If you ask me this is why I think artists do alot of rmx's.
Normaly you start to see remixs by artists after they release an album of alot of tracks on various comps. This is because when you have writen so much original music you WILL find it hard to think of original ideas because you will have used them up in your other tracks.
BUT when you choose to rmx somthing of anougther artist then you almost adapt your ideas to the style of that artist.When you do this its like somone has opened a door in your head and introduces you to a new world of sounds.
For example, If I was to rmx Hallucnogen (I WISH) then automaticly I am thinking about trippy sounds, big open melodies,some sort of indian singing ect,ect...I can then take these ideas and mix it with my own trade mark sounds to form somthing new.....
Now, alot of people would say that this is just an artist taking a idea that somonelse has already done but let me tell you that when you write a rmx after you have finished it, your sound has change a little bit.This is always a good thing because it gets boring when an artist pumps out the same old stuff track after track after track.
As you are most definatly tired of hearing about, I have done a rmx of prodigy's voodoo people.After writing that, my ears are picking up on diferent sounds now, and I now have the inspiration to go on and write somthing new eventhough I have just done a whole album.
Basicly, remixing is very good for an artist to try, even if you are an artist who is against this whole remixing thing you should try to remix somthing,you don't have to release it or play it out,It can only make your speakers wider apart from each other!!!!!!
All the best>>>>junya |

Regardless of whether it is "commercial" or not, I for one dig hearing remixes of a good track. It allows another artist to give their interpretation of somebody else's creation. Sometimes they put a new spin on it and it is excellent, sometimes it sucks....sort of like new tracks.  Remixes also give an artist a chance to update their own track several years later.
It is also sort of cool to have 2 versions of a track for various occasions on the dancefloor. I have heard some full on nighttime tracks and thought that elements could be done really well in a more housey or prog track more fit for the morning.
A truly great track usually has more to it than is just limited to a single interpretation.....
