Ain't No Party Once We Crash The Party

Lady Sovereign "Blah Blah Blah (Cadence Weapon remix)" - This is a very inspired team-up, and not just because they are both ridiculously talented up-and-comers under the age of 20 - there's some real chemistry going on here. Lady Sovereign's bratty rhymes sound as though they've been shot like a pinball through Cadence Weapon's track, accelerating around the curves of the 007-gone-grime guitar breaks and zooming through the lyrics til it hits the jackpot. (Click here for the Lady Sovereign site and here for the Cadence Weapon site.)

Dopplebanger "Got It Twisted Sister" - Some mash-ups are so seamless and ideally matched that the originals start to sound more awkward than the remix after a while. Going back to the DFA version of The Rapture's "Sister Savior" after hearing this mix, the vocals sound so stilted and forced, as though he's the one singing along to wrong music. Mobb Deep's "Got It Twisted" is so perfect for the backing track that neither recording requires noticeable editing, as though the two were always meant to go together.
