Carebox / Info: Terms in track titles explained

Saw this post on Facebook and thought it was worth sharing:

Let's get some things straight here...

Remix - You are asked by the label or artist to do a remix. Your unofficial bootleg is not what we call a remix.

Bootleg - You made your own unique version of a song without the artist's or label's approval. This is not a remix (yet). It does happen sometimes that bootlegs get an official release. Before that don't call it a remix. And don't promote it as such.

Mash-up - You threw 2 (or more! shock!) songs together. Yeah fun, unless it becomes a cheese ball fest, is out of tune, or it wrecks the groove due to extensive warping.

Edit - You did some edits of an existing song to your liking. Add a loop, make the break longer, fatten up the bass, and so on. Fun way to spice up you DJ-sets.

Promo - A song that's being promoted (hence the name promo) before it gets an official release. A demo is not a promo.

Demo - A song that hasn't seen an official release yet, and you might send to a label for consideration.

It's missing two definitions: remuxx and re-amp.
I think remuxx means somethink like "cheesy remix".

lol... it was just a personal definition of "Remix" by only ONE guy :P in two cases : Prophet and The Pitcher.
nobody uses that

btw RemuXX is with a "ScantraXX with a hardcore kick"

funny is that hardstylish called "Live Edit" , a Edit made in studio to be played Live, but which created live

Remix - You are asked by the label or artist to do a remix. Your unofficial bootleg is not what we call a remix.

Fragma - Toca's Miracle (Bioweapon Remix) ..which is a Bootleg, which was to be released for free in Xmas... due copyrights don't even can't share it online with their fans

bootleging ok, bootlegsharing..oops

Didn't mention any info on VIPs.
"VIP in this context stands for Variation In Production. It means the original producer has remixed his own track."
Basically from what I understand as a track that's been remixed by the original artist on their own accord to revive the track, add a bit of a change, and generally aren't released to the general public soon after its creation, the EP only given to certain DJs who could play it. Called either Very Important Person mix, or Variation In Production remix. Also from my experience, a VIP is much better and more popular than the original mix

First time I hear about VIP. Mostly this construction is just released as Artist - Track (Artist Remix). And they give the remix part all sorts of funky names.

VIP is a term that is mostly used in breakbeat-based genres afaik. You'll see the construction you described in other genres more often.

true. is the "house music" point of view of Chocolate Puma aka Dobres & Zki aka The Goodmen & more.
since 92+- have been house & a bit progressive/techno.
