The epic mash-up which was released at the end of December features the top artists of the year, ranging from Lady Gaga to Usher.

On a summer afternoon in Central Park last year, Dartmouth percussion instructor Douglas Perkins and five other percussionists delivered a revolutionary rendition of Greek composer Iannis Xenakis' "Persephassa." Praised by critics and spectators alike, the performance which took place on Central Park Lake in the Park was recently named one of the top 10 classical music events in 2010 by New York Magazine. The performance was part of the fourth annual Make Music New York festival, a one-day event in which over 1,000 public spaces across New York City's five boroughs are transformed into venues for free concerts.

And with that pithy explanation, he proceeded to demonstrate one of the fundamental moves of the dance style known as popping. He raised his arm in an almost robotic fashion and began to alternately contract and relax his muscles, producing a quick jerk in his arm. Moving to the beat of the music, he continued to dance freestyle until the song finished.
