How to make a mashup -- interview with DJ Alex Nieto
Since we've been talking about sampling, mixing and mashups lately, I decided to bring in an expert on the subject: DJ and my friend, Alex Nieto.
Alex recently made a ridiculously fun, highly danceable, Prince-meets-electro-house mashup called "When Doves Get Scared."
- hear "When Doves Get Scared"
- find out how he made it
- find out how you can make mashups
To fully appreciate the mix, make sure to listen to the two pieces he combined.
Prince - When Doves Cry
Fedde Le Grande - Scared of Me
After hearing this mashup, I am even more impressed with what a good DJ can do. I'm also disappointed that legal barriers are preventing more music like from being made and distributed.
Finally, I'm looking forward to hearing more of Alex's tracks in the future.
What do you think?
