make like a potato and mash

Folks, a little post from a cell in the library. I am working on a paper due later this week and was distracted by the beauty of a perfectly blended mash-up. I listen to a lot of dj mash-up tracks and am sharing a few of my favorites.

There are two elements to a successful mash-up track in my book. The first being the ability of the two tracks to sync together and keep the flow of each individual song while creating a new sound that still works. The second factor being the recognition of the two (or more) individual songs. It is never good listen to a mash-up where neither song is recognized. All of these mash-ups fit both factors for me. I have faith in your music knowledge and hope the second factor is met for everyone. If not, I suggest listening to the song you don’t know and re-listen to the mash-up. For me this usually brings more appreciation for the mash-up. Anyways, I think remixes and mash-ups are a lot of fun to listen to. Familiarity with a twist. enjoy
