    You only get royalties for a mix/remix if you:
    a. are invited to make a remix by the track creators and they list you as an official remix
    b. you bought the rights from the rights owner to make an official remix and hence take a share on royalties if that mix is played

    these are the possibilities that come to mind, but it is late here and there may be some more options, but just doing a mix of something and then give out mp3s will gain you nothing (possibly fame).

    The only site with a mechanism for monetising DJ mixes that I know of is Beatport. One (significant) limitation is that you can only use tracks purchased on their site.

    I can’t imagine there’s much money to be made from selling mixes these days when even the most famous DJs give away mixes for free. I suspect only some sort of exclusivity or association to special event would make people spend money on a mix.

    It’s not like the good old days of mixtapes/mix CDs and no broadband!

    The Internet giveth and the Internet taketh away eh? 🙂
