A classic example is the&nbsp;mashup of Kylie Minogue\u2019s \u201cCan\u2019t Get You Out of My Head\u201d and New Order\u2019s \u201cBlue Monday.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kylie Minogue Vs New Order - Can&#039;t Get You Out Of My Head ( Blue Monday Mashup )\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TdOisvLMZ4M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First gaining popularity midway through the first decade of the 2000s, it\u2019s often done using full stereo mixes (with vocals), or, alternately, an a cappella and a stereo mix (possibly an instrumental). To hear a variety of well crafted mashups, check out mashup artists such as&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.partyben.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Party Ben<\/a>&nbsp;or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/illegal-art.net\/girltalk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Girl Talk.<\/a>  Mashups became such a hit on the dance floor that some producers (such as Richard X) went on to remake parts of the original songs in order to clear the entire mashup for commercial release. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freak_like_Me#Sugababes_version\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">&#8220;Freak Like Me,&#8221;<\/a> the 2002 UK hit by the&nbsp;Sugababes, is a combination of the lyrics from Adina Howard\u2019s \u201cFreak Like Me\u201d and the music of Gary Numan\u2019s \u201cAre Friends Electric?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sugababes - Freak Like Me (Gary Numan 2002)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zw18qDGLrjY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The point behind my little history lesson is, you don\u2019t always have to play a traditional instrument, or even record a track, in order to be wonderfully creative with music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have the privilege of working with music production students at all levels of experience, some are seasoned musicians while others are just starting piano lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, for our production project in class, I expect students to create their own tracks, one way or another. It\u2019s a snap for experienced players to record a performance, but a serious challenge for students just beginning an instrument to record something decent. As an alternative, I encourage the use of MIDI files, a cappella mixes, and sampling (for educational purposes only, of course!). These resources can provide a signal and a musical performance with which to practice your production chops, whether you play an instrument or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have never worked with samples or imported a MIDI file, taking advantage of these resources can be intimidating. One of the best ways I know to explain the whole process is to show you in a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without playing a darn thing, just using my ears and production skills, I produced a mashup in Reason 4 using an a cappella, a MIDI file of a cover tune, and a sample of the original tune \u2014 all items I found for free on the internet. This mashup features Tone-Loc\u2019s \u201cFunky Cold Medina\u201d (which itself samples \u201cJamie\u2019s Cryin\u2019\u201d by Van Halen) and Kraftwerk\u2019s \u201cThe Model.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can listen to the mix below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1304140828&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true&#038;visual=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/erikhawkmusic\" title=\"?\ufe0f ?
