Plastikman (Richie Hawtin) REMIX competition

I thought the Hernan & Lawler TOTA remix threads were a huge success... let's do another one! The original + parts to this are fucking sick... I bet a lot of the entry's will be insanely creative, let's see what some of TA's best can do...

We're teaming up with Burn Studios to help you grab a spot on the biggest compilation of 2011.

Richie Hawtin is one of electronic music's recognizable figures, and his Plastikman alias is responsible for some of techno's most indelible moments. With the upcoming release of his career-spanning Arkives box set, we figured we needed to do something a little bit special to celebrate. That's why RA has teamed up with Burn Studios to offer up one of our biggest competitions ever.

We're offering one lucky producer the chance to get their work onto the digital release of Arkives, by remixing "Ask Yourself." And, as if that weren't enough, you'll also win a 2,500 euro voucher for Avid.com's web shop and a pro SoundCloud account. Five runners-up will also receive a number of prizes as well.

I say do something super weird.

I think it would be an insult to a masterpiece to just fuck around with this. Besides, shouldn't all production be taken seriously?

heh, a label mate did a remix, over 4000 views, i think its one of the best made remixes, its not exactly a club stormer, just a chill-out feel good track, i think would be great for radio.

Cassius - the sound of violence (M&D Substance remix) by M&D Substance

he got no where close i believe, i dont think even a mention, but i still think its one of the best ones. ^^

to be honest remix competitions are a waste of time..

how so? because they provide fun and production exercise? im pretty sure most dont care about winning.

you raise a good point, hope you checked out some other remixes to actually verify my claim. ofcourse music is subjective and it all depends on whos judging and what theyre personally looking for. i still dont think its a waste of time because of the points i made; im sure you agree and are not narrow-minded.

4000 plays is far from a waste of time...unless 3500 of them are your own lol

i do agree, it's a good exercise but i think i would rather work on something that may potentially see the light of day. out of all of those remixes only a small batch gets looked at unless you bombard your friends to vote for you, for me to spend hours-days on something that may not even be looked at seems somewhat pointless.

the reason i've done a hernan remix was because there was no voting system which i really liked and i didn't have to buy the parts as well.

you mean, that would return money to you on beatport/juno/etc via release?

like NuEra said, 4000's view is huge, and REALLY respectable imo. plus around 2000 more youtube video views, thats really the essence of making music, so that it gets heard and people being on the same page in terms of getting into the track. i believe he accomplished that, and I havent spoken to him about, but im sure he can always give it out for free to his fans. Its not always about the money and securing a release, actually these days its not at all, of course exceptions here, there are tons of people making good coin. i see your point, and we live in an very imperfect world

agreed, even 500 views is far from a waste of time imo

i'm at work and you took my words out of context lol

i said "for me to spend hours-days on something that may not even be looked at seems somewhat pointless"
i'm not just saying that, i have participated in 3-4 competitions, most times my remix got played maybe 10 times at most because it got buried beneath 450 other releases.

i won't but if you want something helpful i recommend visiting Production Studio and Music Producers Promotion forums like msz does.

I do that too guy!

I think these contests are great for up and coming producers to not only have highly respected DJs listen to their abilities but also a way to learn from other producers.


























see I can be positive.....sometimes

omg you noticed? <3 <3 <3 wait, doesn't that mean you go there too?

yes i noticed, i visit them as well i just rarely post.

well i havent learned anything in a long long time in the production studio, its really fun going there because it is relevant to my interests lol. music promo is fun if you have time to comment on others peoples work as well as your own. those people who just drive-by it there, get no replies. its a good resource for sure, but the only one thats going to make the decision of this sounds good? is yourself ultimately(and the label!).
