Mixed & Mashed 06: Mashin' It Up

Mash-ups are an essential part of any good DJ set (and perfect for spicing up any holiday party playlist). Once in a while, a really remarkable mash-up comes along that perfectly mixes the best elements of completely disparate songs, creating a hybrid that adds new layers to both. Here are a few of my personal favorite mash-ups. Kylie's best-known hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" seems destined to play over New Order's genre-defining "Blue Monday" in this excellent official version. Mylo's "Drop The Pressure" became a top 5 hit in the UK thanks to this great blending with a Gloria Estefan oldie, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a Daft Punk mash-up that didn't work. Know of any other great ones?
