This Week in Mashups 04/12/2008

The Hood Internet was back this week, this time around providing a mashup utilizing a track from one of the year’s most anticipated albums, Portishead’s Third. Combining its lead single “Machine Gun,” the band’s first single in roughly a decade, with Juvenile creates something raw yet unsettling. Portishead’s new material is brilliant, but the beat from “Machine Gun” doesn’t offer itself up as something as readily accessible as the track it’s paired with, Juvenile’s “In My Life.” Also this week, DJ STV SLV delivered a fantastic banger featuring Blaqstarr.
