Is it ever acceptable to remix a classic?

But, having said all that, if you are going to remix a classic, make sure it's credible, make sure it doesn't take too much away from the original and make sure that it doesn't add in anything that tarnishes something loved by so many. Of course it's a fine line and when you're dancing away, a cheeky remix might work but 90 per cent of the time, it feels unwelcome and unattractive to say the least.

Play 'Blue Monday'.

Play 'Born Slippy'.

Play 'Everything In Its Right Place'.

And so on... Play the classics and play them with pride.
