like this as much as I'm sure you will then make sure you click on the Forum Link and check out the equally well made B side Wings vs Adam Freeland: Freeland Band (On The Run)
Cons:
I personally would have preferred this not to have had Arcade Fire vocals included, i don't think they were needed - but as I say that's a personally preference, don't let it spoil your enjoyment of what is a really well conceived (and executed) track.
I Always like mashups in which the tracks are somehow connected and not feel like they're randomly selected. In this case it's a clear case of lyrics wise combining two tracks and i must say i'm suprised by the outcome. You did an excellent job slicing up every bit of the Britney pella and fitted it on the toxicity instrumental
Although there are two worlds colliding in this mashup it realy kicks in!
Cons:
Maybe the vocals could use is bit reverb, because in some parts it causes some obvious volume drops in the pella (because of the slicing)
Tips:
None!
