Two likely partners, Abelton and Soundcloud have come together to kick off a rather interesting spin on the usual remix competition.
Instead of utilising a single song from a single artist the thinkers at both innovative companies have grabbed sounds from artists M83, Junior Boys and Nosaj Thing.
What’s the hitch? Well once you have downloaded the ‘Live Pack’ you have exactly 24 hours to assemble, master, upload and submit. Our tip? Don’t reinvent the universe. Use what you have made before: previous experiments, older productions, interesting plugin effect chain, anything! Having a good workflow can, at last, do you some good.
Prizes include a trip to Berlin, Ableton Suite with free upgrades for life, five years of a SoundCloud Pro Plus account and more with the winners selected from the community and artists themselves.
Imagine the drums from Junior Boys, uplifting harmonies from M83 and ambient layers from Nosaj Thing!
