The Politik Remix Album + Artwork Competition

Bembe Segue and Mark de Clive-Lowe welcome you to The Politik Remix Album + Artwork Competition. We had a lot of fun making this album in London and Vancouver and now it's your chance to have a go at flipping it. We've uploaded remix parts for the entire album plus the original raw artwork.. share this link and info with everyone who might be interested!

This competition is open to anyone and everyone who'd like to have a go at remixing one (or more) songs from The Politik's debut album. The winning remixes will be compiled into the official remix album The Politik Remixed to be released on both physical and digital formats. The second part of the competition is an artwork remix competition for the cover art of the official release. Download the original artwork by Joshua Mays and have a go at reworking it in the spirit of the Remix.

it's a great range of remixes - over 160 at last count, and in a few weeks we'll be able to share the news on what the winning selection is.

thanks to everyone who took the time to get involved!

First up, I gotta say a big thank you to everyone for your continued, extended and benevolent patience. This project was intended to be a wrap a long time ago, but a whole number of things came into play with all of us judges which kept it on the backburner. Bembe and I totally appreciate the effort and creativity you all brought to the project and know how frustrating it can be to not hear anything for well... almost a year!

Secondly, and more importantly... we're announcing the winners this week! We (all the judges) have had a fun time checking out everyone's contributions, and it's nice to be able to draw it to conclusion. It hasn't been an easy process - there's been some good remixes that let themselves down in one area or another - usually as simple as getting the vocal really sitting in a groove or sitting in a key that works with it.

The winners will be announced later this week at http://remixthepolitik.blogspot.com and http://mashibeats.blogspot.com. The winners will also be contacted directly and explained what is required from them for their remix to be included on the winning release (file formats, etc).

For those who are not winners (and by the sheer volume of entries, that's a lot of you), that doesn't necessarily mean you did a bad job or there is anything wrong with your remix - it's a competition and we've had to choose the winners!

Thanks again for getting involved and we're looking forward to hearing more music from all of you with your own projects.

peace,

Hopefully you'll agree it's all worth the wait - we had so many great entries from all corners of the world, and it's been a tough process choosing the winners. Thanks to Afronaught (coopr8/Bugz in the Attic), Phil Asher (Phlash & Friends/restless soul) and Benji B (Deviation/1xtra) for joining us in the judging process.

Enough with the waiting tho... with five judges we've all ended with some different winners and runners up, and compiling the votes to give us the end result, we're happy to announce The Politik Remixed winners :

Winners (and runners up) expect to hear from us directly over the next 2 weeks with info on the next step...

Congratulations to the chosen remixers!

peace,
