Everything is a remix. Everything we do is based on something we have seen somewhere, how else could we do it ? Hardly anything is original, creativity is just the process of knowing how to mix things in a creative way to create something seemingly new.

>Everything is a remix.

Yeah, not really. There are traces from previous works and influences in anything, but this is not it.

This is not the Beatles being influenced from Buddy Holy, Elvis, Little Richard, and co in their early records.

This is like the Monkeys. Or the 20th cookie cutter R&B outfit.

And of course the Beatles went and did stuff that nobody else has done at the time with Revolver and Stg Peppers et al. And Velvet Underground. And Kraftwerk. And tons of others.

Well, then the examples in this website is the total opposite of it.

Musically I'd say it's like sampling a classic hit and getting rich off someone else's hook.

Derivative work, especially under the guise of a professional designer (or even 'dj' remixes) are opportunities to show creativity and craft work.

The examples given here don't bring anything to the table other than proof how lazy and sleezy these "designer / coders" are.
