Iyaz vs The Veronicas – Untouched Replay

Hi all. Here’s my entry into the www.Mashstix.com Mashup Challenge. It’s also my first ever video mash. Been wanting to give the ol’ video mash a go for a while, so saw this competition and thought here’s the ideal opportunity! ;o) So, here it is. Thought I’d give Iyaz a more upbeat feel and The Veronicas – Untouched seemed to be the perfect tempo / match I was looking for. After a little cutting of the Iyaz pella, I also decided to use the mental version at the beginning – it seemed to lead into The Veronicas mental nicely. After that, it was just trying to match the Iyaz vocals to the mental. Once I’d finished the mash, there started the hardest part – my first video mash. Decided to give Sony Vegas a try and, despite my PC not really being up the mark (yes, I have a new video card on order!!), I finally managed to track the video to the vocals and map in the Veronicas non-singing parts to try and match into the storyline. Never thought I’d read myself typing that!! – don’t I sound all ‘lovey’, darling! Anyway, after over a weeks work, and no actual paid work being done, this is the result and I gotta say I’m rather proud of it. I’m sure it isn’t the best video mash you’ve watched, but, for the first attempt, it’s not bad – surely!! As always, any comments or feedback welcome. Oh, and if you like it, pleeeaaaseeeee don’t forget to vote for it at…

Linkin Park vs Justin Timberlake – Stoned Divide.

Been itching to do a Linkin Park mash for some time now, so finally got round to mashing the pella to New Divide. Love Stoned by Justin Timberlake seems to be a fine partner. Had to work on the mental a bit to get it to match the pella, and also mashed in a couple of remix versions (the instrumental parts) to lift the original mental a little. Hope you enjoy – as always, comments and feedback welcome! If you like this mash, vote for it at http://www.mashstix.com/DjFlashard.php. Many thanks. ;o)

Guns ‘n’ Roses vs Mika – Shackler’s Love.

Sorry it’s taken a little longer than I’d hoped to post. Wanted to post before New Year, but been too busy travelling and at work! ;oS Anyway, my latest mashup offering mixes GNR and Mika. The GNR vocals needed a fair bit of cutting up and altering to match the mental, but I hope you agree it works well. I love the way Axel’s gone all ‘pop’ in this version. Comments and feedback welcome!

Now Availabile on Fairtilizer…

Hi all, just thought I’d let you know that my mashups are now available on Fairtilizer.com – linked below. I’ve created a new artist account and loaded the best / most recent mashes so you can access / download at your pleasure. Unfortunately, on SoundCloud, with a free account, they only allow the first 100 downloads before that option disables itself. So, as Fairtilizer has no limits, thought I’d create an account for better access. Link below :

Also, if you like or download any of my mashups, I’d appreciate it if you would visit www.mashstix.com and vote for my mashups. Five star feedback is always appreciated!! ;o)

Finally, have a great Christmas and New Year. Just finishing the final touches to a new mash featuring Guns ‘n’ Roses. Will try to post between Christmas and New Year. Great a great one! Thanks for all your support, comments and feedback. Flashard.

Coldplay vs Living Colour – High Speed Personality.

I’ve gone all mellow on this one. I love Living Colour’s ‘Cult of Personality’ and couldn’t help but notice that it fits very nicely over Coldplay’s ‘High Speed’. Had to cut and change the vocals a little to match the mental key, and slow them down a little, but I think it fits prettty well. I’ve also gone in a new direction with the artwork on this one – bit more classy than previous ones! ;o) Anyway, hope you enjoy – comments and feedback welcome, as always. Cheers.

QOTSA vs Maroon 5 – This Love Knows No One.

This mash seemed to come together quite easily. The QOTSA vocals fit rather naturally over the Maroon 5 mental. Had to chop them up a little to match the keys and added reverb, but otherwise not too much work on the vocals. The mental original MP3 file seemed a little slow and awkward, so upped the tempo a little to improve the flow and the vocals sound more natural. Finished with a little mastering, and Hey Presto! Also noticed, whilst I was in the middle of this mash, that LEEDM101 has already done a Maroon 5 vs QOTSA mash back in 2007, but he used the QOTSA mental and Maroon 5 pella (kinda opposite to this!). Hope you like the different take on it!

Bloc Party vs Ace Of Base – She Wants A State Of Flux.

Sorry there’s been no updates for a few weeks (blimey, it’s been nearly a month! – must do better!), but been away on holiday and work is a little busy at the mo, so don’t get much chance to skive off! ;o) Anyway, finally got round to finishing and publishing my new mash. Hope you like it. It features Bloc Party – Flux (pella) and Ace of Base – All That She Wants (mental and DIY pella). Didn’t need to alter the Ace of Base mental too much – just a few cuts here and there. It was the Bloc Party pella that needed more work – on the chorus, the vocals have rather heavy reverb and makes it sound very metallic. Tried to cut some of the echo so that the vocals fit the mental better. Also, used some cuts from DJ Schmolli’s DIY pella of Ace of Base to try and tie the two tracks together a little better. Hope you like the results – comments and feedback welcome, as always!

Gorillaz vs Ciara Ft Justin Timberlake

Been working on this mash for just over a week now. Stumbled across the Ciara pella quite recently and was looking for a suitable mental to match it up with – think Gorillaz does the job pretty well. Although this sounds like a straight forward A + B mash, I had to cut up the Gorillaz mental a fair bit to fit the Ciara and Timberlake vocals – think I managed to get the key matching pretty close. Sounds to me as though these were made for each other – hope you agree and enjoy!

EDIT : Reached No. 7 in the Mashstix.com weekly mashup chart – October 2009.

Depeche Mode vs Empire Of The Sun

Mixed over a three week period, hope you enjoy my new mash. It mixes Depeche Mode – Enjoy The Silence (Ewan Pearson Extended Instrumental) and Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream (Acapella). I think they’re a very good match – Empires vocals have the same dark feel as Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan, and I like the way the Depeche mental adds a different fresh vibe to the already cool Walking On A Dream single. Had to clean up the Depeche mental as the mp3 I had sounded like it’d been ripped from vinyl – lots of crackles and scratches. Once cleaned, I laid the Empire vocals over the top and cut them around to match the chorus and verse of Depeche. Added some reverb and echo here and there, then mastered before releasing. Hope you enjoy the results – comments and feedback welcome.

EDIT : Reached No. 5 in the Mashstix.com weekly mashup chart – September 2009.

Metro Station vs. Marvin Gaye (Part II)…

Been away for a few days, but had the idea of this mash from the Metro Station / Marvin Gaye mash I did a last month. Marvin’s vocals seem to fit so naturally over Metro Station that I couldn’t resist giving them another go. I got the mental several months ago, so just had to decide which Gaye track matched it best and Lets Get It On was perfect. Having decided where the chorus and vocals fit best over the mental, the only real job was to make sure Marvin is on tempo and in key (hopefully I’ve achieved this!). Having mastered the final track, I’m happy with the results. Hope you like too.
