Send us a text I recently had a healthy debate with a friend over whether or not artists should be submitting to remix comps. He landed on the side that artists shouldn't and they are a waste of time. I pushed back quite hard as I just don't see it that way. Remix comps should be a tool in every producers aresenal. Whether you win or not, should not necessarily be the goal in mind. Remixing is not easy, it's a skill of it's own. There are many, many terrible remixes that DO NOT do the original j...
