Unless you’ve been hidden under a rock this week, you’ll be aware of one the biggest stories to hit electronic dance music: Burn Studios’ ambassador Plastikman – aka Richie Hawtin – is inviting music creators to remix his work unlike ever before.
The track up for remix is ‘Ask Yourself’, an ambient and minimal release that appeared on Plastikman’s album, ‘Closer’, and features in his new Plastikman 2010 live show.
From www.residentadvisor.net and www.burn-studios.com you can download the remix parts; create an original sounding piece of work, and upload back to the site.
The winning remix will incredibly appear as a digital release on the highly anticipated ‘Plastikman Arkives’ – a made-to-order box set that pulls together all 17 years of the Plastikman story so far, released on Hawtin’s iconic Minus label. It’ll feature a whole barrage of remastered albums, a new DVD; CDs of rare, unreleased, and exclusive material plus lots more. Each remix submitted will be listened to by Hawtin.
From leading audio and visual technology leader and fellow Poker client Avid (the company behind M-Audio and Pro Tools) the competition winner will receive an exclusive Avid Gift Voucher worth €2,500.
www.soundcloud.com is also partnering with Burn Studios for this competition presenting the winner with an annual Soundcloud Pro account worth €250.
Five runners up will each receive an M-Audio Torq MixLab DJ kit, an Avid Recording Studio package and a Souncloud Lite account.
