3487 designers from 94 different countries participated in designboom's sound innovation competition . There are many many nice ideas there, I hope at least some of them will be realized  soon. You are highly recommended to go and check out the whole gallery!!! I want a 3D EQ now :D

Digitalism are back. And as a prelude to their next album release, you can participate in a remix competition and remix the first completed track of the new album, "Taken away". Read more and download stems here.

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.

(Thx to Beatportal) 

A1 Bassline will come out with their Girl Thing EP next week and to celebrate the release in style they throw a remix competition. You can get the stems HERE and send your finished remix HERE . Check their MySpace for more info!
Good luck everybody!!!

The Glass – Fourteen Again (Eli Escobar remix) [mp3 zShare]

The NYC electro/dance/rocksters and all around great guys in The Glass are releasing their “Remixes and Rarities”
CD yesterday. The CD is filled to the brim with sweet remixes, both
some of their own and also remixes made by Mylo, Rinocerose,
Supertroels etc. The Discobelle runs a nice remix competition to celebrate the release of the remix CD. Here’s the deal: they give you the
320 kbps instrumental for the track Bangin’ It Out! As Dominique of The Glass said: – It’s got a little hip hop
and indie vibe, so it would be cool if we got some raps as well as more
song stuff, or whatever someone wants to express over the track really… - The winner gets released on Plant Music! Go and get the instrumental from the Discobelle!!
