maybe we can have more direction for the type of style/genre that your looking for in the remix?

ideally, the 3 selected mixes will as different as possible. unless we're totally blown away, we're not going to pick 2 house mixes or 2 jungle mixes etc... we're looking for variety. but we're open to any style of mix if it's good.

Hi, I just found out about this contest and I think it is a fantastic song! Question: at exactly what time on Friday is the cutoff for entries? Any chance I could have the weekend to give it the time and attention it deserves? Thanks!
Yours sincerely,
Kirby Allen

Hey Kirby,
I'm actually not sure how automatic the cut off is, since it's being run on the site, but if the site doesn't let you upload your remix, send it direct to me, and we'll count it with the others. I'm totally willing to fudge the deadline by a day or so!

The site is set up to allow uploads for 24 hours past GMT time to allow for any late entries in other time zones. So in Canada/USA you will have the whole of the 2nd to get your entry in. Hope that helps.

We have extended this contest for a couple of days to give people a chance to work a little longer on their remixes over the weekend. The contest now finishes at the end of the day on Sunday 4th.

Hi,

Winners have been announced and you can see the message written by the band here.

Hey thank you. It's appreciated. We were going to work more on that but the atmosphere in the verses just said DON'T.
So we didn't.

congrats to jpalomar and LiamgoodrumBell. Nice work from both of you.

By the way "crashtv" is alway in lower case, all one word. People are forever assuming they're correcting it rather than use what we the actual artist call ourselves. A capital C is okay - Crashtv.

Kinda disrespectful and now tiresome. No offence :)

Thank you for further observance of these very strict rules or you will become sacked. Not from any job, but put in a sack. Ensacked. Although that's as good as the traditional "sacked".

Sorry, that sounded all bossy. Be warned for the next remix :)

Just saying we in or Vinnie is gonna come see yas Nice studio you have. Shame if it was trashed...

No seriously are we allowed to try on the next remix (maybe in a similar style or summat else)?

I only ask because we were blocked from the current Meldy Klymin (names protected slightly) remix having won the previous one back in 1643 or something. You'd think you'd welcome ideas from someone tested or at least do it in private.

We'd prefer some adults in charge :)

No probs if you say no. But who says we're good twice? Certainly not us. Then again we ARE looking for a royalty-home as remixers.
Either way, we're nice utterly fair people and respect any decision.

Thanks again for picking crashtv as a threesome winner. We are most flattered. Thank you. Do you need a raw aif to master it correctly or is our shoddy mastering okay?

No throw it at the clubs... I'm sure it'll work as warm up at least.

(we are not DJs so have no idea).

oblig:

50 remixes at our site all free if you know how.

Some won, most failed. None are marked either way.

All are our proud children.

Well, most are proud children.

A few are just rubbish bollocks.

Arranged by chronological (date).

haha sorry about the capitalization. what kind of sack? if it's like a pillowcase, i'd probably be ok with it. and yeah yeah please do enter the next one. we don't care if you've won before. we just want to hear what people can come up with! we're setting it up tonight should be live pending upload speeds by morning.

Hey, does anyone know where exactly the song needs to be sent? And also if there will be any mastering done at the other end?
Thanks!
