It’s been a few years since we did the last one, so I figured it is time for another sample remix contest!
If it’s your first time here, for this music production contest you need to create a track using the provided samples only. The theme is “Transportation“. Think places, vehicles, infrastructure… I hope this will inspire you.
The contest pack below includes 57 loops (listen at SoundCloud), but you can also use any of the samples from the rekkerd archive, so there is lots of material to work with.
Remember that you are encouraged to manipulate the samples with whatever tools you like to make something new and fresh. You just can’t use any other sound sources.

Contrary to some of the previous contests at rekkerd, I will be picking the top 7 winners myself this time. Contest winners will get to choose a prize from the pool in order of placement. Everyone has a chance of winning, as the 3 remaining prizes will be given to random entries.
The deadline for submitting your track is August 23rd, 2015, 11.59pm CET.
Please make sure to check the rules below for details on how to enter the contest.
Good luck!
