Interesting mashup - https://rave.dj/ac-w-nK_8vCiFQ I tested - Run DMC - It's like that vs Funky Town.
Run DMC vs. Toni Basil - 'Hey Trickey' did not turn out as good as I'd hoped:

#62The two best results I got (both were 'easy' for the AI, but I was still surprised):
Supa Hot Fire + Linkin Park: https://rave.dj/Kph8bLPfCCmsaw
A known bass drop + Sia - Chandelier: https://rave.dj/h9rjxodw1vjgkw

#63Turn Down for What seems to go well with a lot of songs: https://rave.dj/cBQ8koXg_09blA
Because it's one of the rare electronic songs that became popular whose speed is ~100 BPM (BPM = beats per minute in this case). That makes it compatible with a lot of pop and hip hop songs. Add to that the fact that it contains almost no lyrics (while pop songs contain almost no low frequencies) and you have a match.

#64At great risk of sounding haughty, as someone who's perhaps a bit more into the DJing scene than what's probably the average HN user, all of these sound horrible. Beat matching is the easiest part of DJing, and that's about all that this tool does, so I don't think it's solving any DJing problems specifically. One thing that it does do is take away the turntable GUI (or hardware) and replace it with a two-field uploa…
It would be pretty trivial to add key-matching to this thing but like you say that wouldn't come close to everything a good dj or live band is doing during a performance with an audience.

#65Ok. I think I nailed the perfect one: https://rave.dj/ySGzN-0svLlPpA
I guess the audio mix is good... The video was using 90% of my processing power, what in the world was going on there?
Re: Rave.dj – an artificially intelligent mash-up machine
#66Just one side note, that moving background is giving me motion sickness :) But I am gonna probably spend a lot of time, making mixes...
Yes, this background video makes for a terrible experience. I know it looks cool and startupy (at least it did in 2015) but this trend has to stop.
Ended up hiding it with an ad blocker rule.

please take a look at mixes of many songs instead of mashups, that's a lot more relevant to what you are looking for in this product:

They try to only play relevant portions of songs, includes many other DJ rules that Mashups of 2 songs do not.
I'd argue that mixes in their current form could replace a DJ at a small bar patio.

#68Check out mixes of many songs, they include many more advanced techniques than seen in mashups: https://www.rave.dj/iOfKQXFw3TxTWA
Re: Rave.dj – an artificially intelligent mash-up machine
#69Does the "Mix many songs into a DJ set" option even work? It seems to create a mashup instead.

#70And a surprisingly successful merger of Cutty Ranks and Abba with the awesome title of "Limb Queen"

I giggled all the way through it. A bit of better volume balancing where the two songs overlap and I'd play that at a party with no regrets...
