Motorboater
I have really mixed feelings about Taylor Swift. From the start I just didn’t like her sound but as she has continued to put music out and after a few folks whose tastes I respect have made a good argument in her favor I’m slowly finding the elements I like. Mash-ups like these make that process a little more fun. The track is off of Motoboater’s freshly released EP P/U Yr Heart. He mixes America’s sweetheart with France’s grittier pop star Uffie to the best of all possible ends.

Alan Wilkis
TWIAPC regular, the wonderful Mr. Wilkis, takes on Philly’s RJD2 in his most recent release. The Shining Path (Alan Wilkis Remix) strips away the perky bits from the original track in favor of some 80′s-ish ditty synths. The reconfiguration pushes guest voice Phonte Coleman (Little Brother/ Foreign Exchange) front in center. Wilkis is right to recognize that, in this case a little less is a lot more.

Nobody Beats The Drum
Finally, this stop motion video for Nobody Beats The Drum’s tasty electro snacklette. For those of us who were raised in wooden block (versus video game) households the video, created by Rogier van der Zwaag the groups visual artist, represents a perfect marriage of electro beats and simple blocks. I’m not going to lie, none of my block sessions were this cool nor was the soundtrack. Enjoy the video and the track from the Dutch electro team.
