When I started mashing up music, I’d never have imagined I’d one day be making music for the Olympics or performing there. Yet early in 2012, I was asked to make a series of short mixes to be played at the various Olympic venues during the London Summer Games. I also had a chance to perform live at several events there as well.

The “Victory Mix” is the first of many in a series titled “Music for Sport”.

Part 3: “All Champions Do Is Win”

• Queen – We Are the Champions

• Rare Earth – I Just Want to Celebrate

For the third year running, I had the opportunity to mash up of all of the artists that performed at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium in London. The video was played at the beginning and toward the end of the concert. For 2011′s mashup, check out “Party on the Floor”, and for 2010′s version, see “Like OMG, Baby”

There’s a video interview where I talk a little about the process of making this year’s mashup HERE

The fifteen featured artists at the concert were Coldplay, Conor Maynard, Cover Drive, Ed Sheeran, Example, Flo Rida, Jessie J, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Lawson, Pitbull, Rita Ora, Usher and The Wanted

UK Artist EJ, along with some of her influences.

“Mama”

Songs include:

2011 gave us songs of regret and anger, pride and perseverance, and lots of fire.
When someone’s taken everything from you, what do you do?

WORLD GO BOOM

I’ve made some changes in the song selection process this year.
In efforts to better reflect the year, I have a system that draws from the weekly charts from throughout 2011 that ensures that all the late-breaking hits (such as “We Found Love” & “Sexy and I Know It”) are included in the 2011 mix.

I made a video and put it up on the youtube.
Many thanks to Brian Benson who made this art and all Earworm illustration and art,
To Oiseaux who introduced some compositing magic.
To Tatiana for her production support and to my manager Rodney for helping me see this project through.

Yet another installment in what has become an annual New Year’s tradition. It’s the United State of Pop, which mashes up the Top 25 songs of the year, according to Billboard magazine.

In 2010, pop has gone into serious all-out party mode. In 2009 the music was encouraging us to pick ourselves back up after being knocked down again, and to rock out to some great dance music while you’re at it. This year’s music tells us to keep going now that we’re up and having fun. In fact, the fun seems to be in such overdrive that it borders on recklessness. Usher urges us to ‘dance like it’s the last night of your life”, and Katy Perry wants us to “run away and don’t ever look back”. Even the songs that aren’t about parties have parties in their videos, like this year’s entries from Mike Posner and Lady Antebellum.

It’s a great thing about music that you can leave your worries and lose yourself in the moment. In our current world of dance pop culture fantasy, this takes place at a club, where you can drink, meet the most amazing person you’ve ever met, and where as Ke$ha says, “the party don’t stop”.

Personally, as a DJ performing mostly at raging party-ish events, I can relate. My career path has been crazy lately, and I’m definitely not ready for the party to stop!

So with that in mind I urge you all please……

DON’T STOP THE POP

To support these artists, buy some of their music!

I made a video for this mashup and put it up over on youtube

And if you want the lyrics, I posted them in a video:

It’s great when I get to do a mash up for an artist, because it allows me to really dig deep into a single act and really see what makes them tick. Nelly Furtado has gone through many transformations throughout her career, but she’s maintained a spirit of independence and freedom throughout. That’s what I wanted to highlight in “Free at Night”, a mashup which features 13 hits from her latest album “The Best of Nelly Furtado”.

To support Nelly Furtado, check out her album here: bit.ly/bestofnellyf.

And here’s the video I made for it.
