Summary: Mashups used to be a clever anomaly in the world of music, where creative DJs and producers would essentially create a new song out of two or three other tracks. Now, they're going mainstream, and more and more hobbyists and interested people want to play with the concept. Enter Indiloop, a web application that strips away the complexity of software like FL Studio or Ableton to bring remixing and mashups to the masses. Today, Roo talks to Erik Ashdown, founder and CEO of Indiloop Media Inc.
