- Sorry, not quite right. The original concept of "The Remix" was
- developed by a New York D.J., Tom Molton, who was also the inventor of
- the "break". He was hired by Mel Cheron, who later founded "The
- Paradise Garage," a legendary disco club, to remix records which his
- company was producing. Tom noticed that the music did not flow
- properly and so in his home studio (circa 1973) he broke the tracks
- down and rebuilt them => the invention of the break. Both Tom and Mel
- also came up with the idea of putting these remixes on 12" vinyl
- because the greater space between the grooves permitted better sound
- quality.
