I recently had a healthy debate with a friend over whether or not artists should be submitting to remix comps.
He landed on the side that artists shouldn't and they are a waste of time. I pushed back quite hard as I just don't see it that way.
Remix comps should be a tool in every producers aresenal.
Whether you win or not, should not necessarily be the goal in mind. Remixing is not easy, it's a skill of it's own. There are many, many terrible remixes that DO NOT do the original justice...
And then there are remixes that are legendary. Remixes that have stood the test of time and still to this day are true classics, arguably bigger than the original. That is what makes remixing so difficult and so unique compared to writing an original.
Think the Skrillex remix of Cinema. How about Illenium's remix of Don't Let Me Down? If I Lose Myself, the Alesso remix, huge track! All arguably better than the originals.
With that in mind, this showcases how important having this tool in your arsenal is.
