*break for best results | mashup compilation free to download

mash-up: n. a derivative work created by the combination of two or more songs or samples thereof, generally without "original" music. Often surprising in nature due to the devious and ironic humor of the producers. Known to cause havoc among purists, especially '80s arena rock fans.

Last week I put together a compilation of some of the best mashups I've come across yet. Some are more well-known, such as the works by Earworm or A Plus D, while others are a little more obscure. It's called *break for best results and I'm quite proud of it.

The goal of *break is to showcase not only the creativity of the mashup community, but also the listenability of these tracks. They're songs that don't take energy to listen to and enjoy and that, for example, you could put on during a party and have everyone hear something they like. The CD's not mixed, but the tracks flow well and I spent a lot of time putting together the playlist and editing some files.

On top of all that, I can feel good that all of these songs can be redistributed under fair use.
