Ah, finally we have reach to a democratic decision on our remix competition for the single MRTN feat. Lovisa Negga 'Slow' in association with the fine people at Stoney Roads, one of the best sources for music news and other fun stuff. So, we want to thank you for being part of the remix contest! We received a whopping 81 remixes, and as story goes, good ones and some bad ones. But mainly good ones! It took us a while to go through all the remixes and reach a democratic decision among MRTN, the Stoney Roads and Top Billin teams. The original is a vocal track so it was no easy task either, working vocals is a special skill but from what we heard, many producers on a good route to success. Both winning remixes stood out with their originality, proper use of remix parts, well produced sounds and functionality on the dance floor, these guys got mad skills. Winner will receive the mad prize package + a release on the 'Slow' remix ep. 2nd place will be offered a compilation appearance and Top Billin merchandise. 1st place: (Farkas remix) (dubstep and a banger) 2nd place: (Jason Kid remix) (80's vibed disco) Runner ups: (Apparent Motion remix) (Brunbjorn remix) BIG UP EVERYBODY AND THANKS FOR BEING PART OF THIS GREAT MUSICAL BLAST.]]> slow-tb-x-stoneyroads1
