Mashups and Mixes #1

Music in general can be conceived to be innovative (tracing back from what and how its made is very well buried and the tracing by itself becomes an art) and the other can be seen as something of Derivative Drive ( Where the essence of the original song still remains and the modification is not the prime attraction).

Here i come up with some good mashups that sample both these worlds of creating songs. The mix sometimes creates a whole new feel to the song where the mixture is contrasted with what u know of the songs originally and the actual new sound that is created by the overlapping or mixed songs.

This first one caught my eye in one of my late night searches - Seems like the guy(DJ Morgoth) is pretty big too.

The Chemical Brothers vs. Rammstein - Du Hast Mich Again


Here is something that gives you a feeling completely contrary to the original iron maiden song mixed in.

The Trooper Believer



Heres one that combines a classic with Radiohead. I personally think that the classical part can be accentuated in the song. But nevertheless this is something of a mashup. This is one of my favorite coverup artists (and otherwise too) on youtube !

Jack Conte (from Pamplamoose minus the cute one :) )



There are a few songs where the voices and the chords merge and these two songs i guess had something of a resemblance. Apart from the funny names the mashup comes up with, its got good resonant voice mixture. May be they could try this out with Karen Carpenter and Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks.

Shut Up The Maneater - Rihanna VS Nelly Furtado



The next song up is not really a mashup - but a composition By A R Rahman with Vanessa Mae for a movie. Its close to a mashup in terms of trying to introduce two contrasting styles within\, Fusion is not really the word here since its not a elements within another that is shown, its a contrast we observe (hopefully this doesnt sound like i am high on coke :P )

Raaga:


This discussion shall as always be revisited again :)

Hope you enjoyed these mixes, Please do send in mixes or mashups you find interesting !
