ABSTRACT
In order to advance mashup creation it is essential to check out many ideas from the big artists. In the modern dance world, DJs have understandably responded to the growing pressure to use mashups in their sets by trying to make things complicated for the sake of it. Mashups are a great way of taking your live sets to the next level. But, always remember that the recordings you are using belong to the original artists and their record labels. Try to learn the difference between making a mashup for the benefit of the crowd and making a mashup just for the sake of it. Learn the difference between what's tasteful and what's overdone. Listen to DJs from other genres. Each genre has different norms for tempi, rhythm styles or song arrangements, and DJs will possess different techniques to handle them.
