Monday Mash: A Special Thanks


I know it's already Tuesday, but the Hombre crew was a bit slow to recover from Sunday night, so I'd like to take this Monday Mash opportunity to give you all of the pop-heavy dance mashups that turned the Black Squirrel upside down and into the world's hottest sauna.

I can't take full credit for the epic Britney mashup by Tel Aviv-based DJ Maya Jakobson (who ironically shares my mom's side of the family's last name), but the dance floor blew up when I dropped this one, and too many people came up to me afterwards to ask about the track (if Dana's blonde friend from Florida is reading this....you're welcome)


Once we got the mashup train started, it was hard not to start busting out some serious moves, and since Mashup Germany's made a career out of dropping at least 8 or 9 acapellas into each instrumental,  the Kings of Leon/Whitney Houston choruses got everybody moving in the right direction...


After some heavy bastard pop mashes with Gaga, Ke$ha (typing her name on a keyboard is one of the most frustrating minute tasks in the world) and that whole uber-pop scene, we busted out the old DeLorean and traveled back in time to the reign of the King of Pop.  While 'Black & White' has never been anywhere near my favorite MJ song, the Martin Solveig beat is too much fun, and people were literally bouncing off the walls to the Duck Sauce vs. Beat it mashup.



While I'd love to share some more mashes on such a fine Tuesday morning, it's quickly inching towards the beginning of the workday, plus I've gotta keep the Ridgewood mystique goin, right?

If you came out this weekend to the Black Squirrel, THANK YOU for making it such an awesome night.  We've got some meetings with the Black Squirrel and a few other bars this week to discuss more summer mashup parties, so stay tuned kiddies....
