When Ray Taff and Colman Buckley (Dualtec) sent me their track ‘Mokum’, I instantly knew it was a dance floor monster hit. So, I thought I had do something more than just release it, that’s why this remix contest has been created.
You can now be part of this upcoming release: download the parts, read the instructions below, and create your repaint of this marvelous techno track.
The Prize:
- You get to release your remix along with the original tracks of the EP, and Drumcomplex’ remix.
- You get to release your own EP at Different Is Different Records in the near future.
The Rules:
- Remix style must be techno, and techno only. Please listen to our releases to get an idea of our sound.
- Your remix must contain at least ONE recognizable part of the original, preferably sample #7. ‘Lead Flat’
- You must submit your remix via our remix contest dropbox that you will find below
- Use this image when you upload your remix to our dropbox
- DO NOT ENABLE DOWNLOADS WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR REMIX TO OUR SOUNDCLOUD DROPBOX

- Keep an unmastered copy in 24bit / 44 kHz lossless .wav or .aiff format, with enough headroom (-6dB) for us to master
- Do not send work in progress or unfinished remixes

My Ableton is showing that the tracks are protected, can not play to produce audio remix

Tracks are not protected You should be able to load them on Ableton Live without problems. Try loading them from your internal hard drive, and on a new ableton project.

Samples were offered in a variety of formats, including LOSSLESS FLAC, which is as good as WAV. Good luck with your submission

It seems that I pick the first ones I stumble upon, my bad.
I finished the job anyway.
Thanks Daniel
