If there’s anything I learned from my career in competitive dance (and whole lot of stalking elite cheer squads via YouTube), it’s how to appreciate a mashup. I may be hilariously out of shape and beyond rusty, but play a good mashup, and I transform. Before you know it I’m a hair whipping, lip syncing, musical sensation. There’s a magical power mashups hold that I don’t think we’ll ever be able to comprehend. I’m positive that a mashup just epic enough could result in a spontaneous global flash mob style, choreographed musical outburst that could achieve world peace. Is my show choir background showing?
As each year comes to an end, and we all wonder how TF that happened so fast, it also means that our ears are soon to be graced with the masterpiece that is the end-of-the-year mashup. In case you’ve been living in a musical black hole, let me introduce you to the greats.
Robin Skouteris’s PopLove, DJ Earworm’s United States of Pop, and Daniel Kim’s Pop Danthology. Listen and thank me later. Pop Danthology released yesterday and not only is it beyond amazing, but there’s two of them. Can I get a hallelujah?
Part I features Cool For The Summer, Know Yourself, Trap Queen, What Do You Mean, and 41 other songs all crammed into four minutes of excellence.

I’m a little salty at the lack of Nick Jonas, but I think I’ll manage. Your move, Earworm and Skouteris..
