remixers
Beat reworking artists
Remixers are people who create remixes—new versions of existing songs, videos, or other creative works by rearranging, adding to, or transforming the original material.
The term applies most often in electronic and dance music, where remixers reshape tracks for clubs or radio: The remixers gave the ballad a danceable beat.
In broader creative contexts, remixers may blend multiple sources into something new.
