Megamix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A megamix is a medley remix containing multiple songs in rapid succession. There is only one verse or even just a brief chorus of each song used, sometimes in addition to samples of the same or other songs. There may also be some elements of bastard pop in some, though not as much as a mashup. To unify the songs together smoothly, there is often a single backing beat common throughout the megamix, though it is kept basic so as to simplify mixing and to not compete with the music. These mixes are usually several minutes long at minimum, going up to a half-hour sometimes.

Ultimix is the most well-known for these, producing at least one or two every year based on popular songs of the year. Each "flashback medley" is about 15 minutes long, usually with at least that many songs if not more. The "artist megamix" is also popular, with some of the more popular ones (Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys) having more than one, usually from different remix companies. Duran Duran created a megamix single from their own hits for the 1990 greatest-hits album Decade: Greatest Hits. Several megamixes are bootlegs, though most seem to be produced with artist consent in the studio.

The megamix may have originated in the Miami bass scene, with groups like 2 Live Crew.
