remix desu is a marketplace for remixing music. Grab stems from any song, build something new, and publish it — and everyone whose work fed into the result gets paid automatically when it sells.
Every sale splits the same way:
Platform commission — 10%. remix desu keeps a flat 10% of every sale to run the marketplace, storage, and payouts. The remaining 90% is distributed to creators.
Predecessor royalties — default 5%, set per song by the uploader. Every earlier artist in a remix's lineage earns a royalty on every downstream sale. Remix a remix, and a portion of each sale flows back as royalties to each artist from the original up to the direct parent.
Scout fee — 5%. Whoever invited an original artist earns 5% of every sale that descends from that artist's work — a thank-you for bringing new music onto the platform.
The seller keeps the rest. After the platform fee, royalties, and any scout fee, the residual goes to whoever made the sale. A direct sale of your own song pays you that residual; when someone else remixes and sells your work, you earn instead as a predecessor via your royalty. Payouts land directly in your connected Stripe account.
Here's a $10 remix sale built on two parent songs:
Note: the buyer covers the payment-processing fee — in this case $0.59 (Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30) — so the full sticker price flows to the people who made the music.
You can start remixing without signing up. Creating an account and redeeming an invite code each unlock more — here's what you get at every level.
Anonymous. Browse the catalog, preview anything, and remix free stems right in the palette. Your work lives only in the current session.
Create an account (free). Now your remix projects save, you can buy stems to keep, and you can publish your own remixes — and earn money when they sell. This is why it's worth signing up.
Scouter. Find original artists who want their music sold and remixed. Your invite code unlocks uploading original songs for them, and 5% of all sales from their songs and downstream remixes goes to you — similar to Artists and Repertoire (A&R) at a record label.
