Sorry Mitch, It's A Manifesto

It’s hardly ever that I post anything that even resembles a mash-up, I usually find the genre trite and lacking in creativity. This being said every once in a while an artist can transcend their genre and produce something truly spectacular, although I wish Mitch had left Kelis out of the mix on this one. These two mashes hail from FAMUELS and an artist simply listed as Mitch-Mash, who might just have received his break through Earmilk’s weekly #mashupmonday promotion. I cannot follow proper copyright protocol on this post but I don’t think they’ll mind, as they cannot either.

These Dudes Don't Like Skrillex

“I think you’d like me better,” if we went together. Amanda Blank…you’re all probably drawing a blank, which is too bad for her because you are probably hearing her sing right now. Listen to the two samples and tell me that Dj Vaski’s remix doesn’t elevate Blank’s song infinitely. While she may not reap the profits of Vaski’s remix it increases her fame and promotional abilities at a rate making it beneficial for her to be apart of the remix, a la La Roux. Showing how important illegal remixing and copyright infringement is to the electronic movement.

By violating copyright infringement the advancement of music has been most felt by the electronic movement. I would expect Mau5trap Records of all companies to understand this, which is why I was very surprised to hear about a string of litigations launched by the company against artists and blogs. It was not long ago that Skrillex’s “In For The Kill” Mix illegally entered the headphones of millions of Americans not only paving the way for the now Mau5trap artist, but for Dubstep in America.
