Station House Radio: Mandatory MashUp!

“Hey, doesn’t that sound an awful like…” is more or less the line that gave birth to the “mash up”; a style of music in which various components of two, or more, songs are merged to create a new, sometimes more complex, and – ideally – a better, richer musical experience. It’s the rise of the “remix” to a new, higher art form.

 Which is ironic, since the mash up got its start as a parody critique of the state of music in the 1990’s; as derivative rehashing of each other’s sounds and stylings. (Even sometimes within a single band.)

 A staple of each musical exertion here on Station House Radio, we’re devoting an entire episode to traverse this patchwork of musical landscape with a tour de force of some of the more innovative sculptings of the soundscape. So hop on, find a seat, and hang on.
