'mashup' parties in london warehouses in the 80's
You're kidding me. You think mashups started with Napster? No offense, but how young are you?
Maybe the term, but certainly not the actualisation.
mashup heritage
Hi! I'm 30.
Like you mentioned, the practice of remixing is far older than the mashup. I've done a bit of explaining of this here:

Of course the blending and borrowing of music is as old as music itself, but the explosion of mashups in the Napster timed period can't be ignored. While a lot of the early mashup pioneers (Osymyso, Freelance Hellraiser, Dsico) had backgrounds as musicians and DJs, the kids they inspired who really blew the phenomenon up in large part did not - and they found their samples from the 'net. The idea that anyone could do it definitely owes to easy access to source material and cheap computers and software. This took it into the mainstream.
