Simply put, music can be magical. It has the power to evoke different kinds of emotions in humans and sometimes transports us to a different time altogether. In recent times, old hit tracks have been remade/remixed for new movies in a bid to probably evoke nostalgia. Audiences and musicians have been debating on the topic of remixes with the rise in number of tracks being remade. On the account of World Music Day, we take a look at what singer and composer Sheykhar Ravjiani had to say about the culture of remixes. 

Talking to mid-day.com a while ago, Ravjiani had expressed his thoughts on the remix culture. “I`ve seen times when remixes have come and done magic. For example, Dance Masti. It was done by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. It had ‘Dil Kya Kare’ and sung by Shaan. It also had some amazing versions of the original songs. So I know what great versions sound like. Then there are remixes of songs which I wonder why they were remixed. Because they drop the quality of the way the original was. I always feel that you don`t need to remix a certain song. Because let the original be the way it is.  But then when there are great energies and love for the song, then the result is always something special."
