remix
DJ's altered track
A remix is a new version of a song or recording created by altering the original—adding beats, changing tempo, isolating vocals, or layering new elements: The DJ dropped a remix of that track.
Beyond music, remix describes any creative reworking of existing material: His novel is essentially a remix of Greek mythology.
To remix is to create such a version.
