E-603 - Torn Up

Ever imaged if Fred Flinstone and Tommy Pickles made music together? Well, I have. And this isn't it. But this is hella cool anyways. I've always enjoyed mash-up mixes. Some have sucked, and most only have a cool song or two. But E-603's (a.k.a. Ethan Ward) album, Torn Up, rivals Girl Talk's Feed The Animals. The transitions are seamless, the beats are perfect, and there are some great samples (I mean, anything that uses Toto is dank). But Vampire Weekend also makes an appearance, along with Ratatat, Modest Mouse, MGMT, Passion Pit, and Outkast (by far the best song ever written about Rosa Parks).

But it's a mash-up album. And, for some reason, this one feels long at times. Be sure to listen to the track, "Hey Shorty". You'll understand what I mean. But the CD is good. It's done well, and It's definitely worth downloading for free. Grab it here.
