Jordan Roseman (aka DJ Earworm) is a San Francisco-based mashup artist who has achieved recognition for his technically sophisticated, songwriting oriented music and video mashups.[1][2] His annual “United State of Pop” mashups, short mixes featuring the top 25 songs of the year according to Billboard magazine, have reached the Top 100 for national radio play.[3]
Biography
Roseman was born into a big family of musicians and raised in eastern Iowa and Evanston, Illinois.[2][4] In his early life, he played piano and produced original electronic music on a computer, later majoring in music theory and computer science at the University of Illinois. He began using ACID Pro recreationally in 2003. After encouragement from DJ Adrian at Club Bootie, Roseman created the moniker DJ Earworm ("earworm" referencing a song that repeats uncontrollably in one's mind) and began releasing mashups on a website.[5]
DJ Earworm has a unique mashup style that consists of a compositional, songwriting approach. He gradually layers samples on top of one another, matching keys and subtly altering melodies. His work often incorporates phrases and snippets from vocal tracks which have been rearranged in order to convey an entirely new meaning than the original material, such as the political message in his mashup “No More Gas”. He has been contrasted with mashup artist Girl Talk, who has a more DJ-oriented style.[6]
He is the author of Audio Mashup Construction Kit (Wiley, 2006), a how-to manual for creating mashups.[7]
At the 2008 IDEA conference, he revealed that he has made mashups using Ableton Live₨, and now DJs live with the same software.[8]
