Remix is a Latvian music group that was founded in 1985.
Career
[edit]It was formed by musician Aivars Hermanis, at the suggestion of the chief music editor of Latvian Radio, Raimonds Pauls, who brought together well-known musicians from various groups such as Opus, Līvi, Liepāja Quartet, and Modo to create a studio recording unit at Latvian Radio. Initially, the plan was for Remix to work in the studio, recording accompaniments to songs by various authors. Still, the group also started performing at concerts, playing instrumental jazz rock and songs in the style of pop rock sung by Igo.[citation needed]
After their initial formation, Remix continued to perform and in the fall of 1988, they parted ways with Yevgenii Shchapov, who was then replaced by Eduards Glotovs. The group became an active concert band and mainly worked outside of Latvia, frequently performing in Norway, Poland, Germany, Finland, Sweden, and especially in Russia and other Soviet Union republics. In 1988, the group won the "Mikrofona aptauja" with the song "...pie Laika".[citation needed]
In 1989, producers from the USA selected Remix to offer new songs to the American audience. This led to the formation of a new band called "Riga", which saw a change in its lineup, including the involvement of Ainārs Virga ("Līvi") and the replacement of Igo by "Opus Pro" vocalist Alex. However, the band disbanded in 1993 without releasing their debut album, which was only released in Latvia in 2015.[citation needed]
In recent decades, Remix has come together for some exclusive performances. In November 2015, the band went on a 30th-anniversary tour, performing with the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra in newly built concert halls in Rēzekne, Cēsa, Liepaja, and the Daile Theater in Riga.[citation needed]
On November 9, 2015, the book "Remix...pie Laika" by Maris Papedis was published.[citation needed]
