Underworld are using Laidback Luke (and other remixers) solid reputation to sell copies, not the other way around. It's UW who are riding the coattails of the remixers. Wighnomy/Pete Heller/Huntemann et.al were chosen because they were/are very popular with dj's. Pete Heller didn't ask to have a remix on the single so he could take some of UW's glory. UW, or their management, asked Heller (and Laidback Luke) because they liked their work and thought it would sell copies. You've got this all backwards. BTW, all of those mixers i mentioned created mixes that had little or nothing to do with the original songs other than the vocal track.
