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.

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.

Just a quick note... Mixed in Key is no longer necessary as both Pioneer and Serato's DJ apps include this functionality in the base, free versions.

Also, GP might want to look up the 'camelot system', which relabels keys in a simple numeric system which makes it a lot easier to determine which keys are compatible without memorizing the entire circle of fifths. Every DJ I have met or played with that keymatches labels their tracks in this fashion.

You can print this out and stick it on your wall for quick reference: https://mixedinkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/CamelotWhe...

This is just cringy.

Edit: you've been breaking the site guidelines a ton lately. That's not good and if you keep it up we're going to have to ban you. I don't want to ban you, so would you please review the rules and stick to them? Here's the basic idea: if you have a substantive point, make it thoughtfully; if not, please don't comment until you do.

I've spent a lot of time talking about art with art friends. At this point, we've all seem to agree on three different aspects of art: 1. Non-random uniqueness / creativity. Even is something is lame, originality alone can constitute art. (e.g. weird, uncomfortable stuff) 2. Story. The context or meaning behind a thing can take something done before and make it new again. (e.g I made a rubber band ball for my ex-love…

For the uniqueness/familiarity trade-off, see also the Wundt Curve.

Super neat site, but be aware that content disappears from there constantly. I discovered a great Jet Set Radio x Justice mashup on the site a few months ago, and it appears to be completely gone now. Make backups!

looking back on the thread posted by dang from 2018 (in this thread), some links are dead, some are still active (and some of them are amazing). I wonder if they dont get purged if they have a certain number of views /likes, or if posted by user with an account.

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

Not a purely musical mashup, but one of my all-time favorite youtube videos features a mashup song with the beatles, joan jett etc and clips of the 250 top imdb movies in 2 1/2 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0x9HtYgVqA

I do not want to know how long that took to create.
