Payback has been getting a heavy amount of love (shout-out to Rolling Stone, Slant, Consequence of Sound et. al.)

so this is my way of saying “thanks” and giving back

ahem:

calling all bedroom beatmakers, polished producers and MPC emptiers (aka 82.4% of my fanbase ‘til ?uesto diversified my followers)

I would like to present to you:

a remix contest

yeah, you read that right

launched by yours truly and sponsored by the good…no, great folks at SONOS, Hypetrak and (of course) Okayplayer

peep game:

remember “Myintrotoletuknow”? (no, not the beta version)

Stereogum gave it props a while back

I want you to make a beat and do something crazy with this track

you can download the acapella HERE

that link WILL expire on the 26th and I will NOT be re-uploading, so sorry to all you last-minute entrants

tempo is 150 BPM (or 75 BPM, depending on your setup)

after you’re done, email the track (must be 320-kbps MP3) to okayplayerremixcontest [at] gmail.com

it’s that easy

EVERYONE is encouraged to enter, even if I hate you :) lol j/k

participants will be judged on creativity and all that

dilla-esque? chillwave to the max? oontz-oontz-oontz? we want to hear it all

yes, samples are allowed

winner gets 5 dubs out of my own pockets, an Okayplayer Records “starter pack” (free download card for a deluxe version of Payback and labelmate Jennah Bell’s debut EP, due out soon) and a wireless speaker set courtesy of SONOS (BIG BIG thanks to Thomas)

oh and a shitload of e-props, if you’re into that sort of thing

the competition starts TODAY

deadline is December 28th

winner will be announced the following Friday (January 4th)

now run, my little monsters

run all the way home

spread the word

and get to work

you can win as long as you keep your head to the sky

Payback will never, ever die
