2 NEW POP MASHUPS FROM LIL JON AND I

Since there wasn't a version of "Call Me Maybe" that we enjoyed playing, Lil Jon & I decided to make one. We put Carly Rae's vocals over the Laidback Luke & Steve Angello version of the Robin S classic "Show Me Love". This one is fun for all ages, check it out:

RIP MCA OF THE BEASTIE BOYS

Every morning I wake up & grab my phone to see whats going on in the world. Today, one of the first tweets I read was from Global Grind announcing that Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys was dead at the age of 47.

He was a true legend in Hip-Hop & a huge influence to me. For those who know my history, my old group got its name from a Beastie Boys lyric so you already know the connection that I had with the group.

To be honest though, growing up I was not the biggest fan of their early albums. Once Hello Nasty was released, I began to go back & recognize their genius. Their music broke down color walls & is enjoyed by people of all walks of life, which is the way I think it should be.

RIP MCA

I don't usually post Edits on SoundCloud, but with the unfortunate passing of MCA I wanted to share one I did to give the DJs something to show respect for the man. I made this Edit last month before I opened for Pete Rock. It is probably my favorite Beastie Boys song:

Get It Together (DJ Kontrol Edit) (Dirty) (Beastie Boys f. Q-Tip)

NEW MASHUP EP DROPPING MAY 8th

Dj Kontrol Trap PopFor those of you who liked how I flipped the Gotye vocals over the Lollipop beat, be on the lookout for my new mashup EP Trap Pop. That song, in addition to 5 new ones + Clean Versions, will be available on Tuesday, May 8, 2012! Shout out to my bro Patrice McBride for coming up with the title!

All the songs were originally uptempo pop tracks which I crunked up over some of my favorite Dirty South instrumentals! These Remixes give each song a totally new feel & will allow DJs to work them into their sets in different ways. In case you missed it, here's the 1st single from the EP:

THIS SATURDAY IN NEW JERSEY

A trip to Philly wouldn't be complete without making the trip up to Trenton, NJ to spin at The Buzz! I'll be spinning a little bit of everything this SATURDAY with a heavy dose of DJ Kontrol Exclusives! This place is intimate so get there early cuz it gets packed quick! New Jersey spread the word its party time on April 21st!!!

LIL JON AND LMFAO DRINK BOOTLEGS

Half of the excitement I get as a Remixer comes from having an Acapella that is rare or unreleased. So when Lil Jon sent the Acapella to his track "Drink" featuring LMFAO, I was pretty pumped to do something with it. We actually did these bootlegs back in December, but since the track was getting an official release in February, he wanted to hold off until after the video & Remixes were out there. So after previewing them in my sets for the last few months, they are now available to you!

Lil Jon & I did a crunk Blend for the hip-hop DJs over Soulja Boy's "Crank That" Instrumental and a dance Mash over Bingo Player's monster track "Rattle"! At the time we made the "Rattle" Bootleg, only Miami Ski Team had put anything with that track and now there are way too many to count! Regardless, they both go hard, so download & share them with the World!

As always DVDJ Crush came through for the Video DJs with the dope edits!

CHANGED THE WAY YOU KISSED ME REMIX

I collaborated with fellow ATLien DJ Rapko on this Example "Changed The Way You Kissed Me" Remix. The original version of this track has a ton of views on YouTube and with the recent Remix Contest (this was our entry), you can expect to hear DJs spinning this song. When we first started working on this Remix I couldn't stand the original but I think our version gives it a little extra something. You be the judge, if you are feeling it leave a comment on SoundCloud. As always feel free to share it!

SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW MASH

The original version of this Gotye song is amazing & while it is big, I feel it is only going to blow up more. There is already hundreds of Dance Remixes to this one (most of which are not that good), so I decided to put my own twist on it & make it crunk for the club. I chopped up Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" Instrumental & sequenced the Gotye & Kimbra Acapella over it. Enjoy & as always feel free to share it!

NOTORIOUS BIG RARE VERSES DJ KONTROL EDITS

"That shit was the worst, rhyme I ever heard in my life Cause the greatest Rapper of all time died on March 9th" - Canibus "Second Round K.O."

If you know me, you already know that I am a huge Biggie fan & with the Anniversary of his death this week I wanted to give back something special. Before there were blogs with any song you could ever want, I would comb every Record Store I passed for CD versions of tracks that The Notorious B.I.G. appeared on. I wanted to put some of these rare gems from my personal collection to good use, so I decided to make some DJ Edits of his verses you rarely here & which are hard to find in high quality. All except one of the 20 in the ZIP ("Cunt Renaissance") were ripped directly from CD & edited from there.

Most of these did not have Instrumentals available so I had to get creative with the edits. These aren't meant for some Freejay looking for Biggie's "Greatest Hits", but rather for DJs who are looking for something different to sneak into their Hip-Hop sets. He murdered every track he got on & everyone loves his voice so you really can't go wrong with him. Many of these are Quick Edits too, so you can easily get in & out of them. One of my personal favorites, "Who's The Man" is from Doctor Dre & Ed Lover's album "Back Up Off Me", who at the time were hosts of "Yo MTV Raps." Big ends his stellar verse with "Who's the man... I see him every morning in the mirror"... classic!

Hopefully you all will enjoy these & find them useful in some way. As always feel free to share them. ZIP FILE INCLUDES:
