Welcome to the biographical blog of RemiEXS, where we delve into the stories behind remix contests that have shaped the electronic music landscape. Along the way, we remember some key platforms and colleagues who played a significant role in this community—from Metapop and Kreasound to FindRemix and Remixpacks. These hubs and initiatives were pioneers, each contributing their unique touch to the remix scene before stepping back for various reasons, sometimes under unfortunate circumstances. Since our launch in June 2020, we’ve been on a mission to uncover opportunities from every corner of the globe—celebrating contests organized by labels, platforms, and independent communities. After taking a break in 2024 to reflect and refocus, we’re back with fresh energy. This space isn’t about rigid timelines or exhaustive histories. It’s about celebrating the creativity and innovation that drive the remix culture—whether through revisiting iconic past contests or highlighting exciting new ones.
