A Fusion of Emotion and Energy: My Mashup of “I Love It” and “Children”
Music mashups are an art form—a way to blend two distinct tracks into something fresh and electrifying. When I set out to mix Cheat Codes & DVBBS’ “I Love It” with Rudeejay, Da Brozz & Luis Rodriguez’s “Children,” I had one goal: to create an experience that balances emotion with pure, pulsing energy.
The Vision Behind the Mashup
There was something about the uplifting, anthemic sound of “Children” that felt like the perfect foundation for a dynamic vocal. The melody alone carries nostalgia, yet feels timeless, driving forward with hypnotic synths that make it impossible not to move. On the other hand, “I Love It” brings a euphoric vocal performance—an unapologetic declaration of feeling that makes the listener want to throw their hands up and sing along.
By merging the two, I wanted to bring an emotional intensity to the already powerful instrumental while maintaining the heart-pounding momentum that dance music thrives on.
The Creation Process
Every mashup comes with challenges, but blending these two felt almost serendipitous. The vocal fit the structure of “Children” beautifully, sliding into the beat with an effortless flow. Adjusting pitch, tempo, and layering effects to make the vocal feel at home in this new sonic landscape was where the magic really happened.
Through careful mixing and tweaking, the final result brought a cinematic atmosphere—the kind of track that belongs blasting from festival speakers or fueling late-night drives. The highs lift you up, and the beat keeps you moving.
The Feel & The Future
This mashup isn’t just about two songs coming together—it’s about capturing a feeling, building a bridge between nostalgia and modern energy. It’s a reminder of how powerful music can be when different elements collide in just the right way.
