Luca Ricci - Seven [BADmusic Remix] →
Just for fun, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and submit a ”minimal” remix of Luca Ricci’s upcoming release “Seven” (referring to the so-called seven deadly sins). [Listen here]
One shouldn’t expect too much from a remix competition as one never really knows what type of sound the label is looking for. Even worse, some artists/labels even use remix competitions to get ideas for “original” tracks they haven’t even created yet. That being said, they are good ways to exercise your musical creativity and focus on completing a full track (a common habit for any musician, especially those in electronic music, is to have a large of number of bits of songs, little riffs, etc., waiting to be finished at a later date). A good way to evaluate a worthwhile remix contest is to examine the prizes; in my opinion the best prizes are not gear, nor sample packs, or even money, but co-releases on the upcoming EP or album. In the end, it’s about getting your music heard after all!
Happy remixing…
