Mash-Ups in Review

Do you know what a mash-up is? Well, you should. More than a remix, and something approaching an entirely new song when it is done right, I've been a fan of mash-ups for a while now and it really sounds like they're coming into their own as a style and approach to music.

Bootie (the world's first Mash-Up club experience) puts out a yearly compilation of what they think is the best in the genre. This year in a continuous mix. Unfortunately this is version two because Nirvana's record label made them take down Lobsterdust's great NirGaga mash.

 Couple this with the amazing work of DJ Earworm and his 2009 edition of "United States of Pop" and you can start to see where this style is going.
