Great thread!!!
Remember having a “moment” to this at a Big Chill in, I would guess, about 2000/2001 (the years do tend to merge together a bit in my recollections of that era).

in terms of modern ‘mashups’ there’s the before and after 2 Many Djs. Felt like they opened the floodgates.
or was anyone doing it in the 90s? leaving aside the odd cheesy euro ‘megamix’ b-side
No point in posting it as we’ve all heard it a million times…
but I suppose Candi Staton/Jamie Principle/DJ Eren counts?

2 Many DJ’s definitely started the whole thing and, as with most trends, many jumped on the bandwagon and the quality control was lacking.
Remember Eddy Temple-Morris having a Saturday night show on XFM, in which all he seemed to play was “mash ups.” Some were bloody awful.
A nice idea pretty badly executed (apparently by Mick himself)

Slightly off topic and probably more cut and paste than mash up, but this is where it all started for me. It blew my mind when I first heard it.

There is a really nice Aquarela do Brasil medley from way back but can’t find it.

Are these edits as opposed to Italian fellas putting the breakbeat on the pop 
Alright, there’s been some scope creep.

An Italian mash up/edit is by definition going to be bending the rules

Loosely related to this thread I wrote something recently about Spanish radio when I used to visit on holiday, touching upon the cheesy megamixes which were big at the time!
And related to that here’s a beginner’s guide to doing a megamix. In Spanish but you get the gist!
