Out today on Mahaut Records: MONTMARTRE "Feel Alive (Remix)", distributed by Barclay / Universal.

Both mixes came out of our remix contest:
kin + me Mix (1st place, USA)
Keyser Mix (2nd place, France)

133 remixes came in. Two of them are now on an official release.

You don't need every stem.

Pick the one part you can't stop looping, build the whole remix around it, and make everything else earn its place.

What's the smallest sound you ever built a whole remix around?

Sarah de Warren and Black Hole Recordings picked their "One More Night" winners.

1st: Sylvie Miles (Germany)
2nd: D2CR (Italy)
3rd: KINGROULZ (Canada)

Producers in 66 countries grabbed the stems, 301 finished a remix. All three winners get an official release on Black Hole.

Producers: how long do you sit on a remix before you call it done?

Bounce it the same night, or let it sit a week and come back with fresh ears?

A remix that sounds good is a clean mix of the original.

A remix that gets picked gives the artist a version of their own song they didn't know they had.

Same stems. Different question: if you could only keep one thing from the original, what would it be?
