There has been past discussion of RaveDJ, but it has improved significantly since then. In college, I would frequent the Mashups room on turntable.fm and use it as background music for studying, so I was pretty excited to see this. I spent more time than I'd care to admit when I found it creating new mashups and also comparing/contrasting them to some of my favorite human created mashups. Here's an example of one I a…

Don't forget Girl Talk and The Legion of Doom.

Also don't forget the greatest mashup of all time, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43vGywjbuCU

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This one is seemingly pretty strong in all three of the things mentioned. subverted familiarity = originality the skill is super impressive and while I don't know the story behind this, it could very well be quite meaningful

I am not sure I agree with: subverted familiarity = originality, but I guess in the context of your original post, I see what you're saying. Maybe subverted expectation would have been a better way to express what I meant.

true. there are artists who just kind of "do the opposite of normal," which is pretty derivative.

Technically I think this is the greatest mashup of all time, although it is mashing up preacher and famous tune rather than two separate tunes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdXek5d2ocw

Marvin Gaye vs. The Pixies comes close. :)

These were a treat thanks. I hadn't heard any of them before.

This is a cool project! What's the formula for figuring out if something will blend well (as a human)? I failed several times... The closest I got was "Dreams Nation Army" (Sweat Dreams & Seven Nation Army) https://rave.dj/bS7DTzUs_kvFMQ - Sounds okay.

Key and Tempo are (I think, I am far from expert / novice even) the 2 most important points to consider.

Most songs wont match so its required to pitch shift to align keys (which can also affect the tempo), and tempo because you want the beats to match up, otherwise it will sound like a mess.

Your "Dreams Nation Army" works well because 7 nation army is pretty much a copy of Sweet dreams and they fit well together.

VirtualDJ [0] allows to load multiple mp3's and can match key / tempo at the click of a button (manually or autodetect). They even built in the option to split stems using the spleeter tech [1]

[0] - https://www.virtualdj.com/ - if you want to use the spleeter tech, Win 10 is required. It can run in a VM though ;-)

for djing we can use the circle of fifths and the software “mixed in key” as a starting point:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_In_Key

and by adding beatmatching we get very nice mixes or transitions.

after a while you won’t need either of these as things will start working out by themselves.
