Mark Ronson Releases Michael Jackson Mashup On King Of Pop’s 60th Birthday

Mark Ronson x Michael Jackson: "Diamonds Are Invincible" celebrates Michael Jackson's 60th birthday.

Destined to be spun at weddings and parties more than probably any mashup or megamix ever made to date, Mark Ronson’s “Diamonds Are Invincible” is an ambitious mashup of many of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits, all squeezed into one five-minute track.

Replete with scratching and some pretty big genre and BPM switches, it won’t be to everyone’s tastes (and many will wonder why some tracks have been included and others haven’t), but Mark Ronson is no stranger to filling dancefloors as a DJ, and is also promising an extended version soon which may suit more serious dancefloors a bit better.

The mashup stays true to the originals, while revelling in its access to stems (no doubt sanctioned and supplied by Sony Music) that mere mortals would never get the chance to play with.
