Template:Infobox album

Living Things Remixes is a watermarked CD of Linkin Park rough demos for Recharged. All tracks on this promo CD are unmixed and not mastered. The disc was obtained by LPCatalog in 2015 but its content can't be released to the public due to an agreement between the fan site and the person whose name is on the CD.

Background

With the release of Living Things in 2012, Linkin Park launched a remix subscription program caled "Living Things Remixed". Fans who pre-ordered the album from the official Linkin Park store would receive one new remix per month for 8 months starting June with "Burn It Down (RAC Remix)" and ending abruptly in December 2012 with "Powerless (Enferno Remix)" after only 6 months.[1][2][3] Among the remixes scheduled for release were the remixes of "Lost In The Echo" by The Dual Personality and Elle Vozza who were, respectively, the Grand Prize Winner and Popular Vote Winner of Indaba Music's remix contest, but they never received an official release.[4][5]

Writing and Recording

Chester said, "I think any of our songs lend themselves well to being remixed; I think it just comes down to being inspired to do it. There were some moments on the last record, where we kind of felt like we had come full circle," he explained. "We've established this identity of being a genre-less band, and so we figured we could take that even a bit further. We decided to let other artists come in and see where their vibe comes from ... and once we started working with artists like Steve Aoki and some of these EDM guys, it felt like a natural progression."[6]

Composition

Like Recharged, this disc doesn't present any remixes of "In My Remains" either. Mike Shinoda confirmed the band received a remix of the song, but didn't like it enough to release. "We actually didn't get a great remix of the song. We liked all these remixes a lot more...maybe that means we got it right on the original of IN MY REMAINS? HA"[7]
