Culture Bully proudly presents this retrospective mix, combining elements of the year that was, represented by the collected efforts of a hodgepodge of producers from around the world. 2008 Mashed is an album that utilizes the popular, the outrageous, the kitschy and the under-appreciated. So as history welcomes the pop music of 2008 and accepts it as its own, we thank you for listening and hope that you enjoy this collection.
