We here at Killahbeez love The Hood Internet, so when I visited their site the other day to look for some new remixes and instead saw the new mixtape, Vol. 3. Took a quick listen and knew that this had to be shared with all you readers. Both ABX and STV SLV, keep the shit banging with their mashups and these mashups work, my favorite is the Chromeo vs Rihanna vs Michael Jackson, but with 34 tracks on this mix, it’s hard not to find a favorite. Oh and the cover for this mixtape itself is pretty ill. As mentioned this is the third in the series, if you missed out on the first two you can catch Vol. 1 here and Vol. 2 here. Also be sure to check out the interview we did with The Hood Internet awhile back here.
Have a listen here or give it a download for that drive into work.

Swedish songstress Lykke Li is all but 22 years old, but her debut album, Youth Novels, is making heads turn. An explosion of electronic pop-rock with a little new age thrown into the mix, Lykke Li’s raspy, almost childlike vocals transcend lightly-layered, minimalist instrumentals. Singles “I’m Good I’m Gone,” “Little Bit” and “Breaking It Up” are already impacting global airwaves, not to mention Lykke Li’s avant-garde sense of personal style, which has been heavily noted by more than one fashionista. Despite her busy touring schedule (read: over 25 stops which include Paris, London, New York, Vancouver, San Francisco and Copenhagen), Lykke Li gave Killahbeez a hot minute to answer a few questions that have been on our minds.
You’ve been touring a lot lately! First with El Perro Del Mar and now, solo. How is that going?
It’s going very well, thank you. Over my expectations!
Sarah Assbring, the sole member of Swedish exportEl Perro del Mar, will be hitting up Vancouver’s Red Room tonight with Lykke Li. The soft-spoken, khol-rimmed eyed Edie Sedgwick look alike has been on tour in North America since the beginning of May. After Vancouver, she’ll be hittin’ up Seattle, Portland, San Fran and L.A. before heading back to Europe to continue her summer tour.
El Perro del Mar, which translates into “the dog of the sea” in Spanish, began in December 2003 in Gothenburg. Since then, Assbring has released her lo-fi folk pop on two albums, Look! It’s El Perro del Mar and a self-titled follow up on Swedish label Hybris. This year, she released a third full-length, From the Valley to the Stars on the Licking Fingers label, home to The Concretes.
Get swept away in El Perro del Mar’s twilight pop before she heads across the Atlantic!
