The juxtaposition of abrasive victory and pessimism easily make this one of the best mashups I’ve heard in a while, and I have 100+ plays of this recorded in iTunes in under a week to prove it. Isosine makes the list again with a combination of Kendrick Lamar’s haunting vocals and the equally chilling tune of “Radioactive”. There’s just something about rap and alternative working together in perfect harmony. Radioactive Swimming Pools – Kendrick Lamar vs. Synthpop and screaming never sounded so good, so I dare you to not start bopping around and moshing to this one. The in-your-face raps of the Beastie Boys meet the electronic vibes of M83 on 2012’s Midnight-Galactic, and the result is out of this world. The Beastie BoysĬan a song be considered sci-fi? Yup. With its bouncy beat and sensual lyrics, the song just makes you want to twerk – or something. He and self-proclaimed Hollywood sadcore princess Lana Del Ray work surprisingly well together, both with their skewed and somewhat terrifying views of relationships. Just when we thought we couldn’t love/hate you even more. Million Dollar Gold Digger – Lana Del Rey vs. Hands down, this is my go-to song when people ask what the strangest thing in my music library is (because I know they wouldn’t be able to handle the really obscure stuff, and this song is guaranteed to make their jaws drop). YouTube artist Isosine rose to fame with this pop-screamo jam in 2011, and it remains just as fun to listen to today.

If there was ever a song to make Beliebers and goth teens agree that something was sacrilegious, it would probably be this. You may dislike the individual songs, but together it’s an earworm, indeed. This summer’s collaboration includes songs such as “Blurred Lines”, “Heart Attack”, “I Love It” and “Can’t Hold Us”.

Jordan Roseman has been making a name for himself as DJ Earworm since the early 2000s when he started taking the year’s top 25 hits and combining them into some darn catchy tunes. How do you indie-fy the mainstream? Mush it all together into a way the masses haven’t heard it.

Best music mashups of all time
