The Knowledge Remix Competition – Win Youself A One-Page Interview!

The crew at Knowledge know that there is a growing number of beat junkies out there with the production skills to understand the difference between a sawtooth LFO and a high pass cut-off so they have devised the Knowledge Remix Competition to put those skills to the test. The current issue delves into the magic of music production with Digital Nation editor John Murray Hill (aka Don Jon “The Bastard”) giving you the lowdown on how to make a track by dissecting his latest offering, ‘Beatz Are My Armour.’
If you log on to www.knowledgemag.co.uk/remixcomp you will find that Don Jon has seperated all the audio samples you’ll need to get going on the remix, leaving the rest of the process in your hands. Knowledge felt it was best to start everyone on a level playing field to give them a chance to peek into your warped minds to see how well you can mutate the basics into a mind bending new version. So if you think you can transform the old elements into a brand spanking new track then you could be in with a chance of getting a one-page interview in Knowledge and your remix featured on the cover CD before 2007. It really is that simple.

There are a few nuggets of information to bear in mind before you spend hours slaving away in front of the comptuer:
Firstly, you can use as little or as many of the included audio parts as you like but remember they are all copyrighted so don’t go incorporating them into your own music as if the Knowledge security team find out, they will hunt you down and drop kick you into next week.
It also goes without saying that it has to be suited to Knowledge so shelve any plans to make that techno / polka crossover track you’ve always dreamed of doing.
Finally, make sure you send the completed remix via AIM to ‘kmagremixcomp’ or on CD via snail mail to Remix Competition, Knowledge, 1 Trafalgar Mews, London, E9 5JG, UK before the 31st August 2006.
If you can do all that then you have more chance of survival than Cristiano Ronaldo.
