What happens when you mix the Police and Dire Straits? Listen to this video combining the Police’s “I Can’t Stand Losing You” and Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing”. Do you think these two artists sound good together?

Check out DJ Ryson’s YouTube channel if you are looking for some really cool mash-ups.

What do you think of this mash-up? Vanilla Ice vs. Armand Van Helden, seems to give Ice Ice Baby a modern feel.

In tribute to the great audio mashup artists of today, Tunemate salutes DJ Earworm. You may recall at the beginning of the year we featured the United State of Pop 2009: Blame It on the Pop compilation which is one of DJ Earworm’s masterpieces. He literally wrote the book on how to create Audio Mashups called Audio Mashup Construction Kit: ExtremeTech. DJ Earworm is one of the pioneers creating an entire new genre of music right before our eyes. Tunesmate will continue to post this new music avenue not only because I like it but because it opens a whole new window of artists to a new generation.

Here is another Go Home Productions work of beauty. Here what you get when you mix Christina Aguilera’s “Genie in a Bottle” with Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys are Back in Town”.

What do you get when you cross the Who with Madonna? Like A Virgin was Madonna’s big hit from 1984 and Baba O’Riley is the Who’s 1971 masterpiece. How do you like them together?

What happens when you mix the music from Lady Gaga’s Pokerface with the vocals of Kurt Cobain from Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit? You get Lady Nirgaga by DJ Lobsterdust.

Here is a great mash-up by DJ Lobsterdust who combines Superstitious by Stevie Wonder and Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine by The Killers.
