Remix credit multiplicity

I’ve stumbled onto some remix credit confusion here: Release “American Porn Songs // Remixed” by 16volt - Cover art - MusicBrainz

If you look at the detailed track list, remix credits are given as Artist AND Individual Name(s). And in some cases there’s more than one artist in MB even for the individuals.

Take the first track: the remix is credited to OHN, and then specifies Billdeaux Sarver by name. Which of these artists would you credit on the recording: OHN, Bildeaux, or Bill Sarver? And how would you enter the Credited As?

IMO, Bill Sarver and Bildeaux could be merged and you could use artist credit.
They have almost no relationships.

OHN is apparently on the back cover tracklist but the individual is only in the booklet.
Add you want but you could just credit OHN as the track artist and the individual as relationship with AC.

I’d credit the remixers as they’re listed on the back cover (OHN, Cyanotic, Skold, etc.), using entities with those names. Even in the booklet (1, 2), the remixer performance names are bolded, while the legal names are unbolded – I view this as just being additional information similar to the remixer website URLs.

I might enter the track titles as displayed on the packaging as well (“Akali: Mirror”, “Somebody to Hate: Hate Hegal”, etc.). Looking at edit #12659286 from 2010, it sounds like current titles might’ve come from the label’s website, but the snapshots that I looked at (like this one) don’t use “(X remix)” either. But then I looked at the open edits and saw that you’re already fixing that, so I gave you some yes votes. :slight_smile:

Sticking with the main track list makes sense. Thanks for the votes!
