Smash-up Derby

Tonight Aaron and I went to Centro (the nightclub from the Sangri-La) to see Smah-up Derby. This group created the first mash-up club in the US and is now travelling the globe exporting the style. Now what is that style. It's simple. You take 2-3 songs and you blend them together, i.e. you combine them in one song. As you can imagine it requires some skills because you cannot just play the different songs one after the other but rather find a way to combine pieces of them together.
I had never heard this before and it turned out fantastic, especially in a club because you get the best parts of the songs to dance on :) What a great night!
