I believe, that music gets stuck if (classic) tracks get remixed and remixed again...where is the creativity to make new future Classics??
Sorry for being a bit off topic, just my opinion

Hey again Orkidea
didn't see your comment yesterday, sorry.
I think I was a bit too strict and narrow minded yesterday
As you said, there are good and bad remixes and remakes, I can't judge about them in general! Maybe these many really bad ones that "gives you nightmares" leaded to my negative comment about Remixes of Classics.
I also get the point that remakes can help not to forget about a song and/or show it to a new generation by adding some up to date sounds to it.
To be honest, I was listening to Remixes of really really old dance tunes and wasn't aware that it's a remix as I didn't know the original.
So it can be only problem if you know the original song!
And that's the case now for me with the 90ies...touching me more than 80ies reworks as I had no emotional link/memories to it.
Guess that's one of the reasons why I prefered the originals recently..
Well, I totally agree with your comment above and have to admit, that you are way longer in the EDM scene than me...therefore much more competence to judge about it than me
