remix
'Remix' and 'Medley' both belong to music and change familiar material. A 'Remix' is a new version of one specific song. For example, the rhythm, sound, or structure is changed. A 'Medley' consists of short parts of several songs that are combined into a new piece. Learners may confuse the words because neither is simply a normal original piece. Memory tip: a 'Remix' turns one song into a new version; a 'Medley' connects several songs.
