There are a lot of remixers out there who may not be classed as artistically skilled but that is taring everyone with the same brush. Once again it comes down to actually getting out there and searching for music that is relevant. take these two tracks. The original (which I don't much care for TBH) and a remix version by my favourite remixers Kruder & Dorfmeister. I would certainly say that they are artistically skilled.
