Louisden Homework 89 - Sonnyjim Remix Competition (due sept 4th)
To celebrate the release of the album we've managed to prize an acapella off the project to let you guys give the remix treatment to. The original track "The Headsplit" is produced by Illmind and similar to our "Trading Standards Remixes" homework from a while back the best remix (picked by Sonnyjim in the stream) will get released via EATGOOD on an upcoming project, not bad eh?
If youd like to get busy with a remix then download the remix kit, included is the Acapella and a snippet of the original track so you can hear how the vocals are supposed to fit.
The track itself is 91.99 BPM, remember if you are new to remixing then do your homework with lining the vocals up!! the goal of a remix is to make your beat fit the vocals rather than the other way round; we'd only expect you to mess with the vox themselves if you are gonna draw from some dub/glitch influences but essensially if it's a straight up blap then get the BPM right!!
Good luck and we'll see you in the stream
