You should do a remix but please do different songs and not the same song that other remixer keep remixin just my opinion
What every you want would be fine remix or original. I agree with Freedom4me, use the top songs and short segments of other songs. The key to me is the mixing / cutting, do it different than all the other same mix cd, That will make you stand out.
Anyone these days could be a DJ just add couple song together and that’s it people think it so much work
Depends on the crowd you want to play for, I find that with the older folks they would rather the originals while the younger rum drinkers would prefer the remix.
You do what your heart says. As the guy says the rum drinkers will dance to anything. There is always a taste for everything beat , no beat , vocal ,no vocal. But let your talent shine. Please keep me in touch with your end product.
