I've been a big fan of The Hood Internet for years. They were really the first great A+B mashup artists.
Actually, The Hood Internet is composed of two Chicago hipsters, DJ STV SLV and ABX.
I've always thought ABX had a much better ear -- his mashups just fit together.
DJ STV SLV is more concerned with eating Beef 'n' Cheddars at Arby's and Twittering on his Macbook.
Now ABX just took Ludacris' newest single (which is pretty much a straight up stripper anthem) and buttf****d it senseless by putting a Sega Genesis-influenced dubstep track by Joker & Ginz under it.
It's really when the bass drops at 0:40. OMG. The chipmunk sound with the stripped down percussion isn't really my thing....
The production on this track is remarkably clean. Good headphones or huge speakers would do this justice. This style of house is really growing on me. It doesn't hit you over the head with any particular sound but makes you smile with the totality of every element working together. The vocals remind me of the 90's dance music they played at the hair salon I went to when I would get my hair cut in high school. And I think I hear cowbell near to the end.
