Are there any "rules" for a remix?

[Komplex]

Can any of you supervillians tell us whether or no there are any hard-and-fast dos-and-don'ts when it comes to remixing a track, i.e. are you supposed to take elements of the original track and rework them, is it supposed to be a completely new creation, et cetera. It seems that remixes of every imaginable stripe have been done so I was just wondering...



:?:

never under stand why people remix. if u like the orignial track, why try to remix it? U think u can do it better?

If u dont like the track r remixing, then why not make ur own?

Its mostly a money thing and a way to fill up ep's with rehashed versions of the original. You wouldn't understand ;)
