i think that's usually the intent of the remixer, to have their version selected by DJs to get people moving on the dancefloor. Of course, there are remixes that work better on their own and make for great headphone grooving, but often when we get a disc full of mixes of the same track (e.g. the King of Snake single, or notoriously, the "Go" remix disc by Moby, with like 14 versions all smooshed together), i wonder, how many remixes actually get played?

i've always thought (maybe incorrectly?) that remixes were commissioned to take an already popular track and (a) juice it up for the clubs, esp. if it's a huge hit already and the original is getting tired or (b) to sell singles as having the rare so-and-so remix.

By the way, negative1, as you yourself proved with your riverrun remix mix, that set of 12"ers worked amazing in the mix, and generally hold up as standalones as they're al pretty drastic reworkings of the originals.
