Artist Introduction: The White Panda

This mash-up duo seems to be in existence to serve the dance party needs eclectic music bloggers everywhere. The White Panda are brilliant. If you've been into any sort of popular or indie music in the past decade, you will find something on here that you love, and then you will say, "How the shit did they think to put ____ over ____?"

The individual mash-ups featured on this mixtape, cleverly entitled Versus, are available as longer stand-alone tracks on their website, but they work just fine as one smoothly blended, hour-long mixtape. For those of you looking to play host to a dance party (I'm looking at you, every single student at UVa with Off-Grounds housing), play this! It's got everything you hear at a typical frat party (no Tay Swift or Miley though, sorry to be misleading), but it's presented in a fresh enough way you won't have to be halfway into a case of Natty to get into it.

Check it out here, and if my impassioned post didn't convince you to listen to the whole thing, check out these standout tracks "What You Know about Little Secrets" (TI vs. Passion Pit), "Party Where Your Head's At" (Basement Jaxx vs. Tonite Only), and "Army of Yeah" (Wiz Khalifa vs. Umek & Beltek vs. Usher).
