There has been past discussion of RaveDJ, but it has improved significantly since then.

In college, I would frequent the Mashups room on turntable.fm and use it as background music for studying, so I was pretty excited to see this.

I spent more time than I'd care to admit when I found it creating new mashups and also comparing/contrasting them to some of my favorite human created mashups.

Here's an example of one I actually enjoyed. (Note: Ads will autoplay prior to playback) https://rave.dj/G7AS9HjKvBK6Nw

If you'd like to compare and contrast with some mashups created by humans, I'd encourage you to check out The White Panda, Super Mash Bros, 5 & A Dime, 3LAU, and Kapslap. Fair warning, a lot of this material may only be available on YouTube or SoundCloud.

Finally, I know some of the people that created RaveDJ are on HN and if they happen to see this, a technical write-up of how RaveDJ works would be of great interest to me, and others I'm sure, if you have time.

Don't forget Girl Talk and The Legion of Doom.

Also don't forget the greatest mashup of all time, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43vGywjbuCU

Marvin Gaye vs. The Pixies comes close. :)

These were a treat thanks. I hadn't heard any of them before.

Not a purely musical mashup, but one of my all-time favorite youtube videos features a mashup song with the beatles, joan jett etc and clips of the 250 top imdb movies in 2 1/2 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0x9HtYgVqA

I do not want to know how long that took to create.

Helter Skelter mashup is my preferred one over originals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VhW67Ya8jo

Many WaxAudio mashups are top-tier, such as: Bee Gees + ACDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrlWWrSwaB8 Stevie Wonder + Metallica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyvxHL5hLfE

Technically I think this is the greatest mashup of all time, although it is mashing up preacher and famous tune rather than two separate tunes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdXek5d2ocw

You also didn't bring up Neil Cicierega's discography, which surprises me.

If you want more (man-made) mashups, I've been maintaining a list of personal favorites here:

I'm still traumatised, thrilled, damaged and very excited by this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP0mVv0OsCA which you described as "I once played this for my friend and she forced me to turn it off because her heart was racing like she was having a panic attack"

Do you have a shared youtube playlist?, google docs is a great way to harvest creds and other nefarious things.

Just open the doc in incognito mode.
