The first rekkerd.org sample remix contest has come to an end. Well, the fun part of it anyway. Now it’s time to get serious and vote.
I’m absolutely pleased with the amount of tracks submitted. Above and beyond my expectation… almost fifty of them, and of great quality too.
I’m also glad you guys will have to decide who wins, as I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one entry to win the prize…
Thanks to everyone who entered the contest and good luck with the votes!
How to vote?
Voting is simple. Just pick your top 3 and post them in the comments in this page.
Something like this:
- Artist – Title, this one will get 3 points
- Another artist – Another track, this one will get 2 points
- You get the point – right? so yes, 1 point for this entry
Voting is open to anyone, but please don’t vote without considering (and actually listening to) all entries. Make sure to use a working email address when you post your vote.
Voting ends on Friday, August 8, 11.59:59pm CET. You can only vote ONCE, and participants NEED to vote in order to be eligible to win.
Who will be the winner?
Our wonderful friends at Ohm Force have generously added two more bundles to the prize pot, so there will be a total of three prizes to be won:
- 1st place : ALL-ALL Bundle
- 2nd place : ALL-FX Bundle
- 3rd place : ALL-Disto Bundle *or* ALL-Filters Bundle
Even though anyone can vote, the first prize will actually be decided by the participants’ votes only. For 2nd and 3rd place all votes count.
The winners will be announced on Saturday, August 9.
I’d say that’s a wee bit experimental a lot ^_^

Story of my life,
but thanks for the hindsight kudo’s! Unfortunately it is to late to change your vote now :-(
;-)
Hello everyone, stumbled onto this contest last night and got a chance to
listen to all the tracks during work today. (great way to spend your friday
work day). I was very surprised at the originality as well as similarities
between eachtrack. anyways hope i’m not too late to vote, here goes…
1) Jonas the plugexpert- ik mis je
2) 337- rhetoric
3) Rungate- futz schmucks uber
To generalize, I picked Jonas’s track because it has the best overall sound
to it as well as some nice off-balanced grooves that I thought were really
cool. I chose 337’s track because it was very calm and soothing with an
overall nice flow to it. Lastly I picked rungate’s track because of all
those crazy tweaks and sounds. totally unreal!
1. Paul Hoda – I Told You
2. Andre James Houghton – Duck Walk
3. Embryonic – Evolution
There was some great creative work with the samples, just wish I would have more time to further develop my track. Hope there will be another contest some day. ;)
Other tracks worth mentioning:
Tommy G – Dream Walker
Jonas The Plugexpert – Ik Mis Je
337 – Rhetoric
Morgan – No More Running
Nheap – CMNE
Softegg – Takeoff
Dark Embassy – Sabotaging the Thinking Machine
1. Audiopath- Crash
nice use of the pads in the beginning and then it just picks up into that thumpin’ bassline. also like how you did the transition towards the end. great stuff
2. I suck, you rox- 100 percent mouse
great track to dance too. Lots of stuff happening with a real nice and slow build up. wondering if the track got its name because you did the whole mix with your mouse? haha
3. Paul Hoda- I told you
awesome song structure and arrangement. loved the build up in the middle.
Honorable mentions to Jonas, Hideki, Runagate, Bl4xun and Makeone…
Overall, very difficult choices to make indeed. Great to have a nice small competition like this where you know every track will get listened to and in some cases get some feedback on. Thanks to all and especially to Ronnie!
1. 337 – Rhetoric (very nice and downtempo, great use of the opening sample throughout the whole thing)
2. Softegg- takeoff (great little dancy tune)
3. Jonas The Plugexpert – ik mis je (great production value)
good job to all the entrants
1. Futz Schmucks Über by runagate

2. Takeoff by softegg
Funky
3. Ill Machine by Anders Thøgersen
I just like this the best cause it sounds like and old school R&B jam

Hi Federico, I took the liberty to rewrite your email address in order to minimize spam in your account.
Hi to everybody!!! And compliment to everybody!
The choice has been very difficult, and I didn’t expect me for a contest so professional! (personally I have picked him up as a game, I hope to improve me in the next remix contest!)
My choices are:
1: Jonas The Plugexpert – Ik Mis Je
Absolutely perfect mix, a beautiful arrangement and elaboration of the sounds, beautiful song. I believe you is a professional… I would like to know more of you!!!
2: Paul Hoda – The Tolds You
Surely the song that I prefer, I like a lot the choice of the kind. Mixing very well. Good arrangiament.
3: Andre James Houghton – Duck Walk
Yours is a kind that don’t listen, but I want to reward the quality of the production, I like much your mix and sound!
Regret me for all the others, the choice has not been easy. All prductions are beautiful!
I would like to propose you, if someone wanted to do it, to exchange us the projects (software allowing) so that it’s also an occasion for to learn above something plug-in, mixing, arrangement, elaboration sounds etc…
Not you hesitate to contact me at my hotmail.com address: kikkodj69
Thanks to everybody and a thanks particularly to Ronnie that has allowed everything this!!!And sorry for my bad english!
Cheers Federico
My votes go to:
1) Runagate: FSU (skillful glitch, loving the mangling)
2) bl4xun – rekkerd con (light up a joint, sit down, chill out)
3) 337 – Rhetoric (smooth, no worries, everything is going to be allright, reminded me of the good ‘ol amiga demo days)
Cheers.
Richard Jonas
1. Squeezing by Cunigus
2. ik mis je by Jonas The Plugexpert
3. Rhetoric by 337
What a nightmare having to decide!! Well here it is…
1. Nightflight- Rauschen440
Really wicked track with a great vibe. The drum programming sounds quite simple on the surface but it is absolutely PERFECT and quite difficult to achieve.
2. Ik Mis Je – Jonas The Plugexpert
Probably the warmest, cleanest sounding production but the reason for choosing this one was its truly great melody and elegant yet driving rhythmic stutters.
3. rekkerd con – bl4xun
Also a really warm and melodic track with nice groove.
All the tracks were really musical in their own way, it really just comes down to personal taste I guess.
Thanks again to everyone! Its so great to hear so many interpretations of the same material and proof that human imagination is truly without limit!!
Hi,
I have finally decided how to place my votes, but it surely was not an easy job at all. As others mention, there are many very good tunes here.
My votes are:
1. Jonas The Plugexpert – ik mis je
2. Embryonic – Evolution
3. Ad Ex Machina – God Hates the Working
Many of the other tunes were very good aswell, I especially liked: Sabotaging the Thinking machine from dark embassy, 337 – Rhetoric, Dream Walker, The last Days, and 100% mouse, … i could go on… great stuff!
And many thanks for this nice contest! It has been a lot of fun and I have learnt quite a few things on the way…
