The Top One Percenters Mixtape Volume 20

It's been a minute since I created the last Top One Percenters mixtape. But it hasn't been for lack of trying. I'm trying to not do the whole "illegal uploading of music" thing so I tried to make the mixtape in Spotify. Well, the whole thing about about Spotify is that they don't really have remixes. I went to Souncloud to find the remixes and they didn't have a lot of non-dance stuff. So I'm left with a combo of both — YouTube. 

Volume 20 is the most dance centric mixtape I've done this far and it's really reflecting the type of music I've been listening to for the past year plus. There just hasn't been enough good rap music for a while. But maybe Kendrick will change that. Either way, check out Florrie, Anna Lunoe, Ladyhawke, DJ Fresh, Years & Years, and more in the Top One Percenters Mixtape Volume 20. Peep the YouTube playlist after the jump.

Lauren Flax + Sia - "You've Changed"


A decent amount of people are familiar with Sia's "You've Changed", the first single from her 2010 album We Are Born. It's a dope song — it's crazy upbeat and uplifting, but not in a Meghan Trainor "All About That Bass" kind of way (I fucking hate that song.) What a lot of people don't know is that "You've Changed" originated as a dance song — it was Lauren Flax featuring Sia. After the Lauren Flax track was released, Sia reworked the song for her own album. You can definitely hear the flavor of Sia's version in the original. Makes me wish the Lauren Flax version got more love.
