I'm sort of surprised this thread doesn't exist on here yet.
I've come across a couple of great remixes today - so I wonder if you all have similar resources:
Jay-Z vs Air - Blue Magic (The Knocks Remix)
http://hypem.com/#/track/796802
Jay-Z - American G-Funk (The Knocks Remix)
http://hypem.com/#/track/796804

Sure...the first one made Trent cream his panties ;D
Nine Inch Nails - Only (Mindless Faith remix) (http://www.deep6.com/music/Nine%20Inch%20Nails%20-%20Only%20(Mindless%20Faith%20Mix).mp3)
Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds (Timeshift mix by Mindless Faith) (http://www.deep6.com/music/Nine%20Inch%20Nails%20-%20The%20Hand%20That%20Feeds%20-%20Mindless%20Faith%20Time%20Shift%20Mix.mp3)

Not to nitpick, oh wait it's the internet, but these examples would be best described as mash-ups not remixes.
http://rcrdlbl.com and http://fairtilizer.com are good sources for finding remixes
of late these very favs of mine
Feist - 1234(Van She remix)
Tracey Thorn - King's Cross (Hot Chip Remix)
-
Well, nitpicking aside, is there really a demonstrable difference between a remix and a mash-up? Aren't they essentially the same thing? Clearly a mash-up uses more of an original source material, but it is essentially being "remixed" into a different form to back a different song.
I understand the distinction - but isn't a mashup just a degree of specificity within the category of remix?
-
A mashup is typically the cut and pasting of two different tracks together some times with other samples. The reason there are often Rap tracks mashed up with pop/rock tracks is due the fact that rap artists often release A Capella versions of their songs making them easily mashable.
Remixes usually involve the reworking of a track by manipulating the existing elements to extended them, make dub versions, etc. Most often today remixes are done in order to create crossover hits, such as Everything But The Girl did with "Missing" when Todd Terry was brought in to do the remix for it. In the case the remixer is creating an entirely new musical track to go along with the vocals. This time of remix is currently very much in vogue, with the likes of Bloc Party releasing entire albums of remixes.

Yes, this is true - but in order to "mash up" a song with another one, you often have to manipulate the existing elements in order for it to work or for the songs to fit together. For example, in that Jay-Z tune above where it is mashed up with Air, the tempo of the original Air track is slowed. Or take "A Stroke of Genius," if you want to hit on one of the early examples of mashups, where Christina Aguilera was paired with the Strokes. The Strokes tune was recut and rearranged to fit the Aguilera vocal track. Remixes often use outside samples of some kind, whether they be drum loops, keys, vocal samples, or whatever else a remixer would like to incorporate.
I guess my point is that the distinctions are nuanced; essentially, a mashup is just a more specialized form of remix, involving an additional song brought into the picture.
-
ok i'll concede that mash-ups are a form of remixing, but to be treated as little more than simply novelties that i'm surprised that people are even still bothering to do anymore...
and speaking of cut-up artists, i found the most recent Girl Talk CD to be incredibly uninteresting to the point of being annoying, it just didn't have the same spark or cleverness of "Night Ripper"

I don't disagree on Girl Talk.
And yes, perhaps a mashup can be dismissed as novelty - but at the same time, I think it is interesting to hear how people meld songs together to form something new. I'll still defend some of the bigger mash up projects - most notably the Grey Album and while I'm not a fan, the Girl Talk records - as relevant and important artistic statements.
-
Wow so after all this clarification, anyone else want to post REMIXES? :D
Here's a MASHUP I did awhile ago with one of our tracks and The Prodigy's "Firestarter" This was done live using two CDs, not using any special studio program to change the time, etc :)
Singularstarter (http://www.deep6.com/music/mashup/Mindless%20Faith%20vs%20The%20Prodigy%20-%20Singularstarter.mp3)
And this will probably make people cringe or dig it. I kinda dig it :)

hehe "most often today"????? Wasn't that remixed from 1994 though? :P

it's the one that always comes to mind when talking about remixes done to reach a crossover audience, it's also resulted in numerous attempts to have similar success afterwords...
plus it proves how old and stale i am....
-
Mashups are almost always illegal/unauthorized, whereas most remixes are commissioned by a record label.
(There are, of course, unauthorized remixes out there as well.)

Probably the biggest crossover audience song would have to be Delerium's "Silence" featuring Sarah McLaughlin, plus the 10,000 remix versions that are out there. :)

I'm not sure illegal would be the right term since the majority of mashups are done by DJs in their live sets. Now, if they're putting an album out which features these, that's a different story.
As for remixes, yeah they're either commissioned by the artists or label. That's how you're able to get the raw tracks like just the vocals like we did for the NIN remixes ;)
-
Wasn't that remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" a huge seller? It of course started life as an unauthorized remix.... One of the most annoying things I've ever heard was an artist sound checking a cover of that remix :p
and i can't be bothered to look it up, but wasn't there significant numbers for the remixes involving the Postal Service and the Shins at some point
-
DJs are almost never creating mashups on the fly. If you hear a mashup in a DJ's live set, odds are that he/she is playing it from MP3, bootleg 12", CD-R, etc.
Like Kosmo Vinyl, I had the impression that the heyday of the mashup was years ago.

I guess I'm special than since I do my mashup mixes live and not prerecorded. :)
I've gotta agree the mashup heyday was about as long as The Darkness' musical career, and about the same time period too... Hmmmm

>>>Wasn't that remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" a huge seller?
What about the Junkie XL Elvis thing... I think that was actually a #1 hit in Britain
>>>DJs are almost never creating mashups on the fly.
This is more of a sound-collage approach, but Vicki Bennett aka 'People Like Us' does her clever mashups live: http://www.peoplelikeus.org/radio.htm (http://www.peoplelikeus.org/radio.htm)

any song by the orb remixed by anybody, including the orb.
-
I've found that I'm generally a HUGE fan of Jacques Lu Cont/Thin White Duke/Stuart Price remixes. Ditto this for Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve. BTWS's remixes of Midlake's "Roscoe" and Goldfrapp's "Happiness" are pretty fucking phenomenal and turn already great songs into phenomenal tracks.
-
I'm to this thread late, but I want to throw my hat into the mashup/remix ring and agree with Kosmo.
mashups are not remixes. its hurtful to my brain to think they may have ever passed as remixes ....to anyone, ever.
it would be like if i took a famous painting and and made everything a different color on it. wow, look how creative i am!
now, can we get back to posting some good remixes?
-
I guess my point is that the distinctions are nuanced; essentially, a mashup is just a more specialized form of remix, involving an additional song brought into the picture.
have you ever tried doing either? try both and come back and say its a "nuance".

you must make a crappy remix or one hell of a mashup.

Remixes have always seemed like a cash grab to me. I don't think I've ever heard a remix that improved on the original, and most are much worse than the original.

I don't really care if you do or don't - but I'm fairly sure you can buy one more of my remixes in stores than yours.
I'll concede that my original phrasing about a demonstrable difference between mashups and remixes was poor - but I won't concede that ultimately, the differences between the two are nuanced. Are there differences? Yes. But if you were to explain the two to a casual music fan or somebody who didn't know what either of them were, you'd hit on many of the same points in your explanations. Both are ultimately a way of representing a song in a different form than it was originally presented, with an end goal of creating something new and different that can stand alone.
Can mashups be created on the fly? I'm sure they can with the right equipment. Can remixes? Probably also true. Can both be created in a studio and be way more complicated than that? Absolutely.
How would you explain the Grey Album, Girl Talk, or that godawful Linkin Park/Jay-Z project? Mashups, or remixes? I think either distinction on its own is inadequate.
Oh, and for the record:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(music)
Mashups are known by a number of different names:
* Bootlegs (mostly in Europe)
* Boots (but not Booty which is a branch of Electro)
* Mash-ups
* Smashups (or Smash-Ups)
* Bastard pop (as in the combined songs are unofficial)
* Blends
* Cutups (or cut ups, a term originally coined by William S. Burroughs to describe some of his literary experiments that involved literally "cutting up" different texts and rearranging the pieces to create a new piece.)
* Powermixing (Usually the pace has to be sped up to allow for more song to be played and thus cannot play any single blend for the full length of the song)
In addition, more traditional terms such as "edits" or (unauthorized) "remixes" are favored by many "bootleggers" (also known as 'leggers).
-
Remixes have always seemed like a cash grab to me. I don't think I've ever heard a remix that improved on the original, and most are much worse than the original.
its true, especially if you dont like dance music, since more than 50% of remixes are dance oriented, or maybe hip-hop. if a rock band plays another rock bands song, i think they just call that a cover version (though a cover song is closer to a remix than a fucking mashup).
Rabbit in the Moon were probably my favourite remixers, although sometimes you would remix a song so well, it was almost just considered your own song, with a certain sample in it.
like this Tori Amos song....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNJqrBLhFKk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNJqrBLhFKk)
while others they did were more straight remixes, the this Sarah McLachlan song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9atfn0hLj0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9atfn0hLj0)

since when is wikipedia, "for the record"??? this article was clearly written by someone as stupid as you. and it barely even mentions "remixes" until the end, where it seems to generify them into one lump category by people like you who dont really understand.
Where are these remixes that you can by at the store...i'd love to hear them! surely they're all over the net too! link em up.
remixes and mashups have many small similarities but the differences lie in the basic form of creation and you jsut cant ignore that....however, clearly your knowledge in this field is limited, since you started a remix thread with links to a bunch of mashups!

The Grey album is a mashup album. I dont know Girl Talk but I thought he was a mashup dude too.
Look, just because somewhere down the line, people have "greyed" the line between mashup and remix doesnt give anyone the right to perpetuate that line of thinking.
Sorry, but i get upset and I am a bit classic with my mixing of music. I was even irate when the records DJs started using were complex enough that all they had to do was beat match records all night.

Well, "for the record" means just that. You can cite anything for the record. My point was that I'm not the only person that categorizes as such. There is a difference between being ignorant and you and I disagreeing. I'm not ignorant - we disagree.
I'm not posting here to have my own music judged; I was meeting your snark with my own. If you'd like, PM me and I'll send you a link.
Explain to me the "basic form of creation" that is fundamentally different between a studio created remix and studio created mashup, if you will? The fact that it is two or more songs instead of one? Beyond that, isn't the basic form of creation the manipulation of samples to create a new product?

No - it does EXACTLY that. Music isn't static - it changes, as do the ways in which we refer to and think about music.
-
So is the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me" mix, with the Gary Numan "Are Friends Electric" synths added, a remix or a mash-up? Seems like its a little of both. Because it's awesome.
-
I think my favorite-ever mashup is Evolution Control Committee's blend of Herb Alpert and Public Enemy, "Rebel Without a Pause."
Favorite remixes... hard to say, as remixes constitute a signficant portion of what I play. Several years ago, Kid Loco did an absolutely exquisite remix of Talvin Singh's "Traveller." That remix and others by Kid Loco appeared on the compilation "Jesus Life for Children Under 12 Inches":
http://www.discogs.com/Kid-Loco-Jesus-Life-For-Children-Under-12-Inches/release/2397
(It also had a domestic release, although discogs.com doesn't list it.)

you know the difference. at least i hope. in a remix one will generally create a new song using their own created material spliced with parts of the original work. mashups, you're just putting 2 already completed works together, not putting anything unique into it.
lets put it this way, putting two things together to make something else, doesnt constitute "creation" in my mind.
I will give you this, many remixers out these days are not doing anything more complex than a mashup. i.e. when Paul Oakenfold put a psy-trance beat over any rock song and calls it a remix.
seems like with all of the computer programs available to everyone these days, people would come up with something better than that. seriously.
oh and pm me a link.....

I think that's oversimplifying what people have done with mashups; I also don't feel like it gives enough credit to the people who do make very complicated pieces of art with other art.
Do you feel the same way about mixed media fine art or collage?
And I will send you a link.

we should probably start another thread for that, but no, i dont even think those are comparable to mashup. (although i suppose if we were talking to someone who knew nothing, we could again assume they were!)
why are you homogenizing the world so much?

A remix is just that, re-mixed, a totally different version/feel to the song. Covers are usually just a duplicate of the original, sometimes with a little flavor of their own, but still, not a remix. :)

solid remix. a tad on the dissonant side for me, but the momentum keeps things moving enough to not make me hate it.
i'm generally refraining from posting my favs in the thread because:
a) i'd be rattle off a bunch of psytrance remixes that no one has ever heard of, or
b) i'd post a bunch of guilty-pleasure fromage like josh wink's take on the killer's "somebody told me".

the sonick approves this remix.
edit: although, i wonder why it seems that most remixes these days are nothing but entirely new music with an accapella version of the song thrown on top?

probably another remix as described above, but you gotta love that Jaxx beat...

Ive never been big on mash ups, but here is one I made in 2003 which I really dig. Its Clocks by Coldplay mashed with pieces of a couple of breakbeat tracks, though i cant remember which ones they were. I believe one was a Plump DJs track.

MBV - Soon (Andrew Weatherall Remix) A perfect blend of MBV and Screamadelica trippiness

there's a bunch of Fever Ray eps full of remixes out and about. the fuck buttons remix of 'when I grow up' is really the only one that's any good, and in my opinion, none of them improve on the original album. which is awesome.

Easily the greatest remix ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWRyj5cHIQA
from the same dj/remixer: henry rollins ranting about lame techno music... remixed into a lame techno song. with technovikings.
