It’s great to see artists and labels using SoundCloud’s group features and the players for their remix competitions. If you need any assistance while setting up your own remix contest and would like to use SoundCloud, let us know – we’ll be happy to help.

Fine Art have opened up a remix competition for Yalla Yalla by Sheharzad. Having been remixed by panOptikum and Henrik Schwarz this is a great opportunity to give the original your own edge. Prizes include a release on Fine Art and a SoundCloud PRO account.

Deadline is 1st of June, submissions will need to be made via the dropbox and there are no genre restrictions whatsoever, so let’s get crackin’.

You’re all going to have to pull a few late-nighters in the studio this month because those remix competitions are everywhere – quite literally! Hot on the heels of last week’s Jazzanova Remix Competition, we’re pleased to tell you about another opportunity to flex your remixing muscles. This time round the world’s largest online dance music retailer Juno has teamed up with London-based Cr2 Records to give you the chance to re-work John Dahlback’s massive electro-house single ‘Everywhere’.

The parts, including vocal, synths, guitar and vocal are nice and simple so we’ll be keeping a keen ear out for the most interesting interpretations which Cr2 will be posting up on their Cr2 Remixed page. The label will be picking 4 winners, one from each of the following genres: Electro, House/Tech, Techno, Drum & Bass. These will be released on the commercial digital release of ‘Everywhere’ in January 2009. And if this honour wasn’t enough, there’s also some great prizes up for grabs from ourselves, Ableton and Juno.

To enter you’ll need to get the parts from Juno Download, get creative and then submit your remix to the CR2 Remixed DropBox. You’ll find the full details here. And hurry, all entries must be in by December 14th.

We’re really excited to tell you that Jazzanova are doing a remix contest for their new single ‘I Can See’ on SoundCloud. We just had a listen through the parts and it really sounds like a fun remix project to work on. Ben Westbeech does a great job on the vocals and it seems one could do fun stuff with the piano backing track. The original tune is really good as well! Check and download the samples for yourself here:

To start working, just head over to the Jazzanova remix site, register with your email, download the parts and drop your mix in the DropBox. The Jazzanovas will then listen through and comment directly on your track! The deadline is January 15th.

A bunch of nice prizes (including Ableton Live licenses and SoundCloud PRO accounts…) are waiting for the lucky winners- and on top the chance of a digital release on Berlin-based label Sonar Kollektiv. The remixes will be presented on the Jazzanova website and Soundcloud. And the winner of the competition will be picked by the Jazzanovas themselves.

Oh, and here’s the video for ‘I Can See’:

UPDATE: The remix contest has been extended, the deadline is now 15th of January.
