Information about Remix Album
A remix album is an album consisting mostly of remixes or re-recorded versions of a music artists' earlier released material.
Sly & The Family Stone's release, 10 Years Too Soon featured disco remixes of the 1960s Family Stone hits. Then, in 1982, Soft Cell's release, Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing, (containing the track "A Man Could Get Lost" which is notable as one of the precursors to house music) was released. A month after the Soft Cell album, The Human League's Love and Dancing was released, and just under a year later Imagination's Nightdubbing was released.
The format was later popularised by the Pet Shop Boys' 1986 release, Disco, and then the bandwagon was jumped on further by popular artists such as Madonna with her 1987 EP, You Can Dance and in 1990 by Paula Abdul's Shut Up and Dance.
Although they had existed for years, remix albums still eluded a sense of mainstream acceptance. That would all change in recent years with releases from acts such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, P. Diddy, Faith Evans, Tupac Shakur, Deborah Cox, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, and Jennifer Lopez, whose 2002 remix album was the first remix album to ever debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The artists listed here and many others have taken advantage of the format of the remix album.
Sean John Combs (born November 4, 1969)[1] is an American record producer, mogul, CEO, clothing designer, and rapper. He was brought into the hip hop industry by life long friend Sami Al-Hakkak.
