ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL REMIX CONTEST

After 13 years, Ultra Music Festival in Miami has established itself internationally with attendance numbers peaking in 2010 with more than 100,000 clubgoers making the pilgrimage to Florida. As a way of thanking their supporters, UMF organizers have announced their first ever UMF Remix Contest with the chance to remix Afrobeta's 'Play House'.

Afrobeta's 2010 EP release 'Play House' is a track that leaves a lot of space for creative interpretation, challenging the status quo with layer upon layer of sound that blends funky synths, head-bopping basslines, electro house, bilingual lyrics and serious attitude.

Inspired by a mutual love of classical songwriting, Cuban pastries and dancing until 5 am, Afrobeta was formed in 2006 by the Miami-based avant-dance duo Cuci Amador and Smurphio. Their live performance of 'Play House' to a sold-out 2010 Ultra Music Festival was colorful, crazy, passionate and explored Miami’s clash of cultures with jamming sounds and a fantastic video light show.

First place winners will be given the opportunity to perform live on stage at the next UMF in March. Additional prizes include SoundCloud accounts, a record deal and Beatport vouchers.

The 13th Annual Ultra Music Festival will take place on March 25/26/27 in downtown Miami's Bicentennial Park. This year will fearure a wide array of indie-rock and live electronic acts including Empire of the Sun, Cut Copy, CSS, Klaxons, Carl Cox, Tiësto, The Chemical Brothers, David Guetta, Erasure, Röyksopp, Trentemøller, and many more!

Deadline for the Ultra Music Festival Remix Contest with Afrobeta is February 15th, 2010.
