Combine two or more songs and make a "sound collage" - called Mash-Up or Pop Bastard - may perhaps be the first musical genre born from the underground and crowded thanks to the Internet, especially since the latter half of the 90's.
This new method is becoming popular more and thanks two technological forces that are revolutionizing music-making: computers and cheap software - that enable any individual, without the slightest knowledge of music, to music from your PC to create professional quality - and free sites file sharing - allowing an immediate release for these new musicians. The problem is that the songs are used without authorization, which is the major labels pulling hair and losing money by hills.
While this experiment is very popular in pop and electronica scene, we find in Hip-hop early examples clearer. As the single Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa, who in 1982 two issues of Kraftwerk mixed with samples of their own.
The first tracks of this new genus is published as illegal bootlegs or vinyl without labels, as the authors of the original songs almost never give official permission for a remix of this type. In fact a few years ago forced a Warner Music UK radio to broadcast a famous anymore mixture containing a base Christina Aguilera with a single by The Strokes made by Freelance Hellraiser, one of the new RockStar of remixes. Already in 2004 the subject received much more media attention, being highly publicized court proceedings by the Beatles against the publication "Illegal" online compilation The Grey Album by DJ Danger Mouse, a MashUp made The White Album (The Beatles) with The Black Album rapper Jay-Z. Since then this style was more acceptable and overcrowding, and have emerged Bastard Pop producers all over the world, including Latin America. While many DJ's known mashups still running under pseudonyms to avoid conflicts. The grace of a good "Mash-Up" is that not only the case of an overlap of songs but the birth of a brand new theme ... Spice Girls to The Doors, Adele with Britney Spears, Bee Gees to Pink Floyd, Nirvana's Destiny Child ... in a couple of minutes you can find (or make) millions of "bastards"!
Pink Project (Italian band) in 1982 Pink Floyd mixed with Alan Parsons, as a result the track "Disco Project" is considered one of the early history MashUp

Excellent MashUp campaign with VH1, where international musicians and Latinos share their hits, made by one of the stars of the genre, Dj Porno
