THIEVERY CORPORATION REMIX CONTEST

Thievery Corporation’s Eric Hilton and Rob Garza share a musical vision that combines bossa nova, Jamaican dub reggae and vintage film soundtracks into a hazy, laid back hybrid sound.

With their Eighteenth Street Lounge label, the duo expanded their sonic output while keeping sounds tight in the pocket for a very refined collection of albums and singles that currently number into the hundreds. After 16 years of working together Thievery Corporation’s output of music and touring still hasn’t slowed down. Earlier this year, the duo released the "Culture of Fear" LP and toured festivals worldwide to critical response.

Thievery Corporation has teamed up with electronic music production and DJ school Dubspot to create a very special opportunity.

"It’s time to apply those production skills you’ve been honing and pull out some tricks you’ve learned because we’re giving you the opportunity to remix Thievery Corporation’s “Culture of Fear” single. The winning remix will be chosen by Hilton and Garza and will be released on wax by Eighteenth Street Lounge Music! In addition the winner will receive a copy of Ableton Live recording software and a choice of any course with Dubspot Online."

The contest is open to unsigned artists worldwide and closes February 4, 2012.
