SURFHUNTER EP AND REMIX CONTEST



With the release of the new "Surfhunter EP" (WHICH CAN BE DOWNLOADED FOR FREE HERE) also comes a neat remix contest. First download the remix tools (instrumentals, acapellas) here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1wuez1oov2g

1. CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL: BPM: 100
2. ENCHANTED ISLAND: BPM: 125
3. ORANGE GLOW: BPM: 103
All of the songs are in the key of Db Major.

WHAT: Spirit Spine's "SURFHUNTER EP" Remix Contest
WHY: Remixes are fun, duhhhhhhhh...
WHEN: Starting now (June 8th,2009) and it will end at 11:59PM June 22nd, 2009. (But if it's really good, rules may be bent, contorted, flexed, etc.)
HOW: Download the "SURFHUNTER REMIX TOOLS" .zip folder. It contains both instrumentals and acapellas of all of the songs on the EP. http://www.mediafire.com/?1wuez1oov2g
WHERE: Submit all remixes to: spiritspine@gmail.com

EXT. INFO: Do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want to these songs. Mix and match vocals with music (They're all in the same key.) Record your own vocals over it. Make up a new guitar or synth line. Use clips from movies/television/video games. Mash it up with The Pixies or throw a Tone-Loc beat over it. Make it techno. Fuzz it out. Go "Girl Talk" on it and mix all three songs with 200 other songs. Make some hard electro banger or create some ambient sleep music. I don't know. The more different it sounds from the original, the better it will probably be. Slice it. Cut it. Remix it.

PRIZES: Five (5) remixes will be selected. These winners will receive an actual physical copy of the EP that will include original, handmade artwork along with other little treats in the package. There will be no more than TEN (10) official, physical copies of the Surfhunter EP in existence. Own a piece of Spirit Spine history today!

SOME PSEUDO LEGAL STUFF: I will own no rights to anything you send me. Everything you send me will be yours and yours alone. I won't sell any of your remixes or try to pass any of your remixes off as my own. It is yours. HOWEVER, selected remixes (the winners, really peculiar ones, etc.) will be posted on the Spirit Spine Blog and be made available for download by all. If you would prefer your remix NOT be able to be downloaded, just mention it in your email/entry. Let's all just be cool about this. Cool? Cool.

  2. I just downloaded the Remix file and everything opened up just fine. The problem may have just been mediafire running slow or something like that.
