DJ Earworm - Mashup
Posted on September 21st, 2007 by ecthompson
I pretended to be a DJ back in college and High School. That’s when you brought a turntable and some speakers. You were golden. Then scratching started. I was out. Now, you can electronically alter a song so that the tempo and beat match perfectly to the song that you are mixing. Bingo. Some clever cross-fades and you have something completely different but yet familiar. How about you take Madonna’s Like a Virgin and Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Finally add Cher’s Do You Believe. This is an incredible mix by DJ Earworm. (I wish I could take credit for finding it. Skippy the Kangaroo found it.)
I did a few mash-up remixes a while back, my favorite of which was a mix of Jay-Z’s “December 4th” and Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life”. Fun stuff.
If you can find it, a producer in the UK called Go Home Productions did a really good one of Madonna’s “Ray of Light” with a few different songs by the Sex Pistols. It’s probably my favorite of any mash-up I’ve ever heard.

I hope that you are better. We missed you the other night.
Thanks for your comments.
