The proper remix

You know what pisses me off when it comes to music? It has to be most remixes. There are fake and real remixes. The type that annoys me is the former. What is a fake remix you ask? Well it happens when an artiste makes a really good song that becomes a hit. Then this artiste is approached by another big artiste who says they want to collaborate on that song because they love the it and believe they can add something new to it. So they go to studio and record. A few days pr weeks later, they release it. Only that the song feels nothing like a remix. It sounds exactly like the original song, just with an added verse at the beginning or the end. That is it. That's what you were busy cooking up in the studio for days. Heck, anyone can make that kind of remix at home with good software and two different audios.
Dear artistes, a remix does not mean leaving the song the same way you found it. When you say you are going to make a remix, actually remix the song.  If you really wanted to be part of the song, then create it all over again. Make it sound fresh, and different from original. Create a new song worth buying and listening. And in case you need you need examples, just listen to Love In This Club, and Back To Sleep remixes.
Now that you know, you better not disappoint me next time.
