Trying to be not petty but I posted this weeks ago and nobody really cared: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3804637 In any case, I really like how they explain how to user can actually use it. I dont know what everyone else thinks, but I feel like everyone in the age braket 18-30 wants to be a dj at a party.

Your headline is more accurate and descriptive, but this headline knows its audience a lot better. This a lesson about marketing in there somewhere.

Since people are suggesting online stations here, Notch (he of Minecraft fame) often listens to http://www.di.fm/electro/ and somehow I got addicted to it as well while watching him code his Ludum Dare entry. Kinda high energy though.

I've been a paying subscriber to di.fm for years. It's great.

Honestly, I barely know what the different station names mean; I just flip through the stations until I find one that has a beat/sound that matches what I'm looking for at that moment.

I can hack/design for hours without even knowing it while listening to Kap Slap. It also helps you run a 5K faster than you might have originally imagined :) Anyone who likes remixes/house/dubstep I'd encourage you check it out! The spring break mix is an hour long and it's full of goodies. http://soundcloud.com/kapslap/kap-slap-spring-break-mix p.s. I'm only evangelizing this stuff so much because honestly if I set…

Love this, any more recco's?

For Mashups collections, check out Bootie: http://bootiemashup.com/ (and if you're in SF, definitely check them out at DNA Lounge). They do a downloadable annual Best Of album. http://bootiemashup.com/bestof/ (IMHO, the older albums are better.)

If you're looking for a full-album experience, check out the Kleptones. Here's an awesome HTML5 visualization of their album A Night at the Hip Hopera: http://mashupbreakdown.com/nhh

And, of course, Girl Talk

Should be a lesson for you, marketing matters. Your title didn't get people to click and enjoy.

Yea I know. Apparently I should be adding hacker, programming, Ask PG, ycombinator application etc to everything I post :)

I think though I did just get a lesson in what makes people click. Kinda like when I see "Kardashian's body and photoshop" headlines in my FB feed...

If you're looking for more mashups, check out Girl Talk, Milkman, and Super Mash Bros. If you're looking for similar electronic music sets, here are a couple I've been digging lately: Kaskade's set from Coachella, soundboard recording. http://www.themusicninja.com/live-set-full-kaskade-coachella... Porter Robinson's BBC Essential Mix - http://soundcloud.com/edmtunestv/porter-robinson-essential-m... Knife Party's BBC…

Thanks!

One caveat, my headline can only ask people to click, though enjoyment/fulfillment is mostly dependent on individual preferences, right?
