WATMM 'Monthly' Remix Competition -> Round 4

(For the story up till now, see this original thread, and also the round 1 voting, round 2 voting and round 3 voting threads)

After a short intermission, we return for another round of the increasingly inaccurately named Monthly Remix Competition.

Monolith won Round 3 back in October, and so he chose the source track for this round, which is Techno City by Cybotron, a classic piece of detroit techno from 1984. Here's the discogs entry for it, and here it is on youtube:

Because I am on the opposite side of the planet from where I usually am, this round will have an extra long deadline of 31st March 2009, to give me time to find my way home before I have to upload the tracks for voting. Hopefully that also means that we will have some extra awesome submissions : )

Here's a reminder of our Simple Rules:

Simple Rules:

- its a remix competition

- we're taking remix in the very broadest sense of the word

- voting will be anonymous

- we can do it with threads and polls and PMs, for now. Maybe we'll build a site later.

- winner of each round gets to choose the source track for the next round

- anyone can enter, but it makes it easier for me if they have a watmm username

Round 4 starts now. If you want to submit a track, please PM it to me (or email to mail@koanotic.org) by 23:00 GMT on Tuesday 31st March.

After that we will have 1 or 2 weeks of voting, and then we'll be moving on to round 5.

edit: also, if anyone wants to create cover art for this round, please post it here or pm it, cheers

excellent!

I'm fucking down.

Sweeet!

Finally a tune that isnt a gay piece of shit, well in.

fuck you guys, i was trying to be topical when i selected isaac hayes. and that brian wilson song was awesome. remixing electronic music into other electronic music doesn't really seem as exciting. but what do i know.

true but this was precisely my reason for thinking his picks were shit, they were super lowest common denominator and seemed like a 'catch all' selection to please everybody and their 40 year old dad
