Fellow managers, been ages since I've posted but I'm still here!
So basically, some of you know that I used to remix music from big name artists i.e Tinie Tempah, Eminem etc, and I got good feedback on my mixes but stopped because the software I was using annoyed me so much, aswell as me being so busy with my GCSEs. Well I've decided I'm going to start remixing again, but take a different approach, I'm going to make some calm(ish) dubs and dubsteps from quite peaceful songs, I think those kind of dubsteps and remixes sound amazing, see the likes of this for an example of how I want my work to turn out:

I'm hoping to remix a load of songs, such as Mad World, Mazzy Star's Into Dust etc. HOWEVER. You'll notice these are popular songs, and are copyright covered. I was hoping to make a new channel for my remixs and hopefully get it partnered around youtube, and get advertisement and make some money from youtube itself, as I know I could pull in a load of views, as I only made say, 4 songs on my old channel, and had close to 80,000 views, which is quite considerable in my opinion. So just a quick question, do any of you know how I should approach getting a copyright license or permission from record lables that own Gary Jules' - Mad World etc, so I could still get money from my remixes? Or should I just remix as a hobby and not have to worry about copyright?
Let me know your thoughts please guys, I'm very interested in using youtube as my primary job!
Thanks,
Kylo.
