Mash-up

Niveous · Post by **Niveous** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 9:14 am

Despite my acoustic leanings, I love mash-up. And I was wondering if there were others on the board who share a fondness for the art of taking two songs and blending them into one.

Here's an interesting one I just found today:
Hey we will rock ya as done by DJ Prince.

So far I'm pretty impressed. I like it better than Yoshimi Battles The Hip-Hop Robots. I am disappointed that they didn't use just the songs from A Night At The Opera, though.

This is an amazingly flawless mashup. DJ Prince surprises me constantly. Check out a mix of the Human League & the Jackson 5!

I totally just burned that Kleptone album and shit it is good. This is my first real experience with mash-up and I'm definitely gonna have to check out more of it.

Here is a DYI mash up instruction page. For the most part covers stuff you guys already know, phase reversal to remove vox and stuff like that, still interesting though.

The demo song, funny enough, is titled "Cold Sweat".

Also, DJ Reset is widely known as the mashup king. You can check out his work here.

Be sure to get the KCRW set. It includes the now famous Frontin' on Debra and other great stuff in a 50 minute interview and dj set.

I found The Slack Album the other day on my computer after hunting around for forgotten mp3s. Some of the tracks are rather cut up (and good), but some are very mash-uppy (and good): notably In the Mouth, an Encore (a mash of In the Mouth a Desert and Encore).

I heard a DJ live at the 2002 Voodoo Festival do a mashup of Tool's "Sober" with the vocals from Outkast's "BOB." It was brilliant, but I haven't been able to find it online anywhere.

That was DJ Z-Trip and I don't think he's ever recorded that, he only did it live. So, you'd have to hunt down a concert bootleg which shouldn't be that hard. Someone on etree is bound to have one.

These are more remixes than mashups, but they damn good.

Heard a very good mash-up on the radio the other night - which will mean most likely nothing to many of you. It was 50 Cent & the Grange Hill Theme Tune. Cute.

50 Cent... And the Grange Hill theme? As in the TV show?

Um, wow...

Yup. good stuff. Since hearing it, I can't seem to track it down anywhere though ...

Hmmm. I can find a bunch of links for Nelly vs. Grange Hill but no 50. But I'll keep looking.

Meanwhile- Spin Magazine listed a mash-up album in its best albums of 2004, Danger Mouse's "The Gray Album" aka Jay-Z's Black Album vs. The Beatles' White Album. And it's an internet only download, so here's a link- enjoy!

I don't know if it's worth all the hype. You be the judge. I'm just happy to see praise for the civil disobedience.

wow, i totally forgot. i bittorrented the grey album months ago and haven't bothered to check it out yet.

in other news: it was indeed nelly and not 50cent, and in still other news: j$ has gotten his hands (well, his figurative digital hands) on a copy of the song, so all is good.

I guess I can't be the king of mashup, but I did remix a Landfills song together with one of mine a couple months ago. It was interesting, putting two completely different songs together into one.

Ha, that was great! (The old discussion page made me feel my age, though. Imagine being old to enough to recognize the samples? My ...)

Also, thanks 15-16 for the Beastles. Awesome!

yes, apologies for that. That'll teach me to tune out radio DJs in my head - I wondered why I couldn't find it anywhere! Thanks to 15-16 Puzzle for stepping in and helping me out. I am grooving to it even as we speak!

Flaming Lips doing mashup!

It's Flaming Lips covering Butthole Surfers' "Moving to Florida" to the beat of "Seven Nation Army"!

Mashup fights! at CC Mixter

(I haven't listened to any of these but it looks fun and perhaps something you'd dig, Niv.
