In order to create a remix version of your favorite song without getting sued by the record company, you will need to have authorization from the copyright owners. The best way to do this is by obtaining a mechanical license from an entity like Music Reports, Inc. (MRI) or a performing rights organization such as ASCAP, BMI or SESAC. This license allows you to legally use the original song and your remixed version of it in musical compositions that you submit for commercial distribution.

You can create a remix version of the song without infringing on any copyright laws by using loopable materials from the original song, such as drum breaks or riffs. Additionally, you could obtain permission from the original artist to use their work or ask for feedback on how you can make your own version while staying within guidelines. Finally, if you want to be sure that nothing is violated, there are several free music licenses available which allow for certain uses and modify these to your particular needs.
