Hey Champ, here's your victory march.

Occasionally you come across a mashup of two or three songs that seem to go together so well you wonder if they aren't, in fact, from the same song. And then, very rarely, you come across a DJ who can make this occasion happen again and again, and compile them all into one beautiful mix. And on an even rarer occasion said DJ will put the album out for free! Sasquach and Nessie stand asides, we have our new wonder on hand.

Heavy with 1970's disco sentimentality, but kept light with pop and rap tunes of the last few years, this album manages to an entirely listenable dance record. One of the highlights of the album, "Little Secrets", features 2009s most bloggable band, Passion Pit. Now, while I have been decidedly reserved about Passion Pit and I don't mean my bias to over ride this tracks potential; chanting children went out with MGMT's 2008 track "Kids". Asides from the fact that the playground chorus should have been left on the original track, Michael Angelakos' space aged soprano helps set the Saturday Night Fever mood for the rest of the album. While this vibe continues through out, a touch more versatility would have been appreciate. After several rounds it almost seems like they stripped a bunch of songs down and added the same back beat to eat of them.

The mix features two guest DJ tracks, Only Children and Raw Man. It is shocking how these two remixes of Hey Champs songs blend into the album. Listened to cohesively I would bet against even the most trained ear to pick out the guest DJs. My favorite tid bit about this album is the lyrical transition from victory marches to songs about girls that think their shit don't stink. Highlighted by Mike Posner's vocal description of a girl who "probably thinks she's cooler" than every one around her; "You need every one's eyes just to feel seen/ Girl, your so vein, you probably think that this song is about you." Perhaps I'm reading into it too much, but I can't help but imagine the progression of this album as the following:

"Good morning fine ass girl who I've never met before. We should fall in love and I'll remix a bunch of songs about it."
"I agree. Now, fetch me my chai tea latte. Half fat."
"Awah?"

Regardless of the monotony, when the sound being repeated is this good there will be swiveling. So, plan on having this album blasting at your next beer pong game - victory dances will ensue.
