Cookin Soul, the producer who put out the “Red Album” (Jay-Z vs Game) remixtape, brings us another banger. This remix of Drake’s “Thanks Me Later” features the use live instruments: guitars, bass, piano, strings, and synths. I can’t stop listening to it…
Happy Friday! Cant believe its almost May, where did the first four go? For anyone that has been keeping track, we are coming up on the one year mark of my release of the May Day! mixtape. Well, after a hiatus from mixing, I decided to step it up and with the help of Nick Todd I have been messing around with Ableton Live. Its amazing that I was able to put together mixtapes with Garage Band for so long without throwing my computer into oncoming traffic. In preparation for a bigger project I am giving you a short four song mix I just put together.
The first track was so fun to work with and where I really fell in love with ableton. Taking 3oh!3’s new track House Party and mashing it with the Euro sound of Swedish House Mafia brings the track to another level and is prime to kill the dance floor. Hope you like the minimix, there will be more to come.
And if you love the artwork as much as I do, raise your 8-bit cartridge to designer Dan Trenkner, soon to be my roomate (again) in San Diego.

Nobody can argue against the almighty power of the mixtape, especially after a year like 2009. We have seen artists like Wale, Drake, and Kid Cudi rise from underground hip-hop to the main stage of radio, MTV and iTunes. As purveyors and champions of the mixtape, we here at BDN strive to filter the best of the best to you the reader. Here are some late season goodies that have been playing around the office the last few weeks.
First up is the much anticipated Mixtape Volume 4 by Hood Internet.

Last but not least, yet another masterful Jay-Z mixtape has been added to the already long list. Taking a slightly different approach, Music Without Borders has remixed the American Gangster Soundtrack with the sounds of 70’s Indian cinema. Give a “Hindustani Gangster” a listen.

Drake has made some regular appearances on BDN this year. A while back we posted his mixtape, “So Far Gone” and we’ve been semi addicted since. He comes from a family of musicians telling Complex Mag ” My uncle, Larry Graham played bass for Prince, my father, Dennis Graham, wrote for Al Green. [He helped] write “Let’s Stay Together” and “Love & Happiness.” My dad drummed for Jerry Lee Lewis. I’ve always been around great music.”
Here are 50 of his best remixes, freestyles and singles…
