Brilliant remix, loving what's been done to the track.

No, it's not. A remix is taking the components from the original song and modifying, twisting, reversing, looping, filtering, stretching, equalising or otherwise changing them and using them to create something new, different and hopefully good. A couple of new elements can be added tastefully.
On the other hand, making an original song from scratch and then throwing a few bars of the breakdown from the song you were "remixing" over the top defeats the purpose of the whole process. |
That's just your opinion, yet a common one, what a remix is. There are no absolute rules for making a remix. It's just what people think a remix should sound like. Some people prefer remixes very different to the original and some prefer remixes only a slightly tweaked, more similar to the original.
A remix is purely the remixers' vision of the remixed track, no matter whether the resulted track is 99.9% the same than the original or 99.9% different with only a fracture of a second bit used from it. Often the remixes do sound nothing like the original, like most dub or instrumental mixes of poppy tracks are but does that really matter if the "remix" is good?
