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. **

Keri Hilson – Turnin’ Me On (DJ ZAX vs. Mark Pichiotti Club Mix)
I have long wanted a dance mix of Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ Me On,” so when I received the acapella I decided to make this mashup using a Mark Pichiotti instrumental. The resulting mix reminds me of Maurice Joshua’s signature style.

Rihanna – Breakin’ Dishes (DJ ZAX vs. Spencer & Hill Electro Club Mix)
I am glad Rihanna’s label has finally decided to promote this single. It is only too bad that it was because Chris Brown beat her up. I am also happy she sings, “I’m kickin’ asses” in the acapella that was released (unlike on the censored album version). Is “ass” really that bad of a word?
I restructured Spencer & Hill’s dub of “Flat” and added Rihanna’s vocal with a healthy dose of reverb and other effects. The result is a peak hour electro club banger. I’m also including a clean radio edit, in which she doesn’t say she’s “kickin’ asses.”

“Tainted Womanizer” Britney vs. Soft Cell
Britney Spears vs. Soft Cell
I created this mash-up to play at Bootie last November and have since received numerous requests to post it on my website. Recently, I went back and re-worked the mash to include some of the Soft Cell vocals. Now, by popular demand, I give you: “Tainted Womanizer” and the never-before-heard part 2, Electro Breakbeat Remix.
Original Mash-Up:

“Circus At Nite” Mash-Up Video
VJ Dano from the UK cut a music video to my Kid CuDi vs. Britney Spears “Circus At Night” mash-up. Take a look.

Alanis Morissette’s “Humps”
Alanis Morissette vs. The Black Eyed Peas
I am a huge Alanis Morissette fan, but it is rare to have an opportunity to remix or mash her songs up because she never releases acapellas or instrumentals. When she parodied The Black Eyed Peas in 2007, I was inspired to make this mash up combining the two versions. It was released as a Bootie exclusive on their April 2007 Top 10 list.
In case you were living under a rock in 2007, here’s Alanis’ classic viral video.
“When Doves Cry” Electro Remix
Prince vs. Otto Von Schirach
Otto Von Schirach did a dirty electro cover of Prince’s “When Doves Cry” called “Sliced Doves On Codeine.” Otto’s mix is cool but his vocals on the track are a little too scary for me, so I mashed up Otto’s beat and Prince’s original version into this.
“Just Dance Into The Groove” Mash-Up Video
A clever video of my Madonna/Lady GaGa mash up that incorporates the art of Keith Haring, which I love. The video was made by Cr@zy4Mad*nna.

“Freak Like Me” Freaky B’more Mash
Adina Howard vs. DJ Class
This is another one I’ve been playing out for the last month and that was featured on one of my recent mixtapes. I’ve always loved “Freak Like Me” by Adina Howard. When I heard the beat from DJ Class’ new track “I’m The Ish,” I thought Adina’s vocals would sound nice over top, turning the song into a B’more stomper.
“Circus @ Nite”
Britney Spears vs. Kid CuDi & The Crookers
This was the first mashup I made in 2009. It was featured on my “Get Fresh” mixtape and I decided to post the single track up because I had quite a few requests for it. It is a straight forward mash of Britney’s “Circus” vocals over Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘n’ Nite” (Crookers Remix) beat.
