If I only understood his case much earlier before his unexpected death.
My gratitude and respect goes to Avicii, a struggling artistic music-painter in the whole cut-throat music industry that finally did him in. This is a great insight. In days gone by it was encouraged to find artists to remix in order to raise your profile, but nowadays people are deterring anyone from doing remixes to get your name out there, as there is just so much noise now.
I also miss Avicii. I never liked or listened to his music, but he seemed like a good guy who wanted to make people happy. And he made a LOT of people happy. As a commercial enterprise, yes they are cynical and vacuous…but for many people its fun to re-work a classic. Here are some remixes which are not commercially motivated, and for me are reasons remixes are cool.
Where else would you get someone re-interpreting an art form? Could you point me in the direction of those remixes of your work and also your original work so that I can compare and contrast? I get what you mean though. Although I think sampling single drum hits or notes and making a new arrangement is fine most of the time.

As soon as you have ideas down, sketch out a basic arrangement. You should have it down quicker than you would normally when working on an original, because you already have a few ideas handed to you. This way, I have the arrangement in place from the start.
I may change the arrangement later on in the production process, but I benefit from building on a solid foundation. Want tips on how to write and arrange better music?

For example, you could take 1 bar of the original, stick it at the end of a bar phrase in your remix, automate some phaser and filters to create an awesome transitional effect. There are many other ways to use the original audio, so get creative! Want to impress the listener? Get creative with stems! You can make stems your own with enough processing. Reverse and chop up acapellas, apply heavy distortion to bass sounds, the possibilities are endless. I find it helpful to think of a remix as an original track.
But it was Billy Ray Cyrus jumping on the remix that took it to the next level. After dropping in April this year, the rework became a mainstay in charts, topping the Billboard Hot for a mind-boggling 19 weeks. The remix now has million more streams than the original on Spotify. With these two remixes, the original artists were still very much present. Billy Ray Cyrus, Jaykae and Aitch were just bolt-ons, adding to the source material instead of taking away.
Craig compares this phenomenon to movie cameos. Watch Chris Lake in the Remix Lab. Where are See. It's time to look back at some of the once …. What happens, though, when a rework becomes a new piece of work entirely? When a remix properly, well, mixes everything up?
