Versions & edits
Remix
A remix is a new production built from another artist’s parts — usually a different arrangement, often a different genre and tempo. The original vocal or hook survives; almost nothing else has to.
Measured in our catalog
50,945 of 443,414 titles with a duration (11.5%) are remixes, and they run longer than the catalog they sit in — a median of 6:19 against 5:48.
That is the opposite of what the version labels suggest. A remix is a club rebuild of a record that already exists, so it is written with the long intro and outro from the start — more so than the average release around it.

Why it matters
A remix is often the version that makes a track usable for you. The original might sit at a tempo or in a genre you never play, while the remix lands squarely in your set.
It is also why searching by title alone is misleading: one release can exist in five versions with five different tempos, keys and energy readings.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between a remix and an edit?+
A remix is rebuilt from the original parts and is usually a new production. An edit rearranges the finished record — extending an intro, looping a section, cutting a breakdown — without going back to the stems.
Are remixes longer than originals?+
In this catalog, yes. The 50,945 remixed titles run to a median of 6:19 against 5:48 overall — they are written for a club from the outset.
Does a remix have the same key and BPM as the original?+
Frequently not. Changing the tempo and the key is much of the point, which is why the remix and the original can sit in completely different parts of a set.

Extended mix
An extended mix is the DJ cut of a release — a longer intro and outro with more bars of beats at each end, so there is room to mix in and out. It is the version that belongs in a set.
Radio edit
A radio edit is a shortened version cut for airplay — usually under four minutes, with the long intro and outro removed and the arrangement tightened. It is the version that gives a DJ the least to work with.
Chemistry
Chemistry is Mixgraph’s score for how well two tracks mix, from six weighted dimensions: harmonic key, tempo, energy, groove, mood and vocals. It rates the pair, not either track on its own.
