The deadline for submissions in the Crookers / Funk Mundial remix contest ended last night. Spreading out in the blogosphere like a wildfire the remix contest was featured on many blogs and websites, even XLR8R magazine featured it in its online version. Thus, the results are truly mundial. We received a reggaeton remix from Puerto Rico, a banging Tecno Brega mix from São Paulo and tons of ravey stuff from all over the planet, even from heavy weights like Brabe from Holland or Sticky K courtesy of Dubsided fame.

We are currently in the process of remix evalution – with more than sixty entries, a real challenging job. Until we´ll announce the winners of the contest this Friday, we´ll give you something to play with : The Funk Mundial cube. Download the construction sheet for your own cube here:

Special thanks to Analog / Michael Ostermann from Vienna, Austria for designing the cube.

And of course: We´d like to say many thanks to all producers that provided their versions and participated in the contest.

Yo, ever fancied remixing Crookers? Well, here´s your chance. To celebrate the release of the Funk Mundial compilation, containing the best tracks of the vinyl series on Man Recordings, we are giving away original acappella, bassline and drumfills from the Crookers track “Soca Ali Baba” feat. Baile Funk MC Dandão for y´all to remix.
