I don't think theres an absolute to something being a VIP remix,
But I generally think of it as a remix that was originally created
For one performance or for one artist to play, rather than wide release.
For example the DJ SS Black VIP has samples directly referring to SS
in the track. It was never pressed for wide release, just on his
own dubplates.
That's not a general rule, but just an example. Obviously some mixes
Dubbed "vip" do end up with a wide release, and I suspect some are just
Called vip's just because it sounded cool.

So... what exactly is the significance of a VIP remix? I see them all
over the place but where does the name come from, and are they
supposed to serve a specific function. It would seem that they're
usually extended (and if it applies) instrumental versions of the
original track, but I'm sure I'm just generalizing.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
Later,
