Please check out the "Message to the ones who didn't make it" section.)

Ruling Toys - Starlight (The Remixes)

The winners are:

1. Dj Dawee
There is an extreme amount of power in this remix. It never gets boring and just blows one away.

2. Caio Mass
This is a very playful and danceable version of Starlight. Shake it!
3. Lexwolker

This is the sound of the stars falling down on Earth to destroy everything.

Congratulations to the winners, you have created amazing tracks. We look forward to our release. Welcome on board!

Message to the ones who didn't make it:

I'd like to share a personal story with you guys to show you why you should not give up, only because you've lost a remix contest. Here's my little story on how I have never won a remix contest, lol.

In 2005 I joined my first remix contest. The track was from Trick and Kubic for Great Stuff Rec. I personally thought I had created a masterpiece. I put myself so much into this, I worked day and night on it and even created a cover art, printed a CD and sent them the track by real post mail. That was the first remix contest that I lost. I was really sad and disappointed, and I didn't know why I lost. I thought, back then, that the other tracks were worse than mine. But when I look and listen back now, I can tell you one thing: My track fu**ing sucked and was probably one of the worst in the pack xD But I didn't hear it back then. My ears weren't ready.

2 years later I tried another remix contest for Carl Cox' I Want You track and lost again. That time my track wasn't that bad...but my sound sucked balls. 

In 2010 I entered the Wolfgang Gartner remix contest with Anton (Zedd). Anton won and I didn't, again.

Then I entered Deadmau5' remix contest (Anton had already remixed Skrillex and was about to get famous then xD) and lost again. I changed my breakdown and released it as this track.

In 2012 I've participated in the Bjork Remix Contest, and Skrillex Remix Contest and I lost.

In 2013 I entered the Lazy Rich & Hirshee Contest and I lost, again. ^^

YES I am always a little sad and it drags me down to lose all these contests. But when I look back...I have learned so much from the remix packs of other artists' tunes. It often pushed my quality up a notch. So when you lose a contest, throw out the stuff that isn't yours, turn up the quality a bit, change it to your own track and try to release it somewhere! OR just leave it be, learn your lesson and come back stronger the next time!

So even though I never won a contest, I have still somehow managed to get some decent deals with labels, publishers and even movie producers. That being said, Noobish Records and even me as an artist will offer more remix opportunities in the future. So...stay tuned, don't give up and get your chance next time! 

Thank you for having shared your time with us. This remix contest was really fun and we look forward to our next joint adventure!

Remix Contest Winners Announced: Yenn feat. Jay Jacob - Banzai

The Banzai remix contestants have downloaded the remix stems about 400 times and have uploaded 38 submissions after days and days of hard work, which are amazing stats. So let's cut to the the chase and share the much anticipated results! (We have a message for the ones who did not win the contest. Please check out the "Message to the ones who didn't make it" section.)

First of all, we picked more than 3 mixes. There have been too many great ones, so we have decided to make an initial release with 3 remixes, and one more remix EP later on. Anyway, here we go!

The winners are:

1. Hi5
The chords of the breakdown, the track's quality and arrangement make this the best mix.

2. Backer & Wacco
The high pitched main lead made this an easy pick.

3. Unix
Quality work here with an amazing breakdown and clean sound.

4. Lunar Trance
Highly skilled mix in terms of notes and feeling.

5. Almi
Hands up, very fun to listen to.

6. Dotcom
Impressive take on the chords. It doesn't need vocals to stay in you head all day.

7. Patos
Simple, effectif and straight forward electro madness.

Congratulations to the winners, you have created amazing tracks. We look forward to our release. Welcome on board!

Now it's 2012 and I've participated in the Bjork Remix Contest...still waiting for those damn votes ;D I will probably lose again, which really sucks. But then I'll just take out the vocal and do my own thing and release it.
