I consider myself a HUGE mashup fan. I wish more people were aware of the genre. So I made this thread to show you guys the ropes. First, what is mashup?
[quote=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(music)]A mashup (also mash up and mash-up) is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another. To the extent that such works are 'transformative' of original content, they may find protection from copyright claims under the "fair use" doctrine of copyright law.[/quote]

I think Girl Talk is widely considered the King of Mashup. All upcoming mashup artists were in some way inspired by Girl Talk. Some consider him the original and the best. What people dont know is that he isnt the only person in the mashup game...

Speaky is actually my personal favorite. His mashups are very similar to those of Girl Talk. His music has a very high energy feel. I never get tired of Speakys mashups.

E603 is probably the second most commonly known mashup DJ. His music has a nice glitchy feel to it. His music will last you a while. E603 is a good artist to show someone who you are introducing to mashup.

Torpeedoh is a young and upcoming mashup artist. He loves what he does and seems very down to earth. His mashups are near Girl Talk, E603, and Speaky status... but not quite yet.
