Mash-up

A mash-up is when a DJ takes music from different sources and mixes them together to produce a new work. In general, each original source will contribute more-or-less equally to the final work, and there will not be significant new sounds from the DJ. A common type of mash-up is the use of the vocals of one song, matched to the music of another song. However, there's no clear cut-off point between a mash-up, a remix (RemixRelationshipType), and a new work that includes samples (SamplesRelationshipType)

The MashUpRelationshipType can be used to link a mash-up to the tracks it is built of.
