🎧 Buckle up SKIO fam, we've got the most EPIC stems you didn't even know you needed!! 🎶 Our Major Lazer Remix Contest is officially on! Happy 10 Years of the most legendary remix contests.
Here's what's in store:
The Track: One of the most recognizable dance songs of the last decade, "Lean On" has racked up Billions of streams worldwide, and if you can believe it, now it's yours to flip! The iconic vocals and saucey production stems are ripe for remixing and at 98 bpm, it's a perfect canvas for your magic.
Prizes Worth $9,000 including a Remix Release: We went a little crazy with prizes.
Picture this, you're working on your next track using the supremely accurate 8320a Studio Monitors by Genelec with the GLM kit for studio room calibration. Sound good? Or how about getting your Lean On remix released to Spotify? Well, we loaded this one up with 3x Release slots plus our favorite Studio Monitors by Genelec, killer plugin bundles from Leapwing, Metric Halo, AYAIC, NoiseAsh, Embody and Make Believe, subscriptions for SKIO, LANDR and Fader Pro, fresh samples from Glitchedtones and much more! Check out the prizes tab for the full list.
Submission Deadline: You've got until May 27th to finish your remix. Heads up though, we are only accepting 500 free entry submissions so keep an eye on the contest page and submit before we reach the limit!
Participating is free if you submit early, but if you like to take your time or want to gaurantee your entry, pick a SKIO Plan to submit even after the limit is hit.
Judging: Your remixes will be under the industry spotlight, reviewed first by SKIO A&R's, and then by Major Lazer and their label team. No pressure, just make it epic!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: We like to keep it legal and legit - for this contest you may share your remixes on SKIO Music and YouTube. Uploads to other platforms such as SoundCloud might land you a strike from their army of copyright bots. Distributing to Spotify or other commercial use is a NO-GO (rules, you know). Breaking the rules can get you suspended from SKIO so don't mess about.
OK, it's time to make some magic! "Lean On" is yours to remix. 🎧 Grab your headphones, fire up the DAW, and show us what you're made of! 🔥🎵
