Sunday Soundbyte: Tempting Adventure

Coming at you from Professor Quillam's Lab is this weekend's Sunday Soundbyte showcasing DJ Reset.  I'm not too sure where this homie-G is from but I will say he provides the listening world with a new perspective on the classic Temptations song "My Girl."  In his mash-up titled "My Girl Hotel,"  Reset provides a new patchwork backdrop on the innocent girl from "My Girl" turned R&B tramp in the song titled "Hotel" by Cassidy featuring R Kelly.  Many mash-ups crash and burn at the beginning stages due to improper instrumental selection (i.e., not in key).  However, this digital fusion stands on firm ground with the acoustic guitar riffs from "Hotel."  Reset provides a well structured format to give the mash-up direction and continuity.  Further, his use of the short stop-time segment two-thirds of the way into the song adds a nice change to the repetitive instrumental and a welcome "bridge" section (albeit short).  Overall, this mellow construction project evidences good production skills.  Notwithstanding the distinct sound quality differences between the pella and the instrumental, this one gets four and one half stars all the way to Motown.
