Popular Music
I got into mashups to mash EDM together and I don't have much of a drive to expand into other genres. However, I *do* have a drive to impress other people, and it's easier to do that using music that lots of people know. As such, I've made a couple mashups using well-known music, just so I can show them to people and say "this is what I can do".
Disturrbicane (2024)
I had this idea during crunch time in my EE degree (you know: the last two years of it) and, even though I did not have the time to do so, I made it immediately. It was made easy by the fact that the official studio acapella of Disturbia is already public domain, but made difficult by the fact that the Scorpions record live and therefore do not stay at any one exact tempo.
YAK/UZA (2022)
Spleeted vocals of K/DA's "POP/STARS" over Yakuza's "Recieve Ye The Hyperactive." This one was intended to be a joke but ended up working very well. Near the end, both songs have a fakeout before they start the last chorus, but they're different styles and different lengths. I did my best to make both fakeouts line up and take the same amount of time.
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.
