more so adding a full drum track, sampling sections and such.. it to me becomes either a remix, or a new jam.
im just defining this based on real remixes of the past and of course house and hip hop....
ive said this before....
we/ people dont call dj sneak or armand van helden, todd terry, maw, etc etc.. records where they sample/loop up a 2/4 bar sections...filters and drop a drum track over it...edits. they are referred to as straight up jams.
by todays standards and this blurred definition, the bucketheads "bomb" would be a great example. thats not an edit..sorry.
this term is thrown around constantly with other current tracks using the same techniques.
trusme being a currant example.
for hip hop, it would be anything under the umbrella of a sample with a drum track. this definition is just wrong, and would reclassify everything that has already exists.
i think its important to define whats what.
totally agree on all that. i've heard a lot of people call trusme's tracks edits and that's crazy talk, those are full tracks. i blame the brits, i think they started the umbrella "edit" moniker for all tracks based on disco tunes these days...
and thanks re: tavares, i agree about the track, it's half deep boogie-ish disco and half philly sound. there's a wav dl on my soundcloud if you wanna grab it for your sets.
