\nThis summer I held my first remix contest. I had written this track with friend and label-mate Benjamin Briggs<\/a> and had it mastered by producer\/DJ 23 from Monstercat Media<\/a>. Needless to say, I considered it a successful collab, I DJ’d the track at shows and it sounded great and got people moving, but in the collaboration process I had to sacrifice some ideas I had for the sake if the project as a whole. Riffs and melodic ideas that didn’t fit once there was another cook in the kitchen. What Ben and 23 came up with was so awesome and so far beyond what I had imagined myself, I decided to open up the track for a public remix contest. I wanted to hear what the track would become if even more people got involved.<\/p>\n

Two friends of mine had started a freelance audio website AudioCatch<\/a> earlier in the year and I participated as a beta tester. When they caught wind that I wanted to hold a remix contest, they were quick to help. They offered a sponsorship that funded our Grand Prize, as well as provided a platform for submitting, reviewing and judging entries.<\/p>\n

The winning remix was by Upstate New York DJ\/Producer Direktor<\/a>, who I had coincidently met at my show with Excision<\/a> this summer. Direktor transposed the tune and transformed it into a formidable dubstep track, loud and brilliant. But there were so many other entries that were top notch, I couldn’t stop there.<\/p>\n

With Ben’s help, we picked out the best 6 remixes and put together this album, Powerglove: THE REMIXES<\/a><\/strong>. I even took some time and recreated what my “original” version of the song may have sounded like, and included it as a VIP mix for those who choose to pay for the album.<\/p>\n

Powerglove was based very loosely off the opening riff from the Nintendo game MIG29: Soviet Fighter<\/a>. GameChops is my record label for video game music, combining music production and a passion for gaming. All purchases go directly to supporting the artists and funding new music, so please purchase Powerglove: THE REMIXES<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0if you can.<\/p>\n
