Straus' September Mix

Flybyblog and blockmates (hereby known as The Entourage) were sitting in Adams D-Hall the other night when we had a near celebrity run-in. No, Ben Affleck did not trump house-only dining—it was none other than campus pseudo-celeb DJ Straus.

“Wait, you’re DJ Straus? We’ve like heard of you!”

After being recruited to “Club at the Pub Weekends”--bimonthly at the Queens Head from 10-2am, featuring DJ Straus--Flyby decided to give DJ Straus’ September mix a little test run. Since Flyby makes no claim to authority on all (any) things hip, we enlisted the help of The Entourage.

DJ Straus’ September Mix:

Track Time: 10 minutes 50 seconds

Playlist:

1. "Daft Punk v. UPenn Girls (Electric Remix)" - Hoodie Allen

2. "Voltage" - Playboy Tre & Mickey Factz (prod by B.o.B)

3. "Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix)" - The Ting Tings

4. "Extraball (Duotone Remix)" - Yuksek ft. Amanda Blank

5. "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake (La Dolce Vita Remix)" - The Sounds

6. "Let the bodies hit thunder (DJ HLM MORE BASS EDIT) - Crookers vs DJ SEGA

The Entourage thought the mix began a little slow but picked up around the minute mark. Overall The Entourage (a tough crowd, mind you) thought the mix was a little repetitive and needed “more mash.”

“It’s like mashed potatoes that have clumps,” Flybyblog’s roommate said.

Track 2, “Voltage” got high marks in the mix, while The Entourage wasn’t feeling track 6. But the September Mix scored points for being, as DJ Straus says on his website, “genre-infused” and original.

Don’t take our word for it though, (after all, Flyby cranked up Whitney Houston and started a karaoke party after this) check out the September Mix yourself here.
