For the original artists: Edits and remixes can bring the music of the original artists to new audiences who may not have heard their songs before. This can increase their fan base and potentially boost sales of their original music.
For the creators of the edits: They can gain visibility and build their reputation as producers and DJs. By offering their edits for free, they can attract more listeners and followers.
For music labels: Edits and remixes can provide fresh opportunities to revitalize and extend the life cycle of existing tracks.
