Lady Gaga vs. The Offspring “Bad Self Esteem/Self Romance”

Have you ever wanted to hear a Gaga-fronted rock band? Have you ever wanted to head bang to Bad Romance? Here’s your chance to do both. Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance mashed up with The Offspring’s Self Esteem.
I started working on this track in April after a night of karaoke with some friends. We desperately wanted to sing Bad Romance, but the karaoke DJ didn’t have it yet. Just then, Self Esteem came on and we started singing Bad Romance on top of it. It’s kind of crazy how well they fit together.

Lady Gaga “Monster” (DJ Zax Monster Love Mix)

Just in time for the weekend, I’ve given one of my favorite Gaga songs the summertime dance mix treatment. I borrowed the music for this mashup from Victor Ark’s fantastic remix of the Spanish house track I Love Fata.

Madonna Mixes from the Vault

Happy New Year! I have some exciting goodies for you in the coming weeks, but today I’m posting two of my Madonna mixes, previously unavailable on this site.
The first, “What It Feels Like for a Girl” was featured on my June 2009 Robotic Electronic DJ mix. Some of you requested it be made available individually, so here it is.

The second, “Hollywood Wondergroove” is a mashup of Madonna & Missy Elliott’s “Into the Hollywood Groove,” from their 2003 Gap campaign, over Maroon 5′s “Makes Me Wonder.” In August 2007, this mashup appeared on the Club Bootie Top 10 list.

Mary J. Blige “I Am” (DJ Zax vs. Nick* Old School Dance Mix)

It’s uncanny how well Mary J. Blige’s new single, “I Am,” matches the instrumentation of Rihanna’s “Disturbia.” That said, the Rihanna hit is a bit played out, so I layered Mary’s vocal on top of Nick*s fantastic “Disturbia (Old School Instrumental Remix).” The beat is reminiscent of “Show Me Love” by Robin S, and a throwback to the classic 90s house sound.
You can find out more about Nick* and download his remixes here.

Lily Allen “Not Fair” (Matt-N-Zax Mix)
Back in June, my friend, DJ Matt Bailer and I collaborated on this mashup of Lily Allen’s song “Not Fair” and a dub by Swiss DJ Dario D’Attis, while incorporating bits and pieces of the original track provided in stems by Lily’s record label. It took awhile for us to come to an agreement on the final version, but here it is and I think it was worth the wait and effort.

Rutgers Shockwave performs a DJ Zax mashup
Someone sent me this YouTube video of Rutgers Shockwave, an all-female acapella group performing my Madonna/Lady GaGa mashup, “Just Dance Into the Groove.” It’s kinda Glee-esque and pretty damn fun to watch.
Find out more about Rutgers Shockwave here.

Cher vs. Deadmau5 “Believe In Ghosts” (DJ ZAX 2009 Club Mix)

You know you secretly love this Cher song. She deserves credit for popularizing the over processed Auto-Tune sound in 1998, long before T-Pain, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West and others jumped on the bandwagon.
Here is “Believe” layered with Deadmau5′s similarly electrified track “Moar Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff.” The result: “Believe In Ghosts.”
** As heard on San Francisco’s Energy 92.7. **

“I Remember a UFO” Sneaky Sound System vs. Deadmau5 & Kaskade

Here’s a new mash I made tonight, pairing “UFO” by Australian dance group Sneaky Sound System, with Deadmau5 and Kaskade’s electro/trance anthem “I Remember.”
