Morphology

remix = mix (semi-transparent) = re + mix

The relation to 'mix' is clear, but the established creative sense 'make a new version of a track or work' is more specialized than simply 'mix again'.

Etymology

Remix as a verb comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and mix meaning 'to combine'. To remix something is to mix it again or change its parts to create a fresh, new version.
