DJ Skiddle - Taste It (2011 Mashtape) by Dj Skiddle on Mixcloud

DJ Skiddle has been passionately refining his music-mixing skills for over a decade, and has been showcasing these skills in Seattle for the past three years. His dance mixes and mash-ups are staple party anthems at nightclubs across the city, namely on Capitol Hill. For two years, he has also been helping commuters unwind on Mondays and, more recently, Tuesdays and Thursdays, with C89.5 FM's "Drive at 5” mixshow. His trademark blend of Mainstream Dance, Pop, House, and Electro bring a unique music perspective to "Team Drive@5" and his shows are known for their high energy. For nearly a decade, Skiddle has been creating mash-ups, and he incorporates live mash-ups into his stage sets. His "Mashers" seamlessly blend the energies of mulitple songs. Unlike many mash-up DJs, most of Skiddle's mashups are Mainstream Dance-based and geared toward a more modern dancefloor. Skiddle released "Taste It," his first mashtape, in September 2011.
