#HOW TO MASHUP SONGS FULL#

If I had to pick one, one of my latest mixes, POPLOVE 8: 2019 Vs 2010s comes to mind, because the concept was to combine the hits from 2019 with major hits from the whole decade, and that was so challenging and fun at the same time. How can you pick your favorite child? Hahaha. Such a fun project and crowd pleaser вЂ“ I always play this mashup song in my sets! Also, X Factor UK asked me to produce a remix to mark their 10 year anniversary, including winners and stars that came out of the show! I wasnвЂ™t familiar with all of the stars that resulted over the years, mainly because I donвЂ™t live in the UK, so it was fun to discover so much cool pop music to choose from! In the mashup song scene, I have also done some cool collaborations with Kill_mR_DJ and I think we have some good chemistry and ideas when we work together!вЂќД«ut which mashup song creation is he most proud of so far? вЂњMinistry of Sound asked me to produce a house mashup song for a collection of house tracks they released under the name DECADE, and it includes hits from the 2000 up to 2009. I always admire albums that are game changers and bring something new to the table.вЂќДЇrom remixing the Scissor Sisters to creating an official mashup song for Ministry of Sound and the X Factor, collaboration has always been a large part of his work ethic.

As far as I know, it was also one of the first mainstream dance records that included recordings of a full orchestra. Those long versions let the tracks evolve and breathe in a very housey and creative way for pop music. It was an album of 6 extended tracks that were later edited as singles. вЂIntrospectiveвЂ™ by the Pet Shop Boys was also quite different for its time. His use of samples in the early 90s was impressive, but the whole project was so original and unique, it actually jump-started the whole New Age movement for the whole decade. People didnвЂ™t even know producer Michael Cretu was behind this project. Who didnвЂ™t admire that guy back then? EnigmaвЂ™s first album was a masterpiece. Amazing crystal-sounding production, and such a different sound from all of MJвЂ™s previous work. вЂњI would say Michael JacksonвЂ™s вЂBadвЂ™, EnigmaвЂ™s вЂMCXMC a.D.вЂ™ and вЂIntrospectiveвЂ™ by the Pet Shop Boys are some of my most influential albums. Something didnвЂ™t feel right, until thenвЂ¦вЂќДЄlthough one particular stand-out creator has never existed for Robin, he cites Marc Kinchen and Michael Cretu as his most influential producers and admires the likes of Dan Mei, Titus Jones, DJs From Mars and Kill_Mr_DJ from the mashup scene. As a DJ, I didnвЂ™t like just playing other peopleвЂ™s music without adding my own art to it. It gives your own personality to already known hits, so I wanted to invest in this. I thought this could be the different thing that could make my sets stand out from the competition. Two songs I already knew but mixing them both together sounded fresh, with a new personality! I immediately started working on my own ideas and played them at a local cafГ© I had started DJing at. I thought this is such an interesting thing. I heard my first mashups when searching for music on the web back around 2004. So when the time came, I thought I should get a computer and make those thoughts a reality.

I always dreamt of making new versions of the pop hits I was listening to. вЂњI was always a huge music fan, spending all of my allowance on new albums, singles, tapes and vinyl.

After studying film direction, it soon proved difficult finding work in Greece, so the logical next step was to learn music technology and start producing the musical ideas that had existed in his mind for years. Obsessed with music as a child, from an early age he was often seen running around with his Walkman on, listening to 80s pop gems such as Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson, Black, Pet Shop Boys and many more.
