MAJOR LAZER - AEROSOL CAN FEAT PHARRELL REMIX CONTEST

Posted on | Minggu, 06 April 2014 | No Comments


CONTEST DETAILS

There’s no denying that Diplo (aka Wesley Pentz), the Grammy-nominated producer, remixer, Mad Decent head honcho, and Major Lazer's guiding force, is one of the hardest-working men in the music business. Through his unending curiosity and exploration of the world’s vast musical heritages in Jamaica, Africa, the US, and beyond, Diplo has a knack for seamlessly connecting the dots between the global underground and the commercial music mainstream. And, in connecting those dots, he’s racked up production credits for MIA, Santigold, Drake, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars, among many others. Now, Diplo’s set his sights on combining with Grammy-winning producer and Daft Punk collaborator Pharrell Williams. Ready to strike gold—and red and green—alongside Diplo, Pharrell, and the whole Major Lazer crew? No excuses. Fire up the studio and get crackin’ on recontextualizing Major Lazer featuring Pharrell’s freestyle hip-hop jam “Aerosol Can." Enter this Play contest by April 28 for your chance to win a Novation Impulse 49, a Novation Launchpad Mini and an official release on Major Lazer/Because Music.

Dank Wonder Child remix contest

Posted on | Senin, 25 November 2013 | No Comments

CONTEST UPDATE FROM DANK:

Hey Guys,

Sorry for confusion but we thought we had stems for original mix. Unfortunately the Wonder Child original project was destroyed after Hurricane Sandy in New York (along with most of my equipment). I wrote the LIRR melody on the train coming back from Boston (LIRR stands for Long Island Rail Road). This mix is one of my favorites, so we're offering the stems for the LIRR remix. Hope you enjoy, and I can't wait to hear your work!

DANK

As a DJ, producer, remixer, and label boss of his own Funky Element imprint for the past 15 years, New York City native Dank has been at the forefront of Stateside heavy bass culture since its inception. On his latest single, “Wonder Child,” he continues his tireless march toward dance music supremacy. Step right up. Now it’s your turn to remix Dank’s banger “Wonder Child” on Ultra Music. Enter our latest Play contest before December 16 for your chance to win a Reloop RMX-80 Digital club mixer and an official release on Ultra. Don’t just talk about it. Be about it. Make your mark.

Want to get released on one of the biggest labels in electronic music? All you have to do is win this contest. Craft a version of this that Dank will find worthy of the title "Grand Prize Winner," and you'll see your work released on Ultra in an exclusive remix package available on Beatport.
