The playlist this week is the Remix episode of the genre series we have been exploring. You might not think it is a genre but it is so popular and can change the genre of the song that I am going to go ahead and call it a genre for this series. The playlist has remixes with Canadian artists released in the last year or so.
Remixes have become the norm in contemporary dance music, giving one song the ability to appeal across many different musical genres or dance venues. Such remixes often include “featured” artists, adding new vocalists or musicians to the original mix. The remix is also widely used in hip hop and rap music. An R&B remix usually has the same music as the original song but has added or altered verses that are rapped or sung by the featured artists. It usually contains some if not all of the original verses of the song however they may be arranged in a different order than they originally were. (Source: Wikipedia)
