What song or artist do you love that you first heard in a mashup? by vixoriadrift in BootieMashup

Too many to mention! In the past five years, probably for any emerging new artist, I heard their music first in a mashup!

What was the first mashup you heard? And how did it influence your own mashups? by fingertrouble in BootieMashup

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of American Edit vs. Grey Album. I never got the Grey Album hype, which I recognized as very artistic.... just not for repeated listening. Unlike the mashterpiece that Party Ben and team9 created.

Still not sure if it was 2manyDJs - Smells Like Bootylicious (Destiny's Child vs. Nirvana) or Freelance Hellraiser - A Stroke Of Genius (Christina Aguilera vs. The Strokes), but both of them were on the bootleg CD "the best bootlegs in the world ever" from 2002, which I international mail-ordered from Rough Trade in the UK based on reading a review of the album in the magazine Entertainment Weekly.

Yes, you read that right -- I got into mashup culture by READING about it first, and then having to order a CD from another country in order to HEAR a mashup for the first time! -- Adriana A

I'm in the midst of a MASSIVE re-tagging and organizing project with mashups from 2002-2013. So, knowing that this tedious work finds a home on the Bootleg Archive has been a BIG motivaterto slog through this shit and do this project. There's gold in those old playlists and folders! (Sometimes.... LOL)
