Can I Release Remixes or DJ Mixes with DistroVibe?

How to credit and release remixes of your own or other artists' songs, what clearance you need, and Content ID rules for remixes.

You can release remixes or DJ mixes only if all underlying recordings, stems and compositions are legally cleared. For other people's music you need explicit written permission or a remix agreement from the copyright holders. A mechanical cover licence does not give permission to release a remix.

You are always free to release remixes of your own original tracks.

How to set up your remix

1. Remix of your own track (produced by you)

  • Keep yourself as the Primary Artist.
  • You do not need to add yourself again with the Remixer role.
  • Enter the remix name (for example VIP Mix, Club Mix or Acoustic Remix) in the track's Version field in the Track Details step.

2. Remix of your track by another producer

  • Keep yourself as the Primary Artist.
  • In the Track Details step, add the producer as a contributor with the Remixer role.
  • Enter the version in the Version field (for example [Producer Name] Remix).
  • Keep the remix agreement ready in case our review team asks for it.

3. Official remix of another artist's song

  • Make sure you have a signed remix contract or written clearance from the original artist, label or publisher.
  • Credit the artists as agreed in your remix contract, and add yourself (or your collaborator) as a contributor with the Remixer role.
  • Enter the remix name in the Version field (for example [Your Name] Remix).
  • If our review team needs proof, your release status changes to Needs Docs. Upload the clearance in the release's Documents tab.

Content ID and Meta Rights Manager: These services require 100% ownership of the master and publishing. Remixes of other artists' songs, bootlegs, mashups, DJ mixes and uncleared remixes are not eligible. Turn them off in the Additional Delivery section of the release wizard.
