The Funkhunters do a hell of a job remixing this classic Fleetwood Mac song. It starts out very much feeling like the original, even carrying the same tempo, and then unleashes into a whole new animal. Download the track here.

Flo gives us this awesome cover of The Talking Heads, Wild Wild Life to announce her appearance at Bestival 2012. I love how they’re dressed as animals but act very seriously.

In honor of the late, Biggie’s bday, today we feature a mashup of his jam, Juicy, by Steely Chan. This time they smash Biggie’s lyrics from Juicy into a soulful instrumental from The Soul Snatchers. It’s hot. Dig it.

You’ve probably heard this song on the new Internet Explore ad. If you’re like me you shun IE, but this song is dope. I can see Microsoft is clearly trying to make IE look badass/cool/hip/trendy. Admirable efforts with this great Alex Clare/Diplo collaboration.

The original “Witness” by Roots Manuva is an amazing bouncing, bobbing, bass driven track that you could argue birthed or at least, surely inspired dubstep. It’s ridiculous. I was very skeptical about any remix of this song as i can’t fathom making it any better. Benji does a hell of a job. I’m not saying it’s better, but it’s definitely banging. Dig.

Voodoo Farm takes on Biggie’s “Get Money” on his latest remix challenge. The outcome is extremely energetic dubstep or as VF calls it, Thugstep. Shit goes hard and frenetic. Dig.

The original Bobby Womack jammer is one of my favorite songs of that era. It’s a beautiful ode to Harlem that has stood the test of time. The Apple Scruffs do great work on this one. Enjoy.

Need Your Love - The Temper Trap - RAC Mix - Click to download.

RAC never misses and this remix of Need Your Love doubles down on that. Jamming song with a really cool 80’s vibe to it. On another note, I returned from a weekend of debauchery in Montreal. If you haven’t been to that city, I strongly urge you to do so. Only a 5 hour drive from Boston, it’s worth every second. Wow. Great music, beautiful women, great food, what’s not to love…

Damn this is a phenomenal mashup. Production duo/brothers, Urban Noize, mashup Kanye’s verse from Drake’s “Forever” and vocals from Vega Choir’s cover of Radiohead’s “Creep”. The result is this beautiful piece of music. Enjoy.

Say Hello vs Because - Jay-Z vs The Beatles vs T-Pain - The Melker Project - Click to download.

I’ll let Mr. Scott Melker tell you a little bit about this track: When you find a rare Beatles acappella you are morally obligated to use it. “Because” is an incredible song - 3 voices, recorded 3 times to create a 9 part harmony. “Say Hello” is also amazing. Perhaps my favorite track from “American Gangster.” Throw in a little T-Pain and you have a recipe for amazing.

So What Cha Want - Beastie Boys - The Record Company cover - Click to download.

LA based, The Record Company, does their bluesy rendition/tribute of So What Cha Want in honor of Adam Yauch’s (MCA) recent passing. It’s a horrible tragedy that the universe has taken this musician from us. But his life and life’s work are now being celebrated. It’s sad that it takes one’s passing to realize what a true talent and amazing person we had. Heaven just got one more great talent… RIP MCA 1964-2012
