Attention all producers!
This month sees the release of LYNX & KEMO’s epic D&B
journey ‘The Raw Truth’ on Marcus Intalex’s evergreen imprint SOUL:r.
Deep, funky and with more soul than 100 Blaze records, IDJ loved it so
much we actually reviewed it (and featured LYNX, the man responsible
for 2008’s massive D&B club smash ‘Disco Dodo’) three months too
early.
With “The Raw Truth LP” out on June 1, we rang Marcus to see how we
could remind you how massive this album deserves to be without
resorting to tired and turgid repetition. “Get me a remix…” were his
simple words.
This competition is open to producers of ALL styles, no just D&B. As
this issue states, genres are about as useful as a solar-powered
glo-stick these days. ‘The Raw Truth’ is a fine example, as LYNX &
KEMO skillfully join the dots between D&B, Jazz, Downtempo, Soul
and traditional tribal rhythms.
A label dedicated to longevity and not just fly-by-night dancefloor
bangers, obviously SOUL:r aren’t going to release any old tat, but if
you think you got what it takes to complement the LYNX & KEMO
single ‘Global Enemies’ with your own original work, read on to find
out exactly how you can do it.
Download the parts from:
www.soulr.com/comp/global.zip
Then before July 3rd, upload your finished stems to:
www.soundcloud.com/rocketsciencemedia/dropbox
All entries will be judgd by Lynx, Kemo and Marcus Intalex and the
winner will be notified by SOUL:r. As with all rmix competitions,
originality and creative flare are essential! …
And that, to quote LYNX & KEMO, is the raw truth. Good Luck!
