remiks

Remiks is a term used in several languages to denote a remix, a reworked version of an existing song or audio track. In languages such as Turkish, Polish, Indonesian and others, remiks serves as the common spelling of the concept, reflecting the English word remix while conforming to local orthography.

In music production, a remiks involves reinterpreting the original material by re-editing or re-recording elements, adjusting tempo or groove, and often adding new instrumentation or vocals. Remixes vary in purpose and style, from club-oriented versions designed for dance floors to radio-friendly edits. They may be officially commissioned by the rights holder or created informally by DJs and fans; official remixes are usually released under artist and producer credits separate from the original track.

Licensing and attribution are important: creating a remiks generally requires permission from the copyright holder, and the resulting work may be treated as a derivative with its own rights and royalties. In practice, remix culture contributes to the longevity and reach of songs, enabling cross-genre experimentation and regional audiences to access familiar material in new forms.

Remiks also appears in broader media practice, including video and meme culture, where remixed content circulates across platforms; however, the term is most widely used within music to describe reworked audio tracks.
