Summer Mixtapes



Here are a few mixtapes (old and new) to keep you preoccupied this Summer season. 

1. Rematch- The White Panda
*already reviewed*

2. Dirty South Dance- A-Trak (J3W CR3W)
This was reviewed on my old site, but this mixtape is so original and good I've listened through it at least 20 times.  I guarantee that this is an amazing mixtape, but you need to be ready to listen to something new.

3. Dirty South Dance 2- A-Trak
Basically like the same review for the first, but new songs.

4. The Swelly Express- Chiddy Bang
Chiddy's first ever mixtape, It has all of his good hits on it and it is like a story within the mixtape.

5. All About the Scrillions- Super Mash. Bros
This is a really old mixtape, but the Mash Bros are just killer mash-up artists.

////////// Tracks //////////
THE BLOODY BEETROOTS!!!
Who Are You? (Beetroots Remix)- Proxy
I Love The Bloody Beetroots- Bloody Beetroots
Awesome (feat. The Cool Kids)- Bloody Beetroots

I AM STOPPING THE DEAD TRACKS RATINGS, THEY ARE TOO TIRING

Electronic Independence


I haven't done a post in a while, lucky for you guys that this one will be big right off of the White Panda's new mixtape "Rematch."

1. Rematch- The White Panda
I stayed up until 12 and listened to the whole mixtape for you guys so I could review it.  First Off, many people have messaged me saying the Versus was better than this one, and they were disappointed.  There are many things I say to that.  First, this is a different style mixtape than "Versus," though I thought "Versus" was indeed better this one focused on doing multiple mashes instead of one mash per song.  This style is more difficult than the other.  The White panda does not do this second method very well, The Super Smash Bros do.  The other reason I say to stop complaining is that The White Panda released this mixtape very quickly within months of their first mixtape, unlike other Mash-up artists (Super Smash Bros).  Overall I liked this mixtape and I would say to stop complaining because their first mixtape is hard to match.  
I have the download link up in the sub-title (YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY IT JUST DONATE 0 DOLLARS)

2. Galvanize- The Chemical Brothers
Get to know the Chemical Brothers with this amazing hit of theirs.
Dead Tracks Rating: Dead
3. Swoon (Boys Noize Remix)- The Chemical Brothers
Boys Noize is amazing with this remix, way better than the original mix.
Dead Tracks Rating: Very Ill
4. I'll Get Your Whistle- The White Panda
Arguably the best track on their new mixtape.  Yes, some might say that Juicy O' Riley is the greatest on the track, and yes the robot voice is funny but the beat matching on that song was horrible.  Just wait till Eminem comes on to this track, it is genius. 
Dead Tracks Rating: Dead
5. dead wrong intro (B.I.G vs the xx)- Wait What
B.I.G and the xx come together to make this track amazing, I encourage you to get this whole mixtape.
Dead Tracks Rating: Dead

THERE WILL BE MORE 5 TRACK POSTS SOON
HAVE A GREAT FIREWORKS!!!

New Blog: Dead Tracks (too sick to be alive)

I feel a new blog needs a good start and a good first impression so here is the first Monster Post.

This Xaphoon remix is a really good job and is a great remix that will definitely be listened to at least 10 times, nice job Xaphoon.
Dead Tracks Rating: Ill
Every song that matamatics releases is an amazing remix, this song doesn't fail his standards. This is an amazing remix and I've listened to it 36 times on my iTunes in the first day. Matamatics is amazing.
Dead Tracks Rating: Dead
This is another leaked release from Cudi's soon to be album "Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr.Rager." This song is great and shows what Cudi's album is going to be like and also show Cudi has flow in his raps.
Dead Tracks Rating: Sick
Armand does a great job turning this party song into even more of a party song and even switching up the song's composition into an even better song than Perry has released in my opinion. This remix is better than the MSTRKRFT remix they did.
Dead Tracks Rating: Dead
Three words, THE WHITE PANDA

New Rating System:
to make review shorter I have decided to make a rating system to rate the songs.
Dead= an amazing song you have to have it
Very Ill= you have to have it but may get boring after a while
Ill= great song that I encourage you to get
Sick= pretty good and it has its moments
