Mashup down professional#
But I have been working as a professional dj since the beginning of this year. I’m from a little town around 35 miles south of Vienna, Austria. My DJ name is coming from the nick name I have had ever since it refers to my last name. I’m Tom but people know me as DJ Schmolli. What’s your real name and what you do for a living?ĭJS: Thanks, Scott. TCW: Thanks for dropping by to share with our readers a little bit about yourself and your craft. We’ve also included a few pieces of digital bootleg mashup candy (including a fabulous video mashup of AC-DC with Robyn) for your enjoyment. If you’re unfamiliar with DJ Schmolli and his work, check out “Pirate Nation Vol.2” (30 min mixtape). In this exclusive interview, I chat with him a bit about his work as a dj, remixer and mashup bootlegger. His talent for combining the seemingly unlikely - The Monkees with Iron Maiden, for instance - is one of the things that makes him an up-and-coming superstar on the international bootleg dance music scene.

A partial library of my mashups and remixes can be found here.ĭJ Schmolli is one of my favorite mashup artists. My experiences as a night club dj made the move to creating music - and content - mashpups a natural progression for me.

In my work as a blogger, presenter, and content strategy consultant, I borrow concepts from remixing music to make such examples easier to understand. I often use music as a way to illustrate how components of content can be re-purposed or recombined in new ways to create useful derivatives of content.
