'plays some music' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'record isn't a remix' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'enter' (enter can mean to enter into a record).
'remix' indicates anagramming the letters (letters mixed up).
'isnt'+'a'='isnta'
'isnta' anagrammed gives 'tains'.
'enter'+'tains'='ENTERTAINS'

'say' acts as a link.
