Mashups are the peanut butter and chocolate of music—two things that you wouldn’t expect to go together are combined to make something magical.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
Awesome

Minna’s stuff is great as always. I’ll listen to the playlist when it isn’t 4 am in my time zone, but it looks promising!

My favourite mash up is Stardust Kids by A Plus D – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDKZz6rY91U It works so amazingly well!
A Plus D have a club called Bootie where they play nothing but mash ups. A friend of mine in San Francisco went to the one there and she had a fantastic time. So for you Rookies who are above 21, look into it :)
