That’s Right. After 2 months of inactivity, mas4 is back with a Lily Allen EP mashed with various Asian artists titled It’s Not Lily, It’s Masa. The artists included on this release are Namie Amuro, Koda Kumi & Tohoshinki (TVXQ), Utada, Ayumi Hamasaki, and JYONGRI. I highly recommend it and his other released albums, K-BOOTIE and J-BOOTIE. Check them out and download it from his blog:

Don’t know who mas4 is?
He’s basically a DJ who uses songs mostly from Korea and Japan mixed with U.S. chart-toppers. Here’s a bio from his blog:
MasaMIXES is a remix project developed by Masa (aka Carlos) since 2005.
It all started when I discovered the Sound Forge software and got interested in music production. That time I released my first mashup (Girls Yeah Top), and got many positive reviews about it. After getting known for my remixes among BoA’s fan communities around the web, I decided to expand my creations to other asian artists.
After all these years, I’ve been constantly encouraged to continue this project - through comments, reviews, tips and criticism - and I’d also thanks some talented friends I’ve made along this way, who joined me in some of my works and made them become real and successful: my partners ~kei, Eiri and Kuraudo.
2009 has started with the huge success of ADIOS 2008 special mashup, that hit the korean audience during January and got around 300,000 views on YouTube. All I want now is to keep the great results of 2008 during this year, expanding my network and making this webpage even more known!
As you can tell his remixes/mashes are not exclusive to Asian artists and creates a nice blend of Western and Eastern music. Thanks to his mashes, I was introduced to Kpop and various other artists and am very grateful for stumbling upon him. Below is the preview of this release and be sure to check out his other mixes and mashes. Who knows? You might find new artists to add to your collection.
And here are a couple of previews of his previous albums.
