    Dubstep Mashup of the Day: Think one Skrillex song is bad? Try nineteen. At once.

    Yeah.

    I BURST OUT LAUGHING AT THE DROP

    edit: To (maybe) explain why I laughed, the sheer wall of sound at the jump between 2 songs to 11 songs is unexpected. Even though we’re told exactly what this video is, I’ve never heard anything like it before. We’re at a point in music production where people are “mashing-up” eleven different songs as a gag. The concept of it would have made no sense a decade ago.

    Team Teamwork, “Lupe Fiasco - I Gotcha (Sonic 3)”

    TT whipped up a primo sampler in Ocarina of Rhyme, (their mashup of Zelda classics and hip-hop bangers,) and I just found out that they gave the same treatment to a bunch of 16-bit tracks in their newest free LP Super Nintendo Sega Genesis. The Lupe + Sonic mashup here is the best that I’ve found. The flow sticks so well to the carnival beat and it’s a fun-loving feel all the way through— you don’t stop bouncing. The Sonic reference in the middle is a nice touch.

    Oh hey favorite things! Some wonderful person remade the Community intro in the style of Parks and Rec.

    What’s strange is how different this makes the show feel.

    Anatomy of a Mashup: Definitive Daft Punk visualized

    A mashup of 20+ Daft Punk songs, translated into pretty colors and such. Also makes it easier to appreciate the technical wizardry in the song, at some points there are seven samples all bumpin at once.

    “Mama Said Kick Ass (LL Cool J vs The Prodigy)” by DJTOPCAT

    You know, the source material isn’t some of my favorite work by either of these artists, but this mashup absolutely works. Uplifting and aggressive, here’s a song to blast when you’re stepping up to the plate.

    Brenton Duvall, “Mean Planes & Taylor Gangs (Wiz Khalifa vs. Taylor Swift)”

    This, combined with mashup tour-de-force “Teach Me How To Say It Ain’t So (Weezer vs. Cali Swag District)” by justincase as well as everything Deskhop has ever released, is teaching me very quickly about the future of single-song mashups. It simply isn’t enough to use the beat of one song and the vocals of another song, and it isn’t even enough to use a lot of samples a la DJ Earworm. It’s when people start using their own production skills to turn aspects of the track into an ubersong that we hit the future of music. Hell, this fits right in with the wide-reaching hip-hop samples and collaborations of the late 2000’s. What if Wiz Khalifa had actually released a song with Taylor Swift? It could sound a lot like this, and I’d like to believe that it’s what Brenton Duvall had in mind as he designed it.

    Or, put differently, this track might as well be as loved as B.o.B.’s “Airplanes,” right down to the hooky as fuck grrl-power chorus.

    Slaptop, “Lost”

    One of the most curious things about mashups that I’ve noticed is that in listening to them, I feel more moved by moments as opposed to entire compositions. Case in point: this mashup is fine. I’m glad “Hit That” by M.I.A. ends up with a little bit more exposure, but the entire thing isn’t remarkable on a Deskhop level or anything like that.

    Then you get to the four-sample conclusion starting at 2:40, which just comes out of nowhere to put together such disparate elements and manages to be the best 20 seconds of mashup I’ve heard all year, maybe? I’d have to think about that, and I shouldn’t speak too soon because Girl Talk is expecting to drop his next album before the year’s end, but those 20 seconds are huge. How often do you get three acapellas layered on top of each other?

    I’m not gonna link to download the song because you can download both of Slaptop’s albums on their website! Yaaaaay the future of music distribution
