Two For Tuesday: Let's Go Clubbin' - Part Two

Part two of "Let's Go Clubbin'" spotlights another Pheugoo dance groove.  In "Humps Up," Pheugoo fuses the club-ready groove of Madonna's "Hung Up" with Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps."  One could almost argue that this mash-up is practically pre-made given that it fuses two club-ready grooves.  In this regard, one might even go as far as saying this mash-up could have been done by anyone.  This is where I respectfully disagree.  Although the fusion of two relatively distinct genres is one component of the mash-up scene (e.g., Pop pella with hip-hop beats), more DJs are producing danceable mash-ups combining club grooves with pop/hip-hop pellas.  Many of these attempts wither away fast while others add dimension and depth to the ever expanding mash-up scene.  Pheugoo does an excellent job to not overproduce either of the two root songs - a symptom of many DJs trying to create danceable mash-ups.  He utilizes a very clean Madonna instrumental and tasteful effects (busy dial tone and phone operator) to present a nicely packaged dance groove.  Let's all turn up the bass on this one, turn down the lights and grab a pair of glow sticks.  There's no cover charge here!  Enjoy.
