Blood Bros: First Blood Mixtape

DJS and DJA have made a Mixtape for the Mad Decent Blog and I thought it was appropriate to share with you all on Friday. For my working people out there, its hard to get motivated with the weekend so close you taste it. This is THE most ridiculous motivational mixtapes of the year. Strangely, I keep playing it :)

Do you like 80s music? Do you like 80s boxing, karate, fighting, rambo-esque movies? If you just answered yes to either of these and you don't take you music listening too seriously, this Mixtape is for you. Enjoy and have a safe weekend.

Let's Go Mix by Dem Slackers

I love Mixtapes that kick your ass but don't make your ears bleed in the process. This is one of the more intense 30 minutes that you will spend today. If you are struggling to finish that three mile run in the park or are behind on that English Lit paper due in an hour, press play and get to it! Wicked Electro that never stops... Enjoy.

The XX - VCR (FOUR TET REMIX)

The xx - VCR (Four Tet remix) by Four Tet

It looks like this week's theme is remixes by my favorite artist of my favorite artist. These two together make an amazing track. SBA has been big fans of The XX since their debut album dropped. I got excited when I saw that the one and only Four Tet was applying his spaced out minimal sounds to the ever growing English indie group. Four Tet's version of the song is allot faster than what I was expecting. The remix reminds me of something Latin (almost a spaced out salsa). In 13 hours it has already gotten 12,179 hits on Soundcloud! I hope you take the time to listen and add to that number.

Crystal Castles - "Baptism" (Punks Jump Up Remix)

Crystal Castles - Baptism (Punks Jump Up remix) by Punks Jump Up

This is the newest remix from the London duo Punks Jump Up. With these two, I have found that anything they decide to remix will be amazing. Once again, I am not disappointed with their unique spin on Crystal Castles "Baptism."
