Recently bought a new iPod and can once again listen to mixes in my car. These are two of my favorites, and while they differ in style, they share the fact that they can’t be played near the kids.

Elektric Cowboy puts together a straight-ahead crunchy dance mix. It starts out a bit weak, but gets hot by track two. The Blondie and PIL mashups really shine.

Dopplebanger mixes a supermellow package, mashing Gooom artists like M83 and Villeneuve with hip hop acts like Missy E and Eminem. Reminds me of the Kleptones’ “Yoshimi Battles The Hip-Hop Robots“.

Stumbled onto this mixtape gem today and have been listening to it pretty much nonstop. Keeb$ sets the tone immediately with a killer electro remix of Prodigy’s Charly and then jumps into a fab take on MJ’s Thriller. Loads of crunchy stuff in the middle – some hyphy, some glitch and some tracks that would be at home on the French Gooom label. Most importantly, the dude knows how to bring a set to a close, with a bittersweet track called Robot High School.
