These two prolific Brazilians are putting out remixes faster than I can post them, so in an attempt to keep up with The Twelves, here is a roundup of some that are new to me.

The two are is a remixes of rock songs – the Radiohead song Reckoner and White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes. The third is a remix of Sudden Rush by Erlend Oye.

Kanye Mixtape

So South Park did an episode featuring Kanye West as an Ego-Maniac and then he blogged about it; admitting that yes, he does have a big old ego. He’s even got a song about his ego on his latest mixtape, LVs and autotune. LVs of course a reference to his new louis vuitton shoe design. Here’s a track from the mixtape featuring Common and Q Tip. The whole mixtape can be downloaded here.

Dead Prez vs. David Banner

dead prez

I’ve had this track for awhile from album It’s the Motherfucking Remix Vol 2.2 championed by the good people at The Rub NYC. It’s a good Christmas Carol and by any measure David Banner and Dead Prez can’t steer you wrong. If you like it, consider buying the album, it’s one of the better remix albums out there.

DJ Bling: King of Rock

djbling


Speaking of mash ups, I got the word on DJ Bling in my inbox today. The new mash up album called King of Rock focuses on mixing dad rock like Led Zeppelin with the likes of Kanye West and Jay Z. The intro track is just so good I though I’d share that with you as well as a Ludacris, Rage Against the Machine track. You can get the full 40 track mixtape here, for free.
