'king receives note pertaining to reshuffle' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'king receives note' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'rex' ('king' in Latin).
'receives' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are received).
'note' becomes 'mi' (as in 'do re mi').
'rex' going around 'mi' is 'REMIX'.

Can you help me to learn more?
