Mick Boogie has long been well known in the blogosphere as a talented producer and mixtape guru, hosting tapes for everyone from Big Sean to Eminem. After Peter Bjorn & John released their 2009 album Living Thing, he took it upon himself to craft one of the best remix albums I've heard in awhile. The tape's production is pretty damn good, especially since I'm not a Peter Bjorn & John fan at all, but Boogie is able to use a lot of their original rhythms and melodies while making the songs sound fresh. The host of lyricists is also one of the albums strengths, made up of a number of rising stars including Donnis, Big Sean, Wale, and Fashawn. These two songs are my the best on the album in my opinion, especially "Stay This Way" which seamlessly incorporates the band's signature "oohs" and whistles into an awesome beat.
