Mixing genres in collaboration

Would you ever produce a multi-genre song or collaborate with a musician who is quite different from yourself. I'm thinking Rock and Classical, Country and Gospel, Folk and Hip Hop ?

I always liked blues mixed with Hiphop, here is a Wikiloops one I did a while ago [wl]120087[/wl]

One of my fvourite blues Hiphop almums is good old RL Burnside, check it out [youtube]vLDN9JuAK1I?si=ZFVHYnapIj5nPuDz[/youtube]

I did a classical number that turned into a classical rocker. Pederson started it with his wonderful Piano skills

Dana came in and did some smoking guitar work.

CS followed with a killer bassline

and I put in some drums and percussion.

wikiloops track ID: #85607

TeeGee, I think your "Dizzy" is a better example of mixed genres than Burnsides actually :)

Bothen, Wow, Epic! Those classical drums fit in so well to this Rock production :W

#187138 Cool Funk Bass jam by JMB65 I added a Jazz Swing beat because I don’t like staying in a box
#270136 I added drums to JMB65 in 2020 no response so I added the drums to Marceys jam.

Slight mix of genre in this one.

GDB, thanks, nice but not too extreme yet :)

Frankie, thanks, Flamenco meets Turkish Delight :)

Mark had an interesting template that I joined in on, made it a bit rock-orchestra-hip/hop style :)

Wow, that really works, powerful film soundtrack I'd say

Why not all experiments are welcome. From other point of view result is unpredictable but always can delete the collaboration. B)

No need even to do that is there?

I love the loops best when the completely unexpected happens, it's wonderful that different folk hear different things in a track, it's the beating heart of wikiloops.
