What is a remix?
Remix is "the activity of taking samples from pre-existing materials to combine them into new forms." [Eduardo Navas, Remix Theory] While maintaining some material resemblance to the original, in remix process, the samples are usually altered to suit the new concept, creative intention and form, as they have been in Ouster Remixed.
