The DJ has also done a number of interesting remixes and, in fact, a remix contest on Beatport is where he started making a name for himself. In an interview with Radio.com, he broke down the art of making the best possible remix.

"It is different every time. A lot of people try to make [a song] sound better," Zedd said. "A lot of people, I don't know, try to make it a radio hit when they remix. For me it's always been important, if I do a remix, it has to sound like me. If you play it to someone who knows the original, he has to be able to say, 'It's a Zedd remix.'

"However your want to get there, that's the one thing I can tell people. If you're doing a remix, just try to make it your interpretation of the song."

He considers aping the successful techniques of other remixes to be boring and, even more surprisingly, doesn't let the person the song belongs to have any input into his remix.
