A remix is an alternative version of a recorded song made from an original version. It can also be two songs, from two different genres mixed together in order to create a complete new one . If the result can give something amazing, it can also be a total failure. So what type of songs are we allowed to mix together?

Noah Berisin also known as XAPHOON JONES created the band CHIDDY BANG with his friend Chidera Anamege, or CHIDDY. The alternative hip hop duo from Philadelphia based their sound from the fusion of samples of different artists that aren't meant to go together.
After Radiohead and Kanye West, MGMT and Bob Marley, Xaphoon Jones decided to mix the great electro tune "Sleepyhead" by PASSION PIT and the famous "I want you back" by The Jackson 5.
The first time I heard the mixtape, I didn't know what to think. The two songs are completely different and I would never thought about putting them together.
Was Xaphoon Jones a genius? Or was he just mad for making such a mistake? The fact is that even if it should be forbidden to create such a remix, the result is catchy and will make you want to dance.
It seems like the ambition of the guy tends to make him look more like a genius than a fool.
