MashupCiti

Ci! Muy bien! Очень хорошо. I really like this. Makes me want to go cruising in the warm sun.

A while ago I read a post on another music site about how all mashups are pretty much the same now. The author was bitching about how many LMFAO and Lady GaGa mashups are out there and nothing that goes outside of the box. To that good sir (or madam) I pray thee tell, “Fuck off”. Let me introduce you to G3Rst, one of MashupCiti’s favorite mashup producers.

Club thumper. Kinda takes me back to some early raves in the 90′s.  It is a welcome addition here to MashupCiti.

One of the more popular questions we get here at MashupCiti, other than requests to mash two songs for a wedding, is this, “What do I need to make a mashup?” Well quit simply you need an idea. Like all of us, we hear one song and may make a connection with another. Probably due to the constant sampling or the very popular (for now) re-envisioning of 80′s and 90′s tracks. Did I imagine Flo-Rida re-purposing a Dead or Alive track. So let’s say you have an idea, song A and song B. The next step is to start working that into reality.

We have several mashup tutorials here, each using different software suites. Some free, some you have to pay for. Each are excellent in their own right and each really will cater to your music style. So to get you started, here are a few tutorials;

• How to make a mashup by imranarif
• DJ Flashard Multitrack Recorder review (for the iPad!)
• Removing vocals from MP3s
• Ableton live mashup

So there you go. This should get you started and on your way to creating some sweet mashups! Once you get done, be sure to share them in mashup communities like GYBO, Mashuptown, Global DJ Network or Sound Unsound. Once you’re ready, send them here to MashupCiti and we may post them!

I like Koyotes mashups. He keeps shit classy by mashing up some classic Wolfgang Gartner. Enjoy the weekend!
