Sample remix contests are usually quite boring. Download a sample pack, create a track with the included samples and hope the guy running the contest likes your stuff… or takes bribes.
If you’re hoping this contest will be any different, I have to disappoint you. It’s actually exactly what you just read, except:
- the sample remix pack includes 100+ samples (many of which were generated/processed with Ohm Force plug-ins), so there’s plenty to work with.
- the rekkerd.org readership picks the winner, so no point in trying to bribe me.
- the prize: Ohm Force ALL-ALL Bundle.
That’s right, you could win the complete collection of Ohm Force plug-ins, including Symptohm: Melohman and Ohmicide: Melohman. A value of $920 USD!
Excited? I know I would be, so go ahead and download the 54MB sample pack (84MB uncompressed) below to get started. And while you’re waiting for the download to complete, please read the contest rules below.
Sample Remix Pack 2008 (Download size: 54.22 MB)
The sample pack contains 24-bit wav files (mono/stereo) which have been normalized to a peak of 0dB. The volume of the samples varies quite a bit, and some of them are quite raw ‘n nasty, so please be sure to protect your ears & equipment.

Thanks again for the contest Ronnie/rekkerd.org, I gained quite a lot just by participating!
Ah sorry man, I meant Ace Fadal. I didn’t realise I directed the message to you until you just commented lol. sorry man
SHALLAN – I don’t have a soundclick website (that I remember …heh), so I guess you’ll have to contact that other Audiopath about it…(if you haven’t already)…
I’ve just been on vacation for 10 days and I see the number of tracks has multiplied quite I bit, so I’d better get listening here….
You know, with so much great talent as shown here, it’s a wonder how so much junk gets released on these huge labels. People talk about music being blah today, but they don’t readily get to hear some of this great work.
Alright, all entries are now posted.
Wasn’t sure, as the contact form kinda burped in process :)
Hi Reason, I did get yours. I still have to add about another 10 tracks to the list.
I’ll update this page in a few hours and get the voting started.
Did you get mine Ronnie?
Time is up!
I will make the final update to the list of tracks later today, email out details on how to vote to each participant and post a voting thread on the website. Exciting!

Some people have emailed me about the deadline, and I must admit I didn’t really write about this as clear as I could when I said:
To clarify, make sure to submit your entry before the end of today, July 31. I’m on CET timezone, but if you submit at 11.55pm your local time that’s fine with me too.

Sweet deal, I’ll be able to turn my entry in after all :) Thanks Ronnie,
Since I’m on CET and quite a few people might still be on July 31st when I’m already sleeping my way into August, I will just check for the last batch of entries in the morning on August 1st CET.
I’ll then prepare a download package with all the tracks and email/post to let everyone know how to vote. Voting will probably start on Saturday.
One more day, eh? Ronnie, is there a set time they have to be in by?
Good job everybody. Feel free to get a hold of me if anyone ever wants to collab. Its amazing to hear some stuff that almost sounds the same, and a couple of far out joints.
