Black Glove Could Supply Your Weekend Playlist


White Panda can't control their BPM. Easter Egg is overrated. Super Mash Bros. overdo-it on the pop-punk references. Girl Talk and E-603 are laying low. The mash-up in general is becoming a meme and the only act consistently putting out greatness right now is The Hood Internet.

Well, them and Black Glove.

While this duo from Vermont doesn't turn the genre on its ear, Black Glove mash-ups (thankfully) aren't played out and make some pretty choice references. Sure, the guys mix in overly-familiar hip-hop, but that's par for the mash-up course -- It's what you pair it with that counts, and Black Glove slickly sample some fine indie-electro acts (M83, The xx, The Tough Alliance, Robyn, The Knife, Major Lazer, Crystal Castles, etc.).

I got hold of their "Teach Me How to Dougie" remix featuring a familiar+chill M83 sample and, after touring their website and downloading their mixtapes, I was hooked. These guys are solid.

It's Saturday. Pick up a case of PBR and grab their mixtapes or take a tour of my favourite tracks down below.
