“Damaged Escapade (Janety Kane)”
Janet Jackson vs. Danity Kane
I love how every time “Damaged” is played, people sing along with the “Do, do you?” part even when it’s a new mash-up or remix. So get ready to sing along to this one — Old skool sing-a-long worthy Janet + Danity Kane. I debated on simply calling this mashup “Janety Kane” because I like how it sounds, though it doesn’t describe which songs are mashed together.
The moral of this mashup: If you’re going on an escapade, don’t forget to bring a first aid kit.
“Touch My Body” Remix feat. Fatman Scoop
The original version of “Touch My Body” was too slow to really get the club jumpin’, so I set to work crafting it into the club banger I’d been hoping for. The relatively obscure instrumental of Australian pop-singer Ricki-Lee’s “Can’t Touch It” was the perfect fit. I also added in Fatman Scoop to hype up the track — he always manages to drive people into a frenzy on the dancefloor. This remix was released on a special promotional remix vinyl.

“Perfect Donuts”
Sibley vs. Princess Superstar
Sibley is one to watch. A Bay Area native, she’s now working hard in L.A. launching her music career with legendary producer Marc Kinchen. “Donuts” is a catchy, sweet pop song that’ll have you on a run to Krispy Kreme in no time.
“I eat donuts man, I eat donuts. I eat donuts man, I eat donuts. Your car, your cash, your ice, don’t want it. Donuts man, I eat donuts.” Word!
Check out the house mashup I made with Mason/Princess Superstar’s “Perfect [Exceeder].”

“Who The Hell’s a Momma’s Boy?”
Chromeo vs. Illicit
A friend challenged me to turn Chromeo’s brief “Mommas Boy” acapella into a house stomper. I laid it over Illicit’s remix of Madison Avenue’s “Who the Hell Are You,” did some effects with the vocals — and here’s what came out. Now start stompin’!
“Ponyizer”
Britney Spears vs. Ginuwine
It seems like everyone else who is mixing this song is keeping the tempo high, so I decided to cut it in half and pair it with Ginuwine’s classic track. 90s R&B was so smoooooth.
“Just Dance Into The Groove”
Madonna vs. Lady GaGa
I got the idea to mashup these two songs while playing the back to back in one of my DJ sets. I like how Madonna says “And you can dance for inspiration” and Lady GaGa answers back “Just dance!”
You’ve got to dance. Just dance.
“Thriller Lockdown”
Michael Jackson vs. Kanye West
I realize I missed Halloween by a few weeks with this one, but the songs work so well together I couldn’t resist.
