Calling all remix bandits and bedroom producers!
This is your chance to show everyone what you've been doing late at night in your darkened room, bathed in the glow of blinking lights. Finally, someone will recognize your genius, and not just the guy in the apartment next door. We're not saying this contest is a sure-fire path to becoming a superstar producer. But we're not saying it's not.
What are we talking about? The VARIATIONS ON "A THEME" -- Cities Remix Contest, of course! We're giving you license to put your own personal spin on the hit single from one of Yep Roc's hottest new artists. Just download the individual tracks from "A Theme" by indie rock saviors Cities, and then do that voodoo that you do so well. If yours is the best, we will immortalize it forever on a limited edition EP alongside a bevy of notable electronic artists. What are you waiting for? Start downloading! You should probably quit your day job now.
The contest begins Thursday, May 18th and ends at midnight on Saturday, July 1st. The Grand Prize winner will have their entry included in the limited edition Cities remix EP, and receive an autographed copy of Cities' self-titled debut album along with a bag of select merchandise from the band. The winning entry will also be featured on the Yep Roc website and Cities' MySpace page. (See what we mean? Immortalized.) Five runner-ups will receive an autographed copy of the debut album from Cities. But what do you care about those chumps? You're going to win.
