The Jane Doze and Site Updates


You're looking at the faces of The Jane Doze, a particularly good mashup duo out of NYC. I've followed them somewhat, but they dropped a completed mixtape, called Girls Talk, including 6 new mashups yesterday. They've made a huge splash and great reviews. Found some gems in there myself, hence, I chose to feature them here. More on site updates on the bottom.


First Jane Doze here is my personal favorite. Very creative and diverse artists brought together. Glitchy in parts, takes the best out of Deadmau5's masterpieces. Funky in other parts, this song will get you going.
Glad You Raised Your Weapon - The Jane Doze




Next song here is quite old, but a sure beauty. Have had this song on repeat for the last day now. I Have been looking for a sweet mashup of Ellie Goulding's beautiful vocals. While labeled a dubstep, you'll hear that this one touches that fine line between true dubstep and electronic, a niche I do much enjoy. And you will too.
Your Song - Ellie Goulding (Blackmill Dubstep Remix)




As I've probably mentioned before, I'm a huge B.o.B fan. It seems like he never misses. I've been with him from the beginning, since his B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray mixtapes, and have been with him ever since. He has veered more into the mainstream, doing songs with Lil Wayne for his new album coming out in May. This one was released recently, generating a lot of buzz for what will be on the new album.
So Good - B.o.B




The band Fun. has burst onto the scene, at least in my narrow view. A very playful indie-pop band, several members come from The Format, a band with similar sounds, and which fits nicely into the Ben Folds category. This rousing song will be your blood pumping, and teens will find many lines that really resonate with them.
Some Nights - Fun.




Continuing with The Jane Doze, one of the great things is their free downloads. This song is on a different wavelength from the pervious song, a bumpin track featuring chillstep song Saeglopur by Sigur Ros and some laidback raps. Song reminds you of a breezy summer night. If only.
Replacement Ros - The Jane Doze





About the site updates. As Jacob pointed out last post, we've started a partnership with the blog Beatfind, a great blog that I think everyone can enjoy. We are always looking to improve your music experience, it's actually the first question I ask myself in the morning. Thus we will be reaching out to blogs we personally like and see where we can get more partnerships going to give you more great music.

The header is up for changes, we're experimenting with what looks best. Got some ad placements around the site, and will be playing with those to see what works. May be restructuring the posts as a whole. Lots of work and changes ahead. Stay tuned.
