Absolute classics, completely new.
Nothing creates surprises like a good mashup. Two or more well-known songs become a completely new experience.
NEUES MASHUP – HÖR‘ GLEICH REIN!
Prior to producing my own Originals & Remixes , I started producing mashups. Today, there are more than 50 mashups made by Craaze – in every conceivable combination. Kings of Leon and classical music? Exists. Girly piano pop and gangsta rap? That exists too. Punk rock and Ellie Goulding? Likewise. Have you become curious? Ideal – because down below, you will find 9 of my most famous mashups to listen to!
Sex on fire (Kings of Leon x Ludovico Einaudi)
If you already know any of my mashups, chances are it's this one. Over 160.000 plays and a Deep House Remix with 5+ million plays make Sex on Fire my best-received mashup so far.
This is probably due to the mashup's vibe. Sex on Fire transforms the cheerful, danceable original into a melancholy mourning song that stirs up emotions on first listen. Definitely not a song for the club – but a memorable experience nonetheless. Worth listening to!
Move a thousand miles, bitch (Vanessa Carlton x Ludacris & Mystikal)
What do you get when combining one of the most girly pop songs and one of the most gangsta rap songs? You get Move a Thousand Miles, Bitch. Don't let the piano intro deceive you – once the beat drops, it's a different world.
There are mashups that impress and there are mashups that fall into the "light entertainment" category. This mashup certainly belongs to the second category. But it's definitely worth a listen!
Burn Audience (Rise Against x Ellie Goulding)
Punk rock is not everyone's cup of tea. I like it and count artists like Rise Against and Bad Religion among my favorite bands. Nevertheless – or because of this? – I've turned Audience of One by Rise Against into a pop song a few years ago.
My opinion: This thing bangs! The strong instrumental of Ellie Goulding's Burn goes extremely well with the rough vocals of Rise Against. The result: a mashup with lots of pop, lots of punk and lots of energy!
Set fire to the lollipop (Lil Wayne x Adele)
Set Fire to the Rain by Adele is a classic – but not at all club-friendly. This mashup changes that by putting Adele's vocals to the beat of Lil Wayne's classic Lollipop The result: a chill but danceable ex-ballad.
Summertime Fly (Lana del Rey x Ludovico Einaudi)
The combination of pop vocals and classical instrumentals is fascinating – the resulting mash-ups often have a completely different energy level than the original. This is also the case here: Summertime Fly is like Summertime Sadness , but with more sadness.
Snow Lights (Red Hot chili Peppers x Ellie Goulding)
Snow is one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' best-known songs. Lights has one of the most laid-back instrumentals among Ellie Goulding's songs. So it makes sense to combine the two. The result is an electronic reinterpretation of a classic.
I Follow Summerbreeze (Stone|Van Linden x Lykke Li)
This is the mashup I play most often in clubs. Why? Quite simple: With I Follow Rivers everyone sings along, but it's not energetic enough for a prime-time banger. This mashup changes things – It's a summery EDM hit with a good vibe!
No Beef H8rs (Calvin Harris x 6 weitere künstler)
Mashups don't always consist of two songs that are combined with each other. Sometimes there are six – like this one. If you're looking for a throwback to the Party Hits 2013 in one song, you've come to the right place with No Beer H8rs , that's for sure!
One Love Phunkshock (Blue x Matroda)
Need a bit of nostalgia? Who remembers One Love by Blue? Who always found this song too boring? If you feel addressed, listen to this mashup. Why? Just this much: Matroda makes dubstep. Very hard dubstep.
