| quote: | The list of producers to have remixed Bloc Party is pretty impressive, with The Streets, Phones, Ladytron, Death From Above 1979 and Four Tet all having had a go over the UK indie band’s career to date. How’d you like to see your name added to the list? Read on!
So far in 2007 triplejunearthed.com have given a platform for singer-songwriters, rock, punk and hardcore artists to have their music heard, and now it’s time for the nation’s underground dance producers to get a go in the spotlight. And with Bloc Party offering up the parts to their track ‘The Prayer’, chances are you’ve never quite had an opportunity this good before.
The remix parts are available now for download from triplejunearthed.com now, and if your rework of ‘The Prayer’ impresses the band most you and a friend will be invited to attend one of their shows this August, and taken backstage to have a chinwag about your remix. You’ll also get yourself a signed block mounted poster.
Entries are open until midnight on Sunday July 8th, and the winner will be announced on July 20th. Get cracking! |
This is pretty cool-- they provide the parts of the song for you to mix on the tripple J website, and then you just go hog-wild... sounds like fun IMO, might give it a go-- wonder what mike could do with this...?? hehe

Spent the whole course remixing bloc party songs... Still passed at an average level tho, suprisingly... I guess because there was only 1 question on the multiple-choice exam, at end of year:
"how do you start a thread title"
1: with a capitol letter?
2: not with a capitol letter?
was pretty hard, but i got it in the second hour...

Bloc Party are over.
First album had some awesome singles, but didnt quite have the substance to make it a great album. I was fully expecting them to mature on the 2nd album, but they went the way of Muse. Overproduced, trying way too hard to be bigger than they are. If they come to thier senses they might find that awesome energy they brought us in the form of Silent Alarm.
And this isn't a case of "oh they are popular, lets not like them" as they were probably BIGGER before they released the second album. Well to my knowledge anyhow.
And Arctic Monkeys... average band, don't like em or dislike em - way overrated though. |

| I still like them a lot, there was the Phones Disco edit of Banquet which is one of my favourite Bloc Party remixes. |
