Mixes / Mashups

TRACKS:

The Cure - Just Like Heaven (Tweaked acapella)

The Commodores - "Easy" (Instrumental)



DESCRIPTION:

Normally, I would put a long blurb here about the process behind creating a specific mashup. The hours spent getting for a perfect match, the hard work of making a 5.1 surround channel vocal track clean enough for mixing use, et cetera.

This time, I am letting the mashup speak for itself.

As heard at the end of many Bootie L.A. club nights, here it is.

UPDATE (February 12th, 2012 - piano cover!?!?): YouTube user "R10pez10" did a piano cover of the mashup. I'm still a bit speechless about that. Pretty cool!



UPDATE (August 2nd, 2015): As people have been rediscovering this mashup, sadly through a fan uploaded video (not made by me) put up on YouTube, I have gone and re-uploaded the mashup, now remastered! A cleaner MP3, and a FLAC (!!!) file, are now available!

Mashup first published: October 28th, 2008. Mashup re-uploaded (remastered - sound quality improved, but mashup NOT changed): August 2nd, 2015.

PRESS COVERAGE!

"Some mash-ups just work too well, and this is one of those." - Wired Magazine, November 25th, 2008 (click image below for full page from archive.org):

After my Smiths / TFF mashup got some viral heat, people started discovering my older mashups (including this one). In fact, it got a LOT of buzz online. . .again.

Mashing up the Commodores and the Cure is a shockingly good idea! http://t.co/JPbWDMTr7C pic.twitter.com/Z93kCqth93 — Dangerous Minds (@DangerMindsBlog) August 3, 2015
