Franz Ferdinand Remix Contest
« M.I.A. Blaqstarr – Save Your Soul / video | main | Laid Back – Beautiful Day (Trentemøller vs Banzai radio edit) / Video »
Scottish indie dance group Franz Ferdinand has teamed up with
Beatportal to challenge aspiring producers to remix a forthcoming track
from their new album.
But in a twist that the band hopes will lead to more unique and diverse
remixes, the original of ‘Ulysses’ is not being made available to
contestants as it will only be released in January.
The idea is to create a hotpot of remixes that are not tainted by the direction and mood of the original version.
Franz Ferdinand’s lead vocalist Alex Kapranos told Beatportal that
the band “want to be surprised by the geniuses out there that no one
has heard of yet.”
As well as having their remix released on Domino Records, the winner will also receive 500€. Not bad.
