COPYCAT sent me his latest – and holy eff it’s a great escape into a mellow groove. His remix of Dean Martin’s “Mambo Italian” takes the bassline on a bit of a reggae trip. Add a sharp break to the beat and you get a track with some serious mass appeal. It’s minimal enough to play at dim parties, and groovy enough to find on cafe compilations world-wide. Throw this on and yer gramma might cut a rug.

MP3: Dean Martin – Mambo Italiano (A Copycat remix)

Last month Copycat sent me one of his mashups and I feel terrible for not posting it until now. It’s totally not intentional – things easily get burried in my inbox these days. LOTEK (aka the other beat captain on THE SHAKE) first turned me onto Copycat’s work a couple years ago and I’ve been impressed with his productions ever since. If the two tunes in this bootleg weren’t so recognizable you’d be hard pressed to tell that there were two songs in this quality blend. Copycat matches them so well.

For this mashup Copycat explains, “I was working on something completely different, but it turned out my good friend Divide & Kreate kind of had the same idea and beat me to it. To spite him and get a little revenge, I decided to nick one of his old ideas and do a little hommage to him. Well, I am the Copycat, aren’t I…?”
