Emerging Artist Daydreamix Is Revolutionizing The Musical Scene With His Mashups

By David Presley

Before talking about Daydreamix, let’s explain what does a mashup mean (for those who are not familiar with this concept). A mashup is a creative work, in the form of a song, created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, typically by superimposing the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another, changing the tempo and key where necessary.

Daydreamix is a Moroccan artist (living currently in France) who has shown a great mastery of the science of doing mashups. He specializes in doing mashups between songs from completely different countries, languages and genres, and where a Moroccan song is always present on each mashup. He also edits a video accompanying the audio of the mashup (like a sort of mashup between the videos of the songs too).

For example, watch this Moroccan/American mashup between 3 different songs (will you recognise them?):

The 3 songs are:

Khalid ft. Normani – Love Lies
Halsey – Without me
Snor – De9a De9a

Another example, this time of a Moroccan/French mashup:

What makes Daydreamix’s mashups so special (compared to other mashups on YouTube)?

They gather songs from different countries/cultures/languages
They gather songs from different genres (it can be R&B with Rap, etc.)
They are really seamless and if you didn’t know that it was a mashup, you can think that this is a “normal” song featuring really the artists on the mashup!
Contrarily to other mashups, Daydreamix don’t just do a complete verse from one song then a chorus from another song, then a whole verse from one song and so one. He instead mixes the verses of different songs, the chorus of different songs, so you can feel the mashup vibes at any time of the video.

If you want to have an idea about all his mashups, in one single video, then this one is for you, it’s a video compilation of all 2021 mashups, with only 1min extract from each one:
