remix

In pop music, the studio practice of reassembling a recording from all or some of its individual components, often with the addition of new elements. As a commercial concept, remixes accompanied the rise of the 12-inch single in the 1980s.

Issuing a recording in several different remixes ensures additional sales to collectors and increases airplay; remixes can be geared specifically to radio, dance clubs, and so on. Some record producers specialize in remixing.

In 1987 Madonna became the first artist in the USA to release an album consisting entirely of remixes (You Can Dance).
