Abstract
Based on fieldwork conducted between March and November 2011, this article argues that the popularity of remixing has led to a restructuring of compensation for producers of remixes within the context of electronic dance music (EDM). This article presents the different ways producers of EDM are currently compensated for their remixes, and how this compensation differs from the payment and intellectual property protections given for the composition of original songs. This article concludes by discussing how these producers are beginning to negotiate deals with labels and artists that will result in greater financial security and better protection of remixers' intellectual property rights.- The author retains copyright over the work.
