Marcus Shadden ‘Popsicle Vol. 3’

Here’s a mix, perfect for your end of summer Labor Day Weekend vibes. Let sun and the summer set with Popsicle Vol. 3 courtesy of our friend and homie Marcus Shadden. He always has a knack for mixing in feel-good oldies but goodies with today’s new sounds and this is no different. Starting with “I’m Real” by J-Lo and Ja Rule, splicing in a 2006 guilty pleasure Nelly Furtado & Timbaland’s “Promiscuous” or the smooth new Disclosure remix of “Frontin'”, and filtering in a dash of hip hop in between, Marcus does his thing here. I especially love the close with PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “East Liberty”, given that first lyric. Enjoy this for the next hour below:

Fun sidenote: At the 30 minute mark or so, I sensed the mix had the vibe of Kiesza’s “Hideaway” and thought to myself, this mix needs this song. Sure enough, at the 39 minute mark…

Videos

Kiesza “Hideaway” Jimmy Kimmel Live

Are you up on Kiesza’s “Hideaway”? 67 million people are already, and for good reason. The original music video is below — the viral, one-take hit that garnered that aforementioned huge number. I repeat, one-take. Kiesza and her dancers snap with style and well-choreographed dance moves that I’d actually get familiar with the music video below first.

Well, in one of the coolest late-night TV performances I’ve seen, Kiesza remixes the choreography in a walk down Hollywood Blvd. and into the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage. Though the choreography is not as complex overall as the music video (given how complex the music video was), I appreciate it much the same. The tall guy with the backwards hat was especially slick and you’ll see him again with all of the other dancers on stage. Oh, and there’s one more dancer I’m not mentioning, but I’ll let you be as surprised as I was, hah! A must-see below.

BONUS: Kiesza’s second performance for the online viewers is for the similarly catchy “Giant In My Heart”. Get accustomed here:
