Remix Culture

A veteran reporter condems ARR for remixing an old song - Behindwoods

The reporter was Major Dasan. He condemned ARR for remixing the song Thottal Poo Malarum.

This is silly. Remixes are really important to introduce the old songs to the younger generation. Younger generation is not interested in old songs.

There are great old songs. But youngsters are not exposed to old songs. Because you can't search the old hits and the recording was poor in quality. So they don't take any interest in those songs. But remixes can introduce those songs to youngsters as well as it gives rebirth to that particular song. Even elderely people like remix.

Remix doesn't misses the actual essence of the song. The actual raaga or the lyrics are not altered. They mix the old stuffs with the new technology and latest styles. Because latest styles reach most parts of the world. So it gives a re-introduction to the song all over the world.

Many remix albums are done in tamil. But when it is used in the film it reaches many tamil people.

Here is a list of remixes,

Tottal poo malarum - New - ARR
Aasai nooru vitham - Kurumbu - Yuvan
Thiruttuppayale - Thiruttuppayale -
Nee muttham onru kodutthal - Pokkiri - Manisharma (The actual lyrics are changed but still has the flavour of old one)
Vasaantha mullai - Pokkiri - Manisharma

Keep on adding guys......
