IS MASHUP-GERMANY JUST ONE PERSON?
Yes, it’s just me and my other me’s
WHEN DID YOU START PRODUCING MASHUPS?
September, 2008.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
26
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Germany and I live there, but I am half-American.
DO YOU PLAY A MUSIC INSTRUMENT?
I started playing the drums when I was 12 and I play a little piano.
WHERE DO YOU GET ALL THE ACAPELLAS AND INSTRUMENTALS FROM?
Check my friends page to find an answer on this one.
HOW DO YOU DO THE KEY MATCHING?
Usually by ear, but I use software to verify certain parts.
DID YOU MAKE ALL THE MASHUPS ON YOUR SITE BY YOURSELF?
Yes, I did.
WHAT SOFTWARE DO YOU USE?
I use Adobe Audition 3.0, Sony Acid Pro, Logic Pro, Celemony Melodyne, FruityLoops and some other tools.
For DJing I use a MacBook Pro, VirtualDJ Pro 6.3 and the DJ Console RMX.
CAN I DOWNLOAD YOUR MASHUPS?
To quote Obama: “Yes, you can.”
…damn, he said “Yes we can.”, well whatever.
IS BENSTILLLER YOUR REAL NAME?
No, it’s not.
“Ben” is the name of my American grandfather who was murdered in Philadelphia in the 60s.
The name “Stilller” is used in referring to the german novel “Stiller” by Max Frisch.
It’s about a man that has major identification issues going on and it’s the same with my mixes.
I play with the identity of music, I change and renew it.
Put those two names together and you got “BenStilller”. I used the third “l” so that people don’t mistake me with the famous Hollywood actor, although the referring isn’t by accident.
The actor does pretty much mainstream cinema but also some alternative stuff.
I try the same with my mixes.
I mostly use mainstream music, to reach many people, but I try to combine it with less known music I personally like.
IS IT LEGAL WHAT YOU’RE DOING?
Well, in the end it isn’t.
I use copyrighted music and publish it (mostly) without permission.
But because it is for non-commercial use, it is (mostly) tolerated.
We need a international Copyright law, that allows people to edit and share the music they bought.
I’m in contact with some of the artists I used in my mixes and none of them had a problem with me using their music.
DO YOU EARN MONEY WITH YOUR MIXES?
NO, I don’t and I don’t want to.
I just want to share my love for music with you guys, that’s it.
I have NO commercial purpose at all.
CAN I MAKE DONATION TO MASHUP-GERMANY?
No, you can’t
Very nice, but I don’t want any money!!!
WHY DO YOU USE ENGLISH ON YOUR PAGES?
I get a lot of messages from Asia, Australia, the States, pretty much from all over the world, therefore it makes sense to use English.
It’s the language almost everyone understands.
WHAT’S YOUR GOAL WITH YOUR MASHUPS?
My goal is to connect german and international music, to present german music to an international audience.
MANY OF YOUR MASHUPS DON’T USE GERMAN MUSIC, WHY IS THAT?
There are very few acapella and instrumental releases from Germany.
There is simply a lack of ressources.
DO YOU ALSO WORK AS DJ?
Yes, I also work as pro Club-DJ.
Started DJing when I was 14, dude, that’s like ten years ago…I’m getting old
Find out about upcoming Livegigs on my “Events” Page.
If you are a Booker or own a Club, check the “Booking” Page.
I WANT TO PLAY ONE OF OF YOUR MIXES ON THE RADIO?
No problem, just do it.
No extra permission needed.
To quote the actor Ben Stiller from the movie “Dodgeball”: “Do it, Do it, just do it!”
I’M A SINGER / I HAVE A BAND AND WOULD LIKE TO DO A PROJECT WITH YOU.
DO YOU DO STUFF LIKE THAT?
Sure, just tell me about your ideas and we’ll see.

SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS DISAPPEARED. WHAT HAPPENED?
Sometimes, as most of you proberly know, videos get blocked on youtube.
If you use content that is licensed by WMG for example.
If a video gets blocked, I usually upload it on vimeo and you find it on my blog.

Mashup-Germany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you
I'm talking loud not saying much
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Without you
Never do the same
Oh, sometimes
I get a good feeling, yeah
We found love in a hopeless place
And a feeling that I never
Never, never, never had before, no no
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor
Hello
Ge-ge-e jo jo uh lala hmm lets go, geronimo
I'll get you out of here
Welcome to St. Tropez
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm sexy and I know it
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger
Shake that
So many boys in here, where do I begin?
I see this one, I'm bout to go in
I got a little bit mashed last night, night
Daylight come and we don't wanna go home
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm sexy and I know it
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger
Shake that
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same without you
Without you
Hey, give me everything
All day
Give me everything
All night
Give me everything
All day
Give me everything tonight
All night...
Grab somebody sexy tell 'em hey
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm sexy and I know it
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger
Shake that
Firing at the ones who rise
I just can't get enough
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We found love in a hopeless place
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We found love in a hopeless place
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We found love in a hopeless place
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We found love in a hopeless place
Shake that
Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared
Come on, come on, come on
(Come on, come on, come on...)
(We could've had it all)
(All the other kids with the pumped up kicks)
(You'd better run, better run,
Outrun my gun)
(Rolling in the deep)
(You had my heart inside of your hand)
(All the other kids with the pumped up kicks)
(You'd better run, better run,
Faster than my bullet)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Rolling in the deep
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You had my heart inside of your hand
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
But you played
With the beating
Everyday I'm shufflin'
Give me everything
All day
Give me everything
All night
We found love in a hopeless place
Just wanna make you sweat
Give me everything
What the f*uck
The lyrics in Mashup-Germany's song "Top of the Pops 2011" are a combination of various popular songs from that year. Despite the different sources, the lyrics flow well together to form a cohesive narrative. It starts off with the line "There's a fire starting in my heart", which is from Adele's hit song "Rolling in the Deep". The line signifies that the singer is feeling intense emotions, possibly related to heartbreak, but they are ready to move on without the person who caused this pain.
The lyrics then shift to a positive and energetic tone with the repetition of "I've got the moves like Jagger". This line is taken from Maroon 5's hit single "Moves Like Jagger", and it is all about the singer's confidence in his dance moves. The high-energy vibe continues with the lines "Grab somebody sexy tell 'em hey" and "We found love in a hopeless place", taken from "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull and "We Found Love" by Rihanna respectively.
As the song progresses, there are more transitions from one song to another, including brief interludes from popular hits like "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People and "Just Can't Get Enough" by Black Eyed Peas. The overall theme of "Top of the Pops 2011" seems to be about letting go of past hurts, having fun, and living life to the fullest.
