Remix Streetlab’s New Single ‘Rat Racer’, Win Prizes
Mar 24, 2010
Genre: Electronic, Hip Hop
Category: Streetlab Remix Competition
Our goal in starting this website a little over a year ago was to provide quality content, focusing on emerging artists. Â One of the first that we wrote about was Streetlab, and so we feel it is no accident that we are holding a remix competition with this NYC pair now. Â Personally, I’ve been tracking these guys since late 2008, and have oft dropped their extremely well made classic rock remixes in my sets – check the links below. Â You can also access all of their music from Streetlab.net, where they give most of it away for free!
Several successes of theirs in the last year include Radio 1 airplay, a set at NYC’s Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival, inclusion in the soundtrack for an episode of Entourage, and tons of attention from mainstream outlets, magazines, and blogs around the world. Â Truly, Streetlab is on some next level shit when it comes to leveraging blogs and digital distribution. Â I’m really excited to be supporting this incredibly talented pair, and can’t wait to see what people come up with. Â If you live in the NYC area and want to see them live, you can support Streetlab at these shows:
- March 25th: Brooklyn – Cameo Gallery w/ Pharoh & Sepalcure
- April 13th: New York – Santos Party House w/ Bottle Up & Go, Hush Now, & Das Racist (DJ)
This remix competition is plain and simple: follow this link, and read the directions. Â The track is an original single called Rat Racer released in early February, in anticipation of their first full length album AUTO SPKR, which launches April 20th, 2010.
- Last submissions accepted: April 7 @ 11:59pm
- Format: MP3 encoded @ 320kbps
- ID3 Tagging: Read the rules – this is VERY important!!!
- Voting: Voting will begin on the site April 9 and will end April 16. Â Winners will be chosen by Streetlab, and announced April 17.
Prizes:
- The top three tracks will be posted on Streetlab.net

sweet. will this be like the last remix competition, where a bunch of people spend a lot of time and energy to produce a remix, and a winner is never announced? where do i sign up?
Hey @ya right, thanks for taking the time to comment, even if it is a sharp criticism. If you navigate using the bar above you’ll find under “Features>>Contests” that in each case we’ve announced winners to our competitions. If your criticism is actually that it took too damn long last time, then I strongly agree with you and echo your criticism. We’ve learned a lot since then. This time around we are much more organized, we have far fewer people involved in judging this time, we’re going to let fans vote for a predefined period, and we have actually set dates for ourselves for the announcement – April 17th. In my opinion, this was the biggest problem last time – no target for the announcement.
I hope that if you’ve participated in the past that you’ll participate again.
Thats a swweeet track! Time to head to the lab!
thanks cal,
maybe i’m looking in the wrong place. i don’t seem to find a post with a winner for the TMDP competition.
sounds sweet, doubt my remix will be as high standard as the submissions that seem to come in but what is the rights to it like? like it grand to post the finished track on a myspace or something, i know some remix competitions are totally against it so thought id ask
@DMK Yeah man, your remix is absolutely your own, and you’re free to do with it as you’d like. We’d appreciate it if you didn’t post it before we post all of the remixes, for fairness sake, is all. It makes sense not to anyway, because we’re going to be having open voting on the tracks, so you’ll want to send your friends and fans to your track here to support you!
yeah thats cool o course man
