His music productions’ tremendous success has now led Kim to subsequently publish an annual large-scale mash-up, including his most recent “2014 Pop Danthology.” The YouTube star’s latest mash-up features a mind-blowing hodgepodge of 66 popular singles of all varying genres into one, cohesively sound 5-minute-45-second track. To date the debut mash-up clip has amassed more than 60 million views on YouTube. The clip was an instant viral success, gaining more than 10 million hits worldwide in just three days. In 2012, Kim unveiled his “Pop Danthology 2012” music video, in which the music producer selected more than 50 songs to intertwine and marinate together. Now breathing fresh life into and further expanding the growing popularity of song mashing is Korean-Canadian YouTube sensation Daniel Kim, who is best known in the online community for his annual “Pop Danthology” year-end productions.
The out-of-left-field box office hit hysterically highlighted both the musical art of a capella, while all the while having young people mixing and mashing together popular tracks into a single harmoniously synced song. The 2012 Hollywood blockbuster “Pitch Perfect” helped rocket song mashing into the global, mainstream limelight. Much thanks to YouTube, technological innovation and sheer musical genius, the art of mash-ups is becoming one of the hottest trends in the music industry today.
From the humorously trend-setting era of hammer pants to the present day hip-hop infused electro-psychedelic pop, the music world is certainly no stranger to the constantly changing and ever-so-inventive modern fads and phases.
