YUME Music presents THE MASH UP/REMIX PROJECT

Look out for releases coming in 2009 from our newley signed on YUME Music artist, CHARLIE BROWNE as we relase his versions of your favorite and his favorite bands leading up until the YUME:TIMELESS Project. We are looking forward to the craziness we are sure he is going to lay down.

Here's a definition of Mashups, we feel like C.J BROWNE deffinitley has the potential to do some great stuff while masing and remixing songs.

A mashup , bootleg or blend[1] (also mash up and mash-up) is a song or composition created from the combination of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. A mash-up is a song created out of pieces of two or more songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the music track of another.[2]

In full swing at the end of the 20th century, mashups have been described positively as "ultimate post-modern pop song[s]" or "'culture jamming in its purest form'"[3] They have also been described negatively as "the logical extension of the sampling fever of the '80s taken to its dumbest extreme". Due to the questionable legal status of mash ups and little chance of profits "there's a real punk rock attitude attached to the movement".[3]

Cultural critic and legal commentator Siva Vaidhyanathan has commented that "The most interesting and entertaining phenomenon of the MP3 libraries on peer-to-peer systems is the availability of "mashes" - new compositions created by combining the rhythm tracks of one song and the vocal tracks of another." Noting that mashups have a rich history he observes that "It is merely the latest incarnation of a widely shared, deeply embedded cultural habit of cultural recombination across time and space."[
