I think remixes give songs more life.

They amaze me most of those remixes. Some of them are crap. But every time I complain, someone comes up and says they are for a different market that you don't understand. Some of the New Order ones are really great, though.

A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.

I believe in the ethos of the remix, like Andy Warhol making a painting of a Campbell's soup label.

I guess the idea of doing albums in their entirety, in sequence, appeals to people. I guess it's the memory of being able to hear the music in the way it was originally presented.

There aren't that many songs that pay homage to the DJ. They are the ones getting artists' music out there. They are the ones getting the club popping. But no one's giving them any love.

It's even exhausting for me to think about remixes because there were so many Miike Snow remixes.

I get a lot of demos sent my way, and I listen to them, and sometimes they just have something very special.

If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself, it makes the sound more special.

It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.
