Steve Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I saw someone ask the same question on Reddit, so it got me thinking, and I think mine is this: - Fabolous - Breathe (Instrumental) + Blu Cantrell - Breathe (Acapella) I think the "breathe" samples that run through the Fabolous track fit well with the Blu Cantrell acapella. The recording is from an unfinished mix from 2006 when I only used vinyl, so it's a little out of key IMO. I reckon I could do this better if I did it with Traktor. There's some scratching at the end that's probably better than anything I could do today, lol, even though it's layered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 These are some of the ones i did for #seratosunday #traktorsunday. None of them are perfect. They are not supposed to be. made to spark creativity withfellow DJ's. Fugees - killing me softly + Willie Mitchell - Groovin Mike Jackson - off the wall + Lil Louis - video clash https://www.instagram.com/tv/B8XcH0lHR03/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet Sade - couldnt love you more + Slum Village - get dis money. this might be my favorite one. i just did this last week for #dillamonth. its only on instagram and facebook for now. one day i'll edit the video and put the recorded audio over it and put it on youtube. i literally uploaded it after i recorded it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 my bad steve. i just realized that these are not acapella + instrumental blends. i got some of them on my youtube channel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I used to mix Mystery of Chessboxin' over Shook Ones II and that always seemed to bump right.I was fucking around with Nas "Half TIme" over Damu the Fudgemonk "Straight from the Harp" a while back and that was working nice too. The only audio I can think of that I can grab right now is "The Message" over "Axel F"https://www.tablist.net/audio/jbs-jockin-80s If you click on the MP3 and go to 48:40 , especially when the 2nd verse comes in ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Burglar Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Jam, that blend was crazy. i wasnt expecting that at all. Thanks! Check out the whole mix if you get a chance (you can downloand in FLAC or Itunes from that link and all the tracks are broken out and labeled). That project turned out to be more work than I originally anticipated but I've had a lot of people tell me they've played it a lot. It was supposed to be a sneaky way to get the un-initiated to listen to a full-on DJ mix and it kind of worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I used to do a lot of this back when I used only vinyl... cant remember what my favorite mashup to do was cause it's been so long. But there's quite a few I pre-done ones I like too. Two of my favorites are Vanhalen Jump accapella + Imagine John Lennon inst ...and the other is Rick James Give it to Me Baby Inst + Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter. This youtube isn't as good as the mp3 one I have but it's close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Here's another one from the same unfinished mix: - I can't say I'm a fan of the Coolio song but it sounds alright with this beat. The first 30 seconds is the best bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwar Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just made a quick recording of this one that i stumbled on live at a gig one night years ago.Ludacris - Southern Hospitality (Remix with Ms Dynamite) x Prodigy - Poison. It's quite drawn out, but i like it. The "Hit By" in the middle isn't really the best phrase to do the scratching with, so i might see how i can improve it, maybe doing some effects stuff or something instead (plus my cuts are currently wack...) also it's using the full version and not the acapella which i like as in spots i bring the bass & instrumentation back in and then out again, but maybe it gets crowded in spots. I have another blend that I love, but it requires the Foreign Beggars - Frosted Perspeks acapella that I can't find on the net, so will have to grab the 12" next time i'm back at my Dad's house (he's currently using it for a routine obviously..) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I could do this better if I did it with Traktor. Yeah obviously the song titles fit, and the rhythm of it, but yeah a few tweaks with the key might make it sit better.
