Deadline: February 2nd, 2008
Track name: any track by any N.O.B.S. artist
Original genre: Breakcore/Drum’n'Bass/Jungle

Prizes: N.O.B.S say: “Prizes are currently being sorted out and situated, but I’ve heard rumors of free graphic design services, free records, free CDs, all the way up to a free small run of CDs.”

Other: The N.O.B.S. is the “Northern Ontario Breakcore Squad”, a collective of producers. Apparently there are no seperate stems available for this contest and the remixers are meant to download any original track from the N.O.B.S. site and rework it by splicing them into samples, rearranging and adding in their own stuff. The entries will be made available for free download and the winners will be selected by the public.

Prizes: No prizes but you can sell your remix if you make one! (Read conditions below)

Other: DJing remix packages, operated by NeoMusicStore, is a new service that aims to make tracks available as multitrack master audio files, to let every DJ or producer be able to remix them the way they want with their favorite software as all packages are delivered as RAW Wave files. While you have to pay 9.99 € for the remix package you are allowed to sell your remix on DJing.com and NeoMusicStore but also on your MySpace, blog, website or any other web page through widgets. You are also free to play it in public. Corvaisier has an interesting article about the business concept behind this. For some inspiration visit Da Fresh’s website and his myspace.

Thx to Sylvain for sending in the contest link!
