When most people want to find a reworking of their favorite songs, they usually turn to platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube. The fact almost anyone can upload a track to those services has allowed songs like ‘Plastic Love’ and ‘Dead to Me’ to find entirely new audiences thanks to dedicated fans who took the time to tweak those songs. You don’t think of a service like Spotify as a place for bootlegs, but for a short time, it was possible to find some of the more popular fan-made remixes on the service. Some crafty people found a workaround that allowed them to upload their favorite remixes to the platform’s podcast section. Using terms like “chopped” and “screwed,” it was apparently easy to find those tracks.
