You Must've Been a Beautiful Baby (Bing Crosby) + The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson) = https://rave.dj/pMtbBq6XQA3Dzg I'm waiting for it to finish "What a Wonderful World" x "Black Hole Sun"

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 label…
At least in Rekordbox (Pioneer), Mixed in Key is the only way to display both the actual key and the Camelot notation. This is useful for knowing which songs can be easily brought in sync using key/pitch adjustments in software. For example, 9A and 3A are not necessarily easy to mix together, but if you know that 9A is Em and 3A is B♭m, it's only a single half-step adjustment in Rekordbox to make the latter 10A, which is usually easy to mix into 9A.
Mixed in Key and the other tools that they provide can also do more than just identifying the key of a song. I wouldn't say it's essential for a beginner, but it justifies its price for someone who uses it professionally or even semi-professionally.
This is just cringy.

This applies to track mixing as a DJ, not sure how mash-up mixes change things.

Actually you hit on one of the lesser-known rules of Camelot system, that +/-7 (aka perfect 5th[edit, this is not right see below]) is mixable, though at a higher danger of clashing. Same with +/-3, at even higher risk. When I read about this the lesson was to do your transitions quickly. This applies to track mixing as a DJ, not sure how mash-up mixes change things.
Er, what? A perfect fifth is +/-1. That's why it's called the Circle of Fifths. +/-7 is a minor second.
9A and 2A only contain two notes in common - the other five will all clash. It's not really mixable in most cases without using special tricks.
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

+/-7 is still mixable, as is +/- 3 (not 2). Just gotta be quick.

Many WaxAudio mashups are top-tier, such as: Bee Gees + ACDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrlWWrSwaB8 Stevie Wonder + Metallica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyvxHL5hLfE

If you want more (man-made) mashups, I've been maintaining a list of personal favorites here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dr3iKHVFYGeddLuPfhrm...
Do you have a shared youtube playlist?, google docs is a great way to harvest creds and other nefarious things.
