OCDJ - Hooray (2007)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Sharing turf with the likes of Dan Deacon, Video Hippos and Santa Dads, Baltimore's "Wham City" brings you Ocdj, a.k.a. Dan Gaeta. OCDJ makes 8-bit “candy” crunk and Baltimore club that sounds like Tetris and feels like the dirty south. A mix of melodic synth compositions and 8-bit hip-hop remixes (Rich Boy, Young Buck, Three 6 Mafia), Hooray! is a blast from start to finish. Standout tracks include "Woopash" and "Guess What."

Mash-up artists are a dime a dozen and often become very repetetive, but "Hooray" is a far cry from the norm of mash-up culture. Lets use an analogy; Where as most mash up artist sound like they stole the good parts of hip hop culture and mixed them with other existing cultures, OCDJ sounds like he stormed the ghetto, painted it bright pink and replaced every thug's gun with an ice cream cone and everybody was waaaayyyyyyyy into it.
