--> HEAR YE HEAR YE... A CONTEST ARISES

The contest is for you, my fellow electronic music makers.

Apothecary Passageway, the new "single" off of Plantastic Joyage, needs remix action. Who's interested?

If you still haven't gotten into "PJ" now's the time. It recently got 5 stars directly from CD Baby themselves and is currently (as of the 7th, 8th and 9th of August), featured on the front page of the the CD Baby site.

Anyway, if you own it, great. If not, you can buy it, but if you want to get in on the remix fun, just dive in to the contest, follow the four steps below:

Simply
1)
Download the .zip file containing audio stems of "Apothecary Passageway" by clicking HERE. (The mono tracks have been panned to the center and a few FX have been toggled off so you can insert your own FX combinations.)
2)
Remix the pants off "Apothecary Passageway." Radical reinterpretations welcome.
3)
Send an email to *cosmod_at_cosmod.net* with the subject “APOTHECARY REMIX CONTEST” and in the body of the email, put a link to your remix .mp3. Minimum 128 kbs quality.
4) important!
In addition to the remixed mp3, I would like you to include a little blurb on what it was like to remix the track. It can be brief, but I'm very curious about how your creative process plays off mine. If you don't include this blurb, you won't be considered for the prizes. In-depth blurbs will get bonus points in the overall contest.

PRIZES

(1st Place)

A $25 Dollar Gift Certificate to IKEA. No joke.
A crazy original drawing just for you.
3 Free Cosmo D T-shirts from the Cosmo D Store. You pick the ones you'd like.
2 Free Copies of Plantastic Joyage

2 Free Cosmo D T-shirts from the Cosmo D Store. You pick the ones you'd like.
1 Free Copy of Plantastic Joyage
A crazy original drawing just for you.

(3rd Place)
A crazy original drawing just for you.
A delicious chocolate bar.

The top three winners will have their tracks played on my Boogie Otis Podcast.

DEADLINE September 9th (one month from now)

Who determines the prizewinners? Myself and several of my music-making colleagues. They will introduce themselves as the time arises. We will listen to the remixes blindfold-style and vote via an anonymous, encrypted and highly democratic online voting procedure. ALL SUBMITTED REMIXES WILL BE POSTED on my homepage cosmod.net and, subsequently, em411. Whether you would like me to stream them, post them for download them or not post them at all is entirely up to you, so notify me in your email what you would like me to do with your track once the contest is over.

You know what to do... good luck!

EXCELLENT TRACK !!! i definitely want to work on this one !!! however, i downloaded the audio stems and when opening up the zip file, it was all in mp3 format, and not as 24-bit wave files as mentioned above.
