Dubstep
Welcome to my native genre. I heard EDM for the first time in the garage of one Elizabeth DeTienne in 2012, fell in love with it immediately, and have been listening to it (and occasionally mashing it) ever since.
(I'm aware that the music I like should in fact be called electronica, with EDM and dubstep being large and small subgenres respectively. Unfortunately, I've gotten too many derogatory comments throughout my life about "that dubstep you like" not to think of dubstep as 'any music with a skilled producer'.)
Harder, Better, Levitator (2023)
I first attempted this mashup in Audacity shortly after Levitating was released, but couldn't get it to sound good. However, with the help of Spleeter and FL Studio, I revisited it two years later and made it sound much better.
Carry On vs. Pinball (2023)
F.O.O.L. is kinda hit-or-miss, but Carry On was one of my favourite songs of 2019. I mashed it up against a song by electrohouse legend Astronaut, and used a remix of that Astronaut song to match Carry On's melodic drops. My favourite part of this mashup is from 2:28 to 2:40, where I layered the famous Pinball chords over each other at different pitches to create chords that matched Carry On.
(Astronaut, if you're reading this, please come back. EDM is lost, and needs your sound again.)
TCBU Supercut (2021)
Since 2017, EDM has strayed from "music" to "loud noise contest". The song "This Could Be Us" is a perfect example: Virtual Riot et al. prove that they can create beautiful music with a tremendous chorus, and then waste it on the most disappointing drop since Know You Better.
When I heard that TCBU was getting a remix contest, I was delighted. However, most of the entries were more of just the same: "here's how loud a drop i can make". Into Ash won the contest, but there were several other entries that the community liked. I made a mashup of the top 10 on Soundcloud. I hope you can share in my frustration.
