Nostalgia, perhaps? But I love a good mashup.
The more disparate the genres smashed together, the better.
Whether it's Iggy Pop and the Stooges meeting Salt n Pepa (2ManyDJs were the masters)
Or this one -- Sigur Ros spliced into Mobb Deep (how Portland DJ Emancipator ever thought to do that, I'll never know -- not even the keys are the same, G# and Bflat minor)
There's a cleverness and "whiff of the unexpected" that either makes these work or fall flat.
