The website Remix Studies – Researching the Creative Strategy of Reusing Found Material is a study and resource project adjacent to a doctoral dissertation titled Authorship in Remix Culture: The Creative Reuse of Found Material in Twenty-First Century Revisits of Popular Plots, completed in March 2022 by Stefan D. Stefanov, sometimes writing under the aliases Cheeseus or Dalai Lamia. Stefan's DJing alias is Sir Dancealot.

The author is Lecturer in Specialised Translation, CAT Tools, and Subtitling at the St Cyril and St Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo – Bulgaria and has been teaching since 2005. Stefan Stefanov is also a practising translator working for a number of business clients and translation agencies around the world. Translation, just like teaching, is not merely a means of sustenance; rather, it is a life-long fascination with languages and meaning, life, the universe and everything else.

Stefan's interest in music is probably as old as he is but he has consciously regarded himself an enchanted fan of electronic music since the age of 12, when in a January afternoon of 1990, just as classes had finished, his friend Kiril asked him if he wanted to listen to "this really cool tape" his cousin had just brought him from the Netherlands. The tape contained a house music mix of a dozen songs, including the sample-heavy Jack to the Sound of the Underground by Hithouse.

His curiosity about remix as a phenomenon dominating the current cultural practices locally and globally streams from his own experience of discovering a host of dated brilliant artworks through their remix versions circulating in the cultural landscape of the day. Add a spoonful of school-days interest in History and representations, particularly in fiction works by writers such as Karl May, Emilio Salgari, Mein Rid, Jules Verne, Daniel Defoe, etc., pour a fair amount of science fiction, a pinch or two of Postmodern disbelief in officially sanctioned versions, mix with natural inquisitiveness and you get Stefan's desire to pursuit an academic career exploring (English-language) culture and the mechanisms behind the curtains.

On this website you will find a part of the Remix Culture paradigm description.This includes a typology of remix, which is an expansion of the one proposed by Eduardo Navas, various articles or posts discussing different types of remix, and some of the articles Stefan has written on remix.
