Yes, go take a look at Dubset and their Mixbank approach - it's advertised as a way for DJs / remix producers / mixtape creators to get their versions approved and out into the wild and both parties (original and derivative version) are compensated according to some deals hammered out. It looks like progress is coming in this arena - SoundCloud probably has a lot of those deals in place now (they're claiming the days of pulling DJ mixes are over, I think) so that avenue might be, well, back.

Soundcloud currently denies, but there are huge rumors that they are about to crack down a lot of DJ mixes again.

I have switched to Mixcloud for all my mixes, but not ideal because their streaming can be flaky and you can't scroll back in time.

Interesting, I saw some mention of that via Billboard I think. Agreed that MixCloud has its hiccups and drawbacks but at least trying to be in the space 'n nice 'n tidy 'n legal. Plus me like free.
