question about trance/EDM music titles

Many times I'll see a title like this: " Donna Jones & Eric Smith versus AKF - PerfectTrance ". I'm assuming the Donna and Eric is a trance team of producers but why the " versus AKF " ?

This has always puzzled me and I only see it in EDM titles. Thanks for educating me.

I've wondered about this too. nt ZombieHorde Dec 2013 #1
Often but not always "Versus" signifies the song as a mash up. LonePirate Dec 2013 #2
thanks for that info steve2470 Dec 2013 #3
You're welcome. I think the collaboration angle is probably the most common reason for it. LonePirate Dec 2013 #4

Other times it indicates a collaboration, not necessarily by being in the same studio together.

It makes the song "cooler" instead of using "and" or "with" or "featuring" to designate additional contributors.
