The Awl has a nice in-depth article on the history of the remix. While this topic has been covered thoroughly in the past, it bears repeating because as the article points out, “In 1983, [remixes] accounted for 2% of all releases; 7% in 1990; 17% in 2000; until, by 2010, a staggering 20% of all releases were remixes.”
