Spotify Reavalia Regras Para Dar Aos 'Remixadores' Mais Respeito

Spotify Reworks Rules to Give Remixers More Respect

Music is one of those art forms that sits at the cutting edge of technological development, and yet the industry itself is often slow to catch up. It took the Grammys until 2014 to consider work with samples in every category, and it wasn't until 2016 that the awards institution made free mixtapes and releases eligible for consideration.

Even Spotify, who arguably leads the charge in the streaming revolution, has only now changed its rules to credit remixers for the streams their remixes garner. Until now, only the original artist received the streaming numbers, and the remixer's popular songs list on their page wouldn't reflect popular remixes streamed either.

"Remixes are a major part of the way music evolves in the 21st century," Spotify said in its official announcement. "They build bridges between genres and they connect cultures around the world. Now Spotify is making some changes designed to give remixers the credit they deserve."

Spotify also interviewed famed and Grammy-decorated remixer Louie Vega to talk proper remixes from start to finish. Read all about it on Spotify's website.
