drwex | More Mashup Industries mixes (Reply)

These guys have a way higher hit rate than anyone I've seen in a while. Good stuff.

DJ Schmolli - Roam You
A sentimental favorite that may only be appreciated by me and MizA. I love the B-52s and here they're being mashed up with Lily Allen's "Fuck You" track, which I blogged back on July 24th after a pointer to one of her other tracks.

Clivester - Mercy 4 Mutya
This triple mash tries to build on top of Groove Armada's "Song 4 Mutya" which is itself a hip-hop dance track with several samples (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lMJW4V49Yc). Duffy's Mercy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE2orthS3TQ) is a pretty standard old Motown-style track, a throwback to what Groove Armada is sampling from, and Dannii Minogue's "I Begin To Wonder" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FjDPMife_Y) gets added on top for some dance beats and a nice high vocal.

Marc Johnce - Feeling For Luxurious Love
Another triple mash using a less-popular Black Eyed Peas track, "I Gotta Feeling" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMxASjxRk1w), Gwen Stefani's slow sexy "Luxurious" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEpznTH9eZc), and Jason Hates Jazz's "Pray For Love" which itself has been remixed more times than I care to blog. Although it's not listed on the song notes I think Jonce is pulling in another beat line because the thing that makes this mash-up work is the way the rhythm lifts up the component tracks and I can't find that rhythm in any of the original items.

DJ Schmolli - You Give My Love A Bad Name
And speaking of making more in a mix than the components give you, take Justin Timberlake and Von Blowme... err Bon Jovi and prove that a good DJ can make aural magic out of crap componentry.
