Remix Contests

Recommended Posts

IN the past 6 or 7 years, I've seen remix contests from Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and a couple other big name artists, but by and large the record labels never really seemed to embrace the idea of putting their tracks out for remixing. I remember there was a site that was wrorking with the labels to try to distribute (for sale) stems for remxing - kind of like an itunes for remix stems but it seems they were unsuccessful as the site went down a few years ago.

 

I'm guessing it has to do with the publishing and royalty issues, which would be complicated, but I am curious why more top artists (or their labels) haven't embraced fan remixing.

Hey pal, check out Indaba music. These guys are working quite closely with major labes/artists, and not-so-major-but-musically-interesting artists. There you´ll find anything from Sarah Vaughn´s Jazz Contest to Linkin Park. Beatport also offers remix comps on a regular basis.

Cheers
