My First “Official” Remix

Last month I decided to give myself a little bit of a musical challenge: enter a remix contest. I’ve dabbled a little in remixing in the past but never actually committed to anything, so I saw this as a chance to see what I was really capable of. I went in search of a remix contest I found interesting and found a whole remixing community called FiXT Remix Online Community. The FiXT Remix Community is actually a division of FiXT which includes a record label, online store, and a Film/TV/Video Game Licensing arm. It was created by Scott Albert (better known as “Klayton”) who is the man behind Celldweller, an electronic rock project based out of Detroit, Michigan. FiXTRemix.com offers people the opportunity to remix songs not only by Celldweller but a plethora of other electronic/rock acts as well.

Neat!

I entered the “So Long Sentiment” contest in which you could remix the song “So Long Sentiment” by Celldweller. Having found out about this contest less than a month from the entry deadline allowed me to check out my competition right away. I concluded I was basically screwed… but I went for it anyways!

As it turns out, my remix made it to the Top 20! People can now vote for their top 3 picks which I encourage you to do right now! From what I understand, it’s an open vote so there’s no need to sign up to anything to vote. Check out my remix below and let me know what you think.
