Mashup (music) was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. Review: August 12, 2006. |

I think Super Mash Bros. needs its own page.

CB,
I don't remember the issue date (sometime in late 1984 or the year 1985) of the Melody Maker. It's the issue with Bronski Beat on the cover. That quote has always stuck in my head, even before PWEI existed. If someone else can please substansiate this, I would appreciate it. Two Halves, who is at the job right now...
Speaking of Pop Will Eat Itself, would it be better to refer to their work in 1990 rather than Eminem's as being a seminal influence on 'bastard pop'? They do seem to be doing what this article calls mashups, and such work was released in or around 1989 (album: This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This!). Somehow I can't help but think that there were widely known, influential examples of 'bastard pop' by 1990, if not before them, but this much I'm sure of: the PWEI work came far earlier and seems to fit the description given in the article (pop song constructed from portions of other pop songs). Their 1990 album Cure for Sanity features a track called "Dance of the Mad Bastards".... Opinions?

I thought Steinski collaborated with Double Dee on those "Lesson" EP's.

Besides finding the 'bastard pop' entry both educational end enjoyable, I couldn't help but feeling that the central european angle is missing.
I am mainly speaking of German/Dutch DJ, producer, remixer, etc. Ben Liebrand, and remix services such as DMC, Ultimix, Disconet etc. For more info I suggest to follow the link to www.mixfreaks.org.
This community, active since early 1980's uses a different jargon, were mash-ups are called "Minimixes", and Glitch is reffered to as "Extreme Edits".
thanks, Modium
GNU and all, I wouldn't dream of editing without your consent...
So, I will include two issues here for you to include in any way you see fit:
- Jargon: 'Edits' (also known as 'Acetates') usually mean the way used by late 70's - early 80's DJ's to extend breaks in 7" singles. Instead of cutting between two copies of the same 7" (while one copy plays the break the other is spun back to the beginning of the break, to be faded in at the right time), the 7" would have been recorded onto a 1/4" tape recorder several times, the breaks would have been cut out of the tape and pasted one next to the other. Very few deejays played the tapes themselves. Most of them printed several vinyl copies at special stores. Thus the term 'White Label' was born - those records would have nothing on them but the shop's serial number and meybe a few notes scribbled by the editor for himself. People do edit nowadays but the technology today lets them produce a full remix. No one is content with just extending breaks. This scene by the way, gave birth to the break-dancing scene, but that's another story.
'Extreme Edits' (also known as 'Shotgun Edits') came by after the appearance of samplers and wave-based synthesizers. The first samplers were very limited in memory, enough for one phrase, so the deejays and producers used it to rep-rep-rep-rep-rep-repeat 1 or 2-beat samples. Those who couldn't afford the high priced samplers, toiled in cutting tapes into countless small pieces and putting them together into pasted tapes that bearly hold. As time went by, those sound snippets grew smaller, were played out of order, and went through all kinds of sound processing effects -- as far as the technology of that time could allow. And glitch was born.
'Minimixes' is the European name for A vs B mashups, and also up to about 10 minutes mix sets.
- Legitimacy You got one thing wrong: A lot Ben Liebrand's and other DJ's (latin rascals for example) remixes were approved by the industry. Later they were hired or commissioned by the industry to remix tracks. But at least at first, those versions were bootlegs given or sold from one DJ to another, and it took a long time for them to be cleared, if ever. The situation was this: The DJ bought the original track, and thus paid for the right to play it. The DJ used to play the track in a certain way: extended breaks, layed over another track, etc. (the industry supported that by releasing DJ versions containing instrumentals and acapellas). The DJ is tired of having to manipulate the track in every set, records the manipulation and creates an acetate for personal use. The audience or other DJ's like version and want to listen to it at home / play it during their sets. The DJ can't sell (or even give away) his version since he doesn't have the copyrights (this starts to sound like GNU-GPL and open code). He can still play it since it is a substitute to the manipulation of the original track. So, in the time before the Internet and GYBO Ben Liebrand and his Fellow DJ's had an Idea: They would extend the 'Personal use' term from one person to a group by forming a club called Disco Mix Club (DMC for short). They would make money from the club membership fees, giving the versions away (along with a nice club magazine) for free, and forbidding the members to pass them along to non-members. Other similar remix-services were formed in the same manner, like 'Hot Tracks' and 'DiscoNet' offering a steady flow of special versions for a monthly fee. Some of them accepted home-made versions from club members and incorporated those in their following issues.
I know all this by word of mouth. You must have noticed that Names, Dates and examples are almost completly missing. I guess some googling of the terms mentioned above might fill in the blanks, but I fear that writing this lengthy artice came on the expense of something else I should return to... I hope someone will find the time for it...
thanks, Modium
Where would you place MTV Mash, and shouldn't we have some comments concerning that. That Mash-Ups have been part of the mainstream, and such. (Although personally, I think most of the MTV Mashes neither are very original, nor particularly good musical compositions.)
"Cutup" has multiple meanings. Should it really be redirected to this article?

The article says of The Black Album acappellas that, "Jay-Z... presumably, sanctioned, if not actively encouraged the release of the acapellas." I think, but I am not sure, that Jay-Z not only intended the acappellas to be released, but explicitly authorised it. My copy of the Black Album acappellas CD looks a lot like an authorised release.

Why are Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambatta missing from the influences section? This is straight up racism, and this "mash-up" is just another case of "Elvis Presley." It's just more "white power" to erase the facts of history. These two giants of hip hop aren't obscure or unknown. They took records and played parts of them, in sequence, to create new songs. They did mash-ups, without computers. Grandmaster Flash invented contemporary DJing. He even built his own equipment, taking apart old stereos for parts to build new machines. Grandmaster Flash was a hardware hacker.
Afrika Bambatta did roughly the same thing, creating the roots of American techno music. He took American funk and melded it with German kraut-rock giants Kraftwerk. Fast forward 25 years into the future, and people are praising mash-ups for bridging the gulf between "black" and "white" musics. Bambatta cut a record with Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols and PiL in the mid 1980s. He bridged the gap. The racial/racist divide is created by the record industry for marketing purposes; they segregate, divide, and conquer. Rappers and DJs were mixing styles between disco, funk, latin music, and rock back in the 1970s.
Moreover, this postmoderm mixing culture is a Black invention. Everyone does it, but the contemporary form is fundamentally rooted in Black working-class invention of Hip Hop. High Art forms tended to eschew collages of popular music, or created works to maximize the juxtaposition, and is often hotile to the audience's listening pleasure. Hip Hop used popular music, melding it with underground funk, with the specific intent to make listenable, danceable music.
That is the ethos of the mash-up.
Also, the Beat or Surrealist cutup isn't related to the mash-up. Cut-ups, as practiced by Burroughs, was intended to remove the author from the production, to create accidental works of art. The mash-up aesthetic is intentional.
Party Ben's mashup of Green Day, Oasis, and Aerosmith, originally produced for his LIVE 105 (San Francisco) radio show, was one of the first major mashup radio hits in the US in late 2004 and 2005, eventually receiving airplay around the world. See San Francisco Chronicle article here: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/05/03/DDGTCCHQP41.DTL .

And, lest we forget even more:
As a newbie who looked up mashups to see what wikipedia had to say, I was surprised DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, and DJ Z-Trip (specifically) received so little attention. The Brainfreeze and Product Placement albums and tours were hugely influential to the modern mashup scene. In the movie Scratch (2001) Z-Trip even explains precisely how he mashes. 2cents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.67.109.229 (talk) 02:02, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
I would add quite a bit of info if I had the time, but I think alot info about mashups is missing without delving into the world of ninjatune. At least 3-4 times a week a new mash up is featurd on the solidsteel radio show. Hexstatic has illicit albums that are nothing but mashups, and Coldcuts mid 80's works arecomposed of other peoples works (though not mashups). next362 00:05, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Whence did this article originate? I ask because I've never heard the terminology cited therein either used before or used in this particular context; in particular, glitch pop is rather dramatically different from the usual sense I've heard in the SF area, and the overarching genre is usually referred to as mashups or bootlegs.
I suspect that this all might be UK in origin, given that the "bootleg of the year" was won by somebody in England - although there's no telling who or what actually bestowed that honor; similarly, the '"blog of record"' is UK-based (and also defunct, according to its headline article.)

" The Grey Album effectively launched a new bastard pop subgenre: the bootleg album"
9th Wonder's God's Stepson, a take on Nas' God's Son, came out before the grey album. granted it wasnt based on mashing up a particular album with an acapella, but i think it is given credit as being the first to put the idea into the hip hop genre. and i believe it was a bootlegg too.--Jaysscholar 07:40, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, *my* first exposure to "break-in" records was Dickie Goodman's "Mr. Jaws", which my Billboard Top 40 book says made it to #4 on the charts in 1975, considerably later than the cited "The Flying Saucer Parts 1 & 2"'s #3 in 1956, so it wasn't exactly a flash in the pan... but I don't really have enough other information to write about it authoritatively. B&G had 2 other top 40 "break-in" hits ("Flying Saucer The 2nd", #18 in 1957 and "Santa And The Satellite (Parts I & II)", #32 in 1957) among many others released, and Goodman solo had one other top 40 "break-in" hit before "Mr. Jaws, "Energy Crisis '74" (#33 in 1974). I seem to recall there was also an "Energy Crisis '78" (possibly not by Goodman), and Dr. Demento played break-in records by a couple of other artists (one was a Chicago DJ, the other was I think an unknown) in the late 1970s. (Looks like more or less the everything Dickie Goodman ever did is now available on CD, though; see Amazon.)
Also... only slightly off-topic... I'm looking for any information about a particular mashup done of George H.W. Bush's speeches. There are at least two of them, but there's a particular one I'm looking for to which I haven't been able to find any references anywhere. Rather than cluttering this page, I'll put a more complete description here.

just wondering why not link to every bootleg/mashup artist? unless there is some central site with links to every artist (and not some private forum post)... maybe a section about GYBO and artists who've played there would be wise too. also you should change the bootleg section to 'bootlegs mentioned in this article' to keep down 'outside links' Compn 14:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Well honestly, most of wikipedia is a link farm. Even pages that have won awards for having a NPOV still have a link to fan sites etc. When people look up mashups, they are more or less restricted to ones that are considered "groundbreaking." Then the mashup artists that aren't "groundbreaking" are left in the water. In this type of page, it should be a linkfarm, or else it isnt really complete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJKingpin (talk • contribs)

DJKingpin, thanks for the comment on the music... just a simple misunderstanding re the propriety of the article. I suppose we could add a bit about us on the page, but assumed that would be looked at as a bit too self-aggrandizing for people. We've got our bio info etc up on Jon Nelson's "Some Assembly Required" blog this week and general info on our website, so I suppose if chocolateboy or someone else wants to incorporate us into the article whenever it's updated, that would be great. Really just wanted to clarify what the protocol was for the page... thanks for the input. Brian

Hi all,
I have delisted this article because its lead is too short, its references are insufficient for its size, its inline citations are non-existent and the move from bastard pop to mashup is incomplete (i.e. the article is unstable). There also appears to be some structural issues with the article. The Subgenres and External links sections could use trimming. And it is unusual for the bulk of an article on a musical genre to be under the heading History. The featured grunge music article may be helpful in developing this article. If you disagree with this delisting you can seek a review or if you feel the article has changed significantly to address these issues you can seek to renominate it.

This article is quickly turning into a page of promotional links - the bottom of the article is probably unneeded with all those links. The notable albums section should also be cut down and more strictly watched - I'm not sure of the popularity of most of the albums there and therefore have no idea which ones to remove? Can anyone help? Jack 11:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
As long as you're going to mention in the the cut-up section, the "remixing" of political speeches, you should probably put in a section about "Porn Wars" in which Zappa basically did the same thing.
I am adding "Sgt. Petsound's" to the list of notable bootlegs. This is sure to upset some of you, which is why I am taking the time to explain why this is being done.
Whether Counts considers himself a member of this scene is irrelevant. The Wikipedia standards for notability are clear: multiple, independent references from reliable sources. If we aren't going to adhere objectively to these guidelines, then we may as well rename the subheading "bootlegs that the authors of this page believe to be notable." Lists such as these need to be NPOV. There are many bootlegs I enjoy more than the Beachles record, but I could say the same about others in the existing list. This is not about whose bootlegs I like better. I'm not proposing that anybody be dropped from the list for lack of notability, but if you ask me it could still use a little cleaning up. According to WP:MUSIC, Counts' record is clearly more notable than some of the entries here, and that is all that is needed to warrant its inclusion. Even if the entire world hates the Beachles, it has been determined to be notable, and no one can deny that it is a bootleg. TrevorPearce 15:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
The entry about Black Box isn't quite right, the Ride On Time single was already in the UK charts before the lawyers got involved. The Ride on Time single was pulled from the shelves, the vocal was replaced with a soundalike and it was re-issued as Ride On Time(Remix). Stx 16:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
This whole article smacks of promotion of advertising. I think it should be rewritten to remove the NNPOV that is obvious througout the article. I was going to attempt to remove some of the offending lines myself when it became clear there was too much embedded in the article.
It does not read like an encyclopedic article. It reads like several DJ's personal FAQ on what they do for a living, and where to check out their "stuff". Deusfaux 02:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

This page does need a major rewrite. I'm thinking about moving the history behind mashups to its own article and making the main page about defining mashups, explaining the different subgenres, and talking about copyright issues -- a topic central to the genre that isn't mentioned anywhere. Any thoughts? --flatluigi(talk/contrib) 03:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
This article would also be greatly improved with more information supported by citations. Hyacinth (talk) 04:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
This article seems to use "a cappella" or "acappella" to mean "vocal track". This definition isn't at [a cappella] or even Urban Dictionary, and to some of us old people, "a cappella" is still an adjective ofor adverb meaning unaccompanied by instruments, especially if sung by a group, especially Renaissance sacred music like Palestrina. If people want to include it because it's the jargon of the mashup business, I think it needs to be defined rather than being used in the lead. And I suggest an encyclopedia article should stick to widely recognized terms such as "vocal track", "vocal part", and even "singing" until this sense of "a cappella" becomes standard (if it ever does).
If "a cappella" is used, I think the article should be consistent about whether it's one word or two. Likewise the article now uses both "mash up" and "mashup" for the noun. I suggest making it consistent, and I strongly prefer "mashup" (or hyphenated). —JerryFriedman (Talk) 21:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

It seems strange that DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist's collaborations are unlisted here.
Brainfreeze was groundbreaking back in 1999 both for the techniques used and for the crate-digging prowess both DJs showed in their then-obscure selections.
Then, in 2001 they returned to their Brainfreeze project with Product Placement
In 2003, DJ Shadow put out Diminishing Returns, then again in 2005 he came with Funky Skunk.
Finally, in 2007/2008 DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist reunited for their Hard Sell tour.
The point, is that DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist have both been quite influential in this scene and deserve citing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.161.231.108 (talk) 14:58, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm kinda shocked that there is no mention of the hip hop mixtape Dj's from the early to mid 90s in New York - Doo Wop and Ron G specifically. Before the term "mash up" even existed these two hip hop dj's were putting acapellas from contemporary R&B records over Hip Hop instrumentals to give the song more street appeal except they were called blends.
If you read all the entries listed under "Mashup (music)" and read the years these separate incidents took place you will see a big gap in the years from 1987 to 1995.

I won't bother to re-add them (again for the 3rd time) but question - why is relatively unknown mashup albums on there, whereas albums such as London Booted (London Calling by The Clash mashed for the 25th anniversary), Parkspliced (Blur's Low Life, 10th anniversary) and GYBO's Created A Monster - some of the first mashup albums that came out after or at the same time as the Grey Album are ignored?
London Booted eventually made a (quietly sanctioned) vinyl release on Prankmonkey which makes it notable amongst most mashup albums that don't get release - even a CD in Japan with all the tracks. Before than was GYBO's I Created a Monster, which was more of a mashup compilation so might not count - but the Blur - Parkspliced was shortly after that in 2004.
Can I recommend they are added as some of the first - also the influence of GYBO, which GYBO's switching hosts and deleting boards probably affects the Google ranking for these, although you should see Boing Boing and various picking it up, as well as the Discogs entries - and indeed my blog posts on the projects, but to declare my interest I wasn't running either of these, I had one track on either as 'Instamatic', nothing on the first, but surprised as they got a lot of press and a rare physical release that they don't qualify as notable? Why is that? - Tim, Radio Clash. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.8.218 (talk) 19:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
It might be worthwhile to include the difference between a mash-up and a medley, due to or in addition to the fact that the terms are often confused in popular culture. (For example, Mash-Up (Glee), in both title and content, uses "mash-up" when referring to medleys.) Calbaer (talk) 06:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Mashups involve the manipulation of recordings to combine elements from two or more songs.
Medleys are multiple melodies played in succession. --Nerd42 (talk) 04:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Any serious contributors to this article take note: it is overlong, full of all sorts of self-promotion, non-notable artists/albums, irrelevant information (cut-ups) and so on. I propose giving it a good kick in the nuts/ovaries (let's be PC here) and trying to make it encyclopaedic. Cue oohs and aaahs with fairy lights and tinkly tinkly music. Anyone willing to help out, chime in, or otherwise give their informed opinion on say the US mashup scene and its notable proponents, please make yourselves known.
Or, as a duly appointed scurvy-infested pirate Cap'n, I will hack'n'slash my way through it alone ;-) A warning shot across ye bows. CaptainScreebo Parley! 18:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

In the current DJ world, a "mashup" mixes two songs together to create something new, while a "bootleg" is still substantially like the original track - usually a pop song, and is usually used to provoke a cheer from the crowd who recognizes the original song (for example, a Michael Jackson song chorus inserted between two house music tracks.)
The term "bootleg" is used to indicate used without any rights clearance, so you will never see that "bootleg" on any "live CD" that is for sale, and thus will only be used in a performance, where different performance rights are in effect. 162.205.217.211 (talk) 03:01, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Every track on this LP, as far as I can tell, is a mashup of a contemporary rock hit with a Christmas standard. I am not sure if there is a source out there that talks about this, but I wanted to bring it to the attention of those who care because it predates the Nilsson song listed in the article as the first mashup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8001:8100:F7E:A9EC:69DF:1037:649A (talk) 20:19, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
