ABSTRACT
There can be little doubt that remixing plays a major role in much of today’s music industry. It is now regularly used as a viable form of promotion even if the original record isn’t dance, yet while many artists still scorn it as ‘untalented theft’ or the ‘plague of today’s music scene’, remixing has played a vital role throughout music history, since we’ve all been inspired by previous releases. Even classical musicians such as Mozart, Bach and Beethoven could be seen as remixers, since it wasn’t considered unusual for classical composers to borrow entire sections of another’s composition and rework it into their own style.
