3 Mash-up artists you should know about:

Perhaps you've heard of mash-ups. They're songs that are mixed together using samples from other songs. Doing this an artist can create a whole new sound. You may have Heard of Girltalk or some other DJs doing this, but let's take a look at a few you may be less in tune to.

As do I.

Party Ben:

Not really known for long mixes, this mash-up artist will bring a smile to your face with his odd mixes. He strives by finding songs that simply wouldn't normally go together and forces them to have little mutated mash-up babies. 



E-603

This is one of my favorites. Based out of his basement, E-603 does some of the best mixes I've ever heard, and is the artist that first got me into mash-ups. He has two albums released "Something for Everyone" and "Torn Up" and both are free for download on his site. http://www.e-603.com/E-603/HOME.html
Also feel free to make a donation, he gives gifts back depending on how much you give.




5 & a Dime

This one I've just recently discovered but wow is it good. This artist has a really high energy that he puts into all of his mixes that just makes you feel like you should be dancing. As well as that, he likes to do mixes with rap and dubstep, which quickly made me realize how well the two genres do together. As with E-603, both his albums are free for download on his site. http://www.fiveandadime.com/fiveandadime/Home.html



Enjoy guys! Let me know of any other great mash-up artists there are!
