Skrillex Vs Kriss Kross - Reptile Jump

Reptile Jump epitomizes a clash of genres that at first glance should not work well together but once forced to stay in the same room for a while end up making the perfect match.  This mashup started as a small idea and turned into full-fledged obsession. School work was put on hold and each friend and acquaintance nearby was forced to listen to multiple versions for opinions.  How did this idea come about?  A dream.  Almost.

I was about to fall asleep one night and Kriss Kross's Jump was stuck in my head.  I had listened to it earlier that day to satisfy my need for a good throwback track I have not heard in a while.  It satisfied my throwback desires so much the chorus was stuck in my head all the way to my pillow nearly 8 hours later.  Slowly the "Jump Jump" sample by Kriss Kross morphed in the "Jump" sample used in Skrillex's Reptile.  My eyes flung open and from that point on I knew I was not going to get any sleep that night.  4 hours later at 5am in the morning my FL Studios playlist took shape.

While as simple as it may seem this is only what can be seen on the surface of the project file.  28 Mixer Inserts were used along with 15 sidechains of effects, two of which were dedicated for sidechain compression.  The compression chains were used mostly for the competing basslines and kick drums in each of the three songs mixed.  All said, this was a lot of fun to deal with.

I'm not going to give away all my secrets on how I pulled this mashup off but perhaps AudioCollege will.  Your #1 Source for Everything Audio.

Thank You for Listening!
