MIXTAPE MONDAYS by MOARRR 059 - exclusive mix by DJ Schmolli -
This week's exclusive MOARRR mix was made by the uncrowned European kind of mashups, DJ Schmolli! Since is one of our longtime, friend and brother in crime, it was obvious to ask an exclusive mix from him. We heard him DJing number of times, and all we can say is, Schmolli always delivers and always RAWKS the floor. Of course we asked few questions as well, about mashups, mashups and well, mashups...
MOARRR: You are one of the prolific mashup producers, how many mashups have you made, and do you remember them all?
DJ SCHMOLLI: I have released about 350 mashups since 2000 and of course I remember them all. Since I am a well organized person I have instant access to all of them, and you can have to. Last year I made some special “discography” zip-files where you can download everything I ever released with a few clicks directly from my website.
MOARRR:You are also a musician and DJ, not just a bedroom copypaste sound editor. Have you learned something from making mashups what you can use in the 'real musical world'?
DJ SCHMOLLI:I think it is rather the other way round. My knowledge of musical theory helps me a lot to build my mashups. Back in the day I used to play a couple of mashups live with my band though which was always fun.
MOARRR: SoundCloud recently deleted your account, due to copyright reasons, sadly it's still in the mashup game. Have you ever thought about how to legalize mashups, how to create a legal ecosystem for this scene, and what would be your suggestions for this?
DJ SCHMOLLI: Well the issues with Soundcloud have been really nerve-wracking. And amongst mine they’ve shut down many accounts of mashup artists in the last few months which is a shame as SC is still the biggest platform to spread your mixes. But to be honest I haven’t thought about legalizing my mashups. There are already good sites like legitmix.com where you can release remixes & mashups and all the copyright owners get paid. But I simply don’t want my fans to be charged quite an amount of money since this concept obviously pays all the artists included which can be quite a number in certain mashups. For now I’d rather stick with being a pirate. Arrr!
MOARRR: Tell us about the concept of this mix!
DJ SCHMOLLI: This mix is really different to what I’ve released so far but for MOARRR I thought I should do something different to show my broad taste in music. It’s a mix of tasty originals and remixes with a kind of disco feel and lots of deep basses. Although there’s only one mashup in this mix you will find a lot of sampled vocals and melodies that you’ve heard from somewhere else in the past, I bet!
MOARRR: Where can people see you?
DJ SCHMOLLI: This Friday (March 13th) I am playing at the “Otherside” in Bucharest (RO). You can see all my future shows on my website
