I’m convinced that this is quite possibly the greatest music mashup of the 21st century. I’ve never seen 39 songs sampled together and sound this perfect. A true masterpiece.

stream good faith !

[milkie]

the fact that this isn’t on spotify kills me i need it

[KidBelos]

12 years later, still the best most iconic mashup I've ever heard

[azura]

This song is a huge explosion of nostalgia. goodbye 2010’s😌We will miss you

[Proximity]

Name a more iconic launchpad mashup than this.

[slaebae]

Most people don't understand the level of composing this takes. DJs have a hard time mixing even TWO songs together. Some psychos out there can run Quads but those are a rare breed. Let alone 30+. Obviously this was practiced and what not. But how many years would you need to mash together 30+ songs? Dude was like 16 when he made this. Insanely impressive to throw this together at that age. Some fucking legitimate genius level shit.

[lit]

a lot of edm hasn’t aged so gracefully, a lot of the time you can hear edm and tell whether it was made during the 2010s because of how everything sounded during that era
but something i love about madeon’s pop culture and just all his music in general is that all of his stuff never age. this mashup is generally old now, but it still sounds so good. being able to create music that sounds great in every era is such a skill and madeon will forever be one of my favorite edm artists of all time

[ikkeheltvanlig]

"Here are 39 songs I like"
And here is one Mashup I like

[saget_sux]

39 songs, 9 YEARS AGO, and my man still ain't copy striked

[Verdelita]

Still stopping in to revisit 12 years later. Pure magic and it was released during what was a pretty magical era for a lot of us. Shocked how much this still holds up and gets me to hit that replay button every time 🥲

[misstechnicolorphase]

It's 2024 and I still come back to this. Massive nostalgia

[mayraclarissa]

and 9 years after this iconic mashup, he earns himself a grammy nomination. so proud of you hugo, never stop what you do best

[MIO_sh]

I'm amazed how he not getting 39 copyright strikes

[pianoatthirty]

When things are made out of joy and curiosity, they never age.

[DownUnderDualSport]

I remember listening to this on repeat as a kid. Was reminded about it on TikTok. It’s still just an absolute banger dude.

[epicgardening]

I come back yearly to pay homage to the king

[ImWeirdAndILikeIt]

Remember when Madeon was just a little french kid “messing around” with a launchpad

[mnstremzrgy]

My dad showed me this when i was 11 years old and it was first uploaded and then unexpectedly passed when i was 14, this mashup has always meant so much to me and escapsulated such a nostalgic part of my life!!

[maxijay]

15 year old me, in my old tiny room... opening the door to the world of electronic music... no words can describe the feelings going through me right now... <3
