Irish electro-pop band Empire State Human
Do you fancy your chances as a top remixer?
In collaboration with Irish electro-pop band Empire State Human and their label Ninthwave Records, the Laptoprockers website has set up a competition to remix the track ‘Melancholic Afro’.
The track features vocals and beats supplied by original Kraftwerk member, Wolfgang Flür.
Lead singer of the band, Aidan Casserly, explains, “Wolfgang Flür created the backbeats and some catchy vocal lines for the track. Other than that it has a Prodigy as well as a T-Rex feel.”
Empire State Human are the first Irish group t work with a former Kraftwerk member. “We still can’t believe our luck, and are curious what remixers will come up with. We’re looking for exciting and unique entries which will expand the original track into another music direction and level,” said Casserly.
The prize pool for this contest is filled with some top notch plug-ins supplied by Izotope, makers of the highly acclaimed ‘Ozone’ mastering plug-in.
Laptoprockers is a webzine about music and related technology, featuring daily news and interviews – with a strong focus towards remixing. This is the second time Laptoprockers organizes a remix contest. “Go on with the right track, good luck with it,” comments Wolfgang Flür in a reaction on the website.
Entries are welcome till the end of February.
