Later this week, Mates of State and Black Kids kick off a US trek that runs the length of April. In celebration of the double-barreled coast-to-coast barnburner, DJA of Mad Decent has created a Black Kids vs. Mates of State mash-up, premiered by the folks at RCRD LBL yesterday. Mates’ “Re-arrange Us” and the Kids’ “Look At Me” act as source material for the bass-heavy mixture, available at the RCRD LBL link below.
