With music from a wide variety of popular artists, the platform provides a creative way for users to generate their own musical creations. The Clash Up series is an interactive feature that allows users to [mix music by different artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openmic). Each week, Interlude will feature a series of artists from different decades and genres. For instance, the first week features music from artists such as Jason Derulo, Notorious B.I.G., The Flaming Lips and the B-52s. Users start with one video and then begin adding more until they create the perfect mash-up. Each song is also accompanied by an [interactive music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meloday) for a truly immersive experience.
