Gee, this was a tough one! We received almost thirty remixes for our “Din Daa Daa” remix contest, and we got quite a few big remixes in our Dropbox. Naturally, about one forth of the contributions were Moombathon remixes, but then we also received a lot of housey reworks and a few pretty crazy ones. All in all it was great to get this great feedback, a big thank you to all remix contributors: Fed-Ant, O.live.R, HVK Remix, Hüpersonique, Laundrymix, Shantaram, DJ Smooch!, Gimmix, Sven S, Rootkitt, Nagumo, Ducks On Repeat, K.T.I.T., DJ Avatar, Hac Mac, Playground Bounce, Vidám, EJ Flores, Frederic De Varvalho, Hung Like A Horse, Chong X, Hush Hush Pony, Veit B , Keos Peet, Teazz, LA Yute and Technobears.

Some remixers immediately published their remixes which kind of spoilt the nomination procedure, nevertheless, after listening to the remix contributions all weekend, it was eventually clear who were the stand out remixers:

Our #1 is by Boogaloo

Our #2 is by Chong X

Our #3 is by Teenage Mutants

Boogaloo´s remix will be officially released on the “Rambazamba Remixed” compilation, out April 6th on Man Recordings!

My “Rambazamba” album will be released in a redone version in April as “Rambazamba Remixed” with remixes by Oliver $, Jan Driver, French Fries, Chrissy Murderbot, Big Dope P, Kry Wolf, El Dusty, Urbs and a handful other hot tickets.

To warm up for the “Rambazamba Remixed” release, we´re starting a remix contest today for which you can rework my version of “Din Daa Daa”, the seminal 1980s club tune by German drummer extraordinaire, George Kranz. The winning remix of the contest will be officially released on the “Rambazamba Remixed” release and will receive the “Rambazamba” double vinyl, CD and some Man Recordings extras .

The deadline for submissions is February 3rd 2012, that´s in two weeks from today.
