The Best Mashups of 2016
In a year filled with seemingly impossible ups and downs, 2016 has at least succeeded in one arena. It’s provided us with some fabulously bizarre mashups. From Nine Inch Nails to Nirvana to Drake to Michael Jackson, this year has seen many DJs dig deep to construct unconventional and surprising musical hybrids. Are they all successful? That’s up to you to decide. But, you can’t deny the time, effort, and energy that’s been put into these zany hybrids.
Nin Inch Jepsen
Huh, call it a guess but Carly Rae Jepsen probably isn’t the first person that comes to mind when you hear Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails’ pulsing industrial beats. Well, someone out there, aka YITT, begs to differ. The youthful performer and the king of dour electro were mashedup into a duet that’ll live in your head for days.

Every Song From Summer of 2016
Ever wanted to hear every song that was hot over this summer? Well, now you can in just one song! It’s called “Summersmash 2016 by DJ Earworm”. It blends everything from Drake to Beyoncé to Desiigner to Flo Rida to Mike Posner to Zara Lasson to Twenty One Pilots. To say it’s a catchy, upbeat tune is an understatement. It’s something that’ll help you to remember all the good times you had during the summer of 2016.

Final Teen Spirit
Have you ever thought to yourself that the one thing that Nirvana was lacking was equally cheesy and epic keyboard opening? Well, how about listening to Smells like Teen Spirit over Europe. Yes. That EUROPE.

Bad Ghostbusters
Have you ever wondered what Michael Jackson would sound like over the iconic Ghostbusters theme? Well, now you have your answer and… it’s actually much cooler than you probably would’ve thought.
We Don’t Need No Ladies Man
Bee Gees and Pink Floyd. Two great tastes that, much like everything else on this list, wouldn’t seem like it would go together particularly well, but actually does. The upbeat tempo to Saturday Night Fever and the downtrodden somber lyrics of “The Wall” make this a strangely compelling mix.
