mashup
Songs spliced together
A mashup combines elements from different sources into something new.
In music, a mashup blends two or more songs—typically laying one track's vocals over another's instrumentals: That DJ made a mashup of Beyoncé and Led Zeppelin.
In web development, a mashup integrates data or functionality from multiple sources into a single application.
The term extends to any creative hybrid: The show is a mashup of comedy and horror.
