Virtual DJ http://virtualdj.multiply.com/ Hi there, this is just a little blog I maintain to keep anyone notified on my efforts in mashups. I am not posting music here anymore, but you can still find them through the links section. My main blog is at <a href="http://masheduniverse.blogspot.com"> http://masheduniverse.blogspot.com</a> You can also find me on My Space at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/masheduniverse"> http://www.myspace.com/masheduniverse </a> Sat, 24 May 2008 12:42:51 -0000 Sat, 24 May 2008 21:14:00 -0000 Virtual DJ http://images.virtualdj.multiply.com/logo http://virtualdj.multiply.com 100 100 Electroswamp - Talking Heads vs Goldfrapp <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_mA2JurXoGaY/SDgG_oapvgI/AAAAAAAAADI/LsVAuI_jUbo/s1600-h/Swamp+600.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; " src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_mA2JurXoGaY/SDgG_oapvgI/AAAAAAAAADI/LsVAuI_jUbo/s320/Swamp+600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203917059677339138" border="0"></a> When I was listening to Ooh La La by <a href="http://www.goldfrapp.co.uk/">Goldfrapp</a> I thought that the chorus could probably match very well with the chorus in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_Heads">Talking Heads</a> song Swamp. What I did not expect was that the two songs would match entirely so well. In my opinion Swamp is one of the weaker Talking Heads' songs, but in this combo I like it a lot.

I am not entirely sure about this one, it seems alright to me but also very regular as if it misses something. Maybe I have heard it too much already. So I did finish it and you can make up your mind about this one.

I thought Ball of Confusion by the Temptations would match well with this. Then, to get along with the subject matter, War by Edin Starr was added and One Mic by Nas. The only problem is that I do not have the dirty pella by Nas, so I extracted the muted words from the original but the difference in sound is noticable, (fortunately it's only in the second verse) which I then tried to mask with sounds effect, from the track by Paul Hardcastle - 19. (Thanks to dj prince for the samplepack). If anyone has the original pella by Nas, I would like to redo this, because it's still bothering me a bit. It turned out to be my longest mashup up ever, clocking in at 8:41.

I don’t know if a cover of a mashup has been made before but here it is. I was wondering how <A href="http://www.myspace.com/djkrazyben">KrazyBen’s</A> splendid mashup of Kraftwerk and Timbaland, ‘’The Way Models Are’’ (from last year) would sound if the original Kraftwerk backing track would be replaced by the cover <A href="http://www.balanescu.com/">The Balanescu Quartet</A> made of The Model. Lately, when working on my Psycho Robots track, this thought got into my mind again and so I decided to just try it for fun’s sake. The result was pleasingly enough to me and I decided to give this a go. Because I considered it a bit lame to post only this track I also went searching into material that would fit with another of the Kraftwerk covers by this quartet. In the end I settled with Shakira’s Whenever, Wherever with backing of Computer Love by the Balanescu Quartet. Timing wasn’t easy, the backing track slowed down considerably in... http://virtualdj.multiply.com/journal/item/30/2_Mashups_with_the_Balanescu_Quartet_covering_Kraftwerk Tue, 4 Mar 2008 21:29:00 -0000 Whenever, Wherever Computer Love - Balanescu Quartet vs Shakira Balanescu Quartet - Computer Love vs Shakira - Whenever, http://virtualdj.multiply.com/links/item/36/Whenever_Wherever_Computer_Love_-_Balanescu_Quartet_vs_Shakira Tue, 4 Mar 2008 13:37:12 -0000 The Way I Model - Balanescu Quartet vs Timbaland The Balanescu Quartet - The Model vs Timbaland - The Way I Are based on Krazyben's mashup: The Way Models http://virtualdj.multiply.com/links/item/35/The_Way_I_Model_-_Balanescu_Quartet_vs_Timbaland Tue, 4 Mar 2008 13:35:23 -0000 Psycho Robots - Kraftwerk vs Talking Heads <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_mA2JurXoGaY/R6-F82iE5fI/AAAAAAAAACo/voeNIPr3YfU/s1600-h/psycho+robots+600x600.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_mA2JurXoGaY/R6-F82iE5fI/AAAAAAAAACo/voeNIPr3YfU/s320/psycho+robots+600x600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165494578094335474" border="0"></a> Two classic tunes from two of my own favorite bands in this mashup: Psycho Robots: Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (from Stop Making Sense) Kraftwerk - Robots the track has been tweaked after some helpful comments (click on the divshare logo to download link also at the links tab) http://virtualdj.multiply.com/journal/item/29/Psycho_Robots_-_Kraftwerk_vs_Talking_Heads Mon, 11 Feb 2008 08:15:00 -0000 Psycho Robots - Kraftwerk vs Talking Heads vs2 Kraftwerk- Robots Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (2nd tweaked http://virtualdj.multiply.com/links/item/34/Psycho_Robots_-_Kraftwerk_vs_Talking_Heads_vs2 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 23:35:29 -0000 Empty Islands (Supremes vs Madredeus vs Cardigans) Supremes - My World Is Empty Without You Madredeus - As Ilhas dos Açores Cardigans - http://virtualdj.multiply.com/links/item/33/Empty_Islands_Supremes_vs_Madredeus_vs_Cardigans Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:56:04 -0000 Empty Islands (Madredeus vs Supremes vs Cardigans) <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/R5zQ5woKCoUAAGKsDyM1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.virtualdj.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R5zQ5woKCoUAAGKsDyM1/empty%20islands%20600x600.jpg?et=9JqVeH2sbtx1WyEjB3R3GA&nmid=&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145&nmid=79484145" border="0"></a>Empty Islands (Madredeus vs Supremes vs Cardigans) This mashup is in total contrast with the former that I made.

For that Halloween work I had used a small bit of her version of I Put A Spell On You. To use the whole track I needed something that sounded a bit dirty and nasty and I think this <a href="http://www.thedigitalism.com/">Digitalism</a> track complements her vocals.

The aim was to make a Christmas song that would make Cliff Richard look away in shame. This one does not feature Cliff, but Michael Jackson appears to have a somewhat unexpected masochistic streak somewhere in the song. Vocals: several Christmas songs from the Motown label, like the Supremes, Jackson 5, Temptations and Smokey Robinson Music:    Pornsonic – Nice ‘N Sleazy Does It and a sample from Justify My Love by Madonna Cameos: George Friedrich Händel, Snoop Dogg, quite a lot of heavy panting, Donna Summer amd Britney Atrribute: A whip Available <A href="http://www.divshare.com/download/3013895-5ff">here</A> (link also at the links tab) http://virtualdj.multiply.com/journal/item/25/Santa_Does_Detroit_A_Motown_XXXmas_Carol Thu, 6 Dec 2007 11:36:46 -0000 Editors vs Robbie Williams Sin Race: Editors - Rat Race vs Robbie Williams - Sin Sin http://virtualdj.multiply.com/links/item/30/Editors_vs_Robbie_Williams Sun, 2 Dec 2007 23:53:57 -0000 Sin Race (Editors vs Robbie Williams) <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/R1NEPwoKCo8AAFCVPXw1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.virtualdj.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R1NEPwoKCo8AAFCVPXw1/sin%20race.jpg?et=9rWIbf65gc4mJoTf%2B2C11g" border="0"></a>Sin Race Editors - Rat Race (instrumental) vs Robbie Willliams - Sin Sin Sin (acapella) The pella was the first one I ever made myself by using phase inversion on an instrumental track and adding that to the full mix.

This version has Diamanda Galas singing parts of I Put A Spell On You during the chorus. It is more than a bit out of key, but for me that added some creepiness to the content of the song. After all, who expects a witch to sing in key? Not everyone shared this opinion of mine though, so on the album that vocal part was dropped (and I like that version as well). But for those with less sensitive ears, here it is.
