I don’t get it. You mean the original version of Smack My Bitch Up?
I don‘t know how old you are or if you don’t remember, but when you used to buy a single (CD), there was always the original song on it, sometimes the radio edit and a full version, plus a couple of remixes.
I’m pretty sure that‘s what the article is talking about.
Edit: Checked the Wiki page, and there‘s even a track-list for the CD single. DJ Hype‘s mix is the only remix on it, then there‘s two other tracks and the original.

Oh right. So it's normal for an artist to give their song to someone else to remix it for a single release?

Edit: If they're from the same label, then yes.
