Monday Choon: The Weeknd Vs Alesso & One Republic - Save Your Tears Vs If I Lose Myself (Djs From Mars Bootleg)

Mash-up's are great but what many don't realise the technical aspect behind them, listening to beats, waiting for drops, allowing for the perfect transitions of fusions takes skill and not many have this. It's quite different from remixes as the point of the remix is to alter the original sound of the song while mash-ups are taking two completely different tracks, merging them together and allowing for both of the tracks to play in harmony, not making it sound off or weird. DJ's from Mars have been doing Bootleg mash-ups for a while now and recently dropped todays featured track which includes the hit track "If I Lose Myself" Alesso and One Republic along with the Weeknd's "Save Your Tears". I heard it on Tiesto's Clublife podcast the other week and loved it so much that I just had to feature it on the blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 

Monday Choon: Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (Maurice West Bootleg)

When it comes to classic EDM tracks like Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You", you don't want people to interfere with the track because it's such a good track and it should be left as that and if someone does decides to do a rework or bootleg, it better be damn good or they can prepare themselves for an onslaught from many. So you get brave individuals who attempt to make a cult classic even better, many don't succeed but Maurice West, a young Dutch DJ took a chance and he did good, very good. He added an uptempo beat, but keeping the key elements of the track that made it so great, unaltered lyrics with some techno sounds, brought the track up to date and I quite like it a lot.
