Mashups
Born to Feel This
blink 182 vs. Bruce Springsteen
I think I really just wanted to try putting the riff from the “Born to Run” chorus over some other music. Novel if nothing else.
Fixed, Hands Down
Coldplay vs. Dashboard Confessional
Not sure why I used the crying Dawson’s Creek guy for the art for this one.
Power the Casbah
Kanye West vs. The Clash
By the numbers? Sure. I’m proud of myself for successfully editing the vocal out of the King Crimson sample at the end of each verse.
Lost in Transit
Eminem vs. Brand New
Despite all the stuff with Brand New, I’m proud of this production.
In a Big Country On My Own
Robyn vs. Big Country
“Dancing on My Own” is one of those tracks where any vocal you throw over it is instantly imparted with new dimensions of emotional depth. It’s like putting the song in a Gundam.
Every Teardrop is a Super Bass
Nicki Minaj vs. Coldplay
I’m not too cool to say I like this Coldplay song a lot.
Gangsta Ice Cream
Battles vs. tUnE-yArDs
Pretty serendipitous that these two songs from bands I love would come out the same year, have an acapella and instrumental available, and basically fit together perfectly with minimal tweaks.
Get Away from Yoü and I
Yuck vs. Lady Gaga
I think I made this without ever listening to the Lady Gaga song. Still works pretty good!
