Best Remixes of Popular Songs: Performing versions of existing songs is not a new practice in the music world; it’s called covering, as most of you already know. However, over the past couple of decades, a new way of reinterpreting popular tunes has emerged: remixes. Unlike previous practices, remixing implies using the original song, sung by the original artist (although the song CAN be a version of another one written or previously interpreted by somebody else), and modifying or editing it in a way that it sounds different, but is still essentially the same song.
