What is the future of the Mashup culture?
prologue by Simon Iddol
IMO two major changes will happen
one bad and one good
the bad is already here
even if it is only a test (a remix contest for a very famous dance artist)
the record companies are preparing themselves to sell music by tracks
(drum, bassline, acapella etc.)
the full pack of elements will cost 5 times more than the original song
and they will charge extra for high quality files
the good thing is our common dream
mashup will be LEGAL

Adrian & the Mysterious D
Eventually - and probably sooner than later - record companies are going to figure out a way to make money from mashups. Perhaps they'll start selling digital downloads of individual parts of songs. For example, you might be able to purchase just the acapella if you wanted, or a bassline or guitar part. Ideally, the cost would also include a small fee that would allow the bootlegger or remixer to legitimately and legally use that part in a mashup or remix. This might be what the future holds for the mashup scene.

Man....not really sure. That's a tough one. I can see it being just a passing fad. But also, I can also see it sticking around with all the technology available now. I think whenever an elder drops out because of the novelty wearing off, there will be 10 more to take their place(because of that technology). All I can hope is that some great producers come out of this. RS.

Didn't we answer to that in the first round ?
I predict more and more people doing some mashups, Major Companies
selling acapellas and instrumentals, more and more official issues...
until we finally find a new playground.
Am I too pessimistic ?

My guess is that it will expand and melt into popular culture.
People will increasingly listen to and watch user-generated content via
user-generated playlists. A mashup is kind of like an advanced version
of a user-generated playlist.
In the not too distant future, most people will be somehow involved in
finding, aggregating, arranging, and sharing content. This will probably
become the primary way in which content is distributed. The temptation
to alter the content before sharing it will be irresistable to many.
This switch in content distribution will fuel mashup culture in coming
years.

I don't know. Mash-ups are like Rap or House Music, no one could tell what could be the future of it in the 80's. The future belongs to each bootlegger who want to grow up. Producing some real songs for artists who like the ideas developped in the mash-ups is the best way. It's what i wish for the bootleggers who are musicians before all. And that's what i do.

Companies will start to realise that people's fun in playing with parts
of a song can be just as lucrative as their pleasure in simply playing
the song. When they recognise it as one more way to profit from their
product they will start to make more samples of songs available.

As I already said previously, mashups or not a culture in my opinion, it's just music.
I guess that there's going to be more and more official releases, as singles, b-sides or exclusive tracks on some best off CD's but like evrything else, it will and is already turning round in circles.
I mean that most of the people that spend a lot of time doing bootlegs, always end up doing their own original stuff, and the tracks they produce are then mashed by other people, it's the way everything goes, and I like that idea.
Playing around with your record collection and mashing your favourite songs is a good way to learn how to use your audio software, it's a good way to start, and if you realy enjoy doing this, you'll end up producing your own tracks, that's the next level for me and that's what we'll be doing in the near future.
We'll always enjoy doing some bootlegs for the fun of it, and of course for having those exclusive cool tracks to play when we spin at clubs, because as everybody plays the same songs nowadays, it's always good to make your own DJ weapons and propose something different from the mass of DJ's out there.

The future of mashups... hmmm... Girl Talk?

Who knows? No doubt it will continue to dip in and out of favour but it’s largely dependant on the creators being creative and using tracks that keep people interested. I think as a culture/genre it will be largely confined to the internet and the blogs that support it, although there will be the occasional breakthrough tracks. Mixing one song over the top of another song will always be around though.
