Erasure use new technology to run fan remix competition

Erasure's next single will include Digimpro's di music technology, letting fans remix a track on their PC and submit mixes for public voting.

Erasure are using that previously reported remix software to run a remix competition among their fans. The next Erasure single, a double a-side featuring 'Here I Go Impossible Again' and 'All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love', will come with a multi-media session using Digimpro's 'di music' technology. This means fans who buy the single will be able to pop the CD into their PC and have a go at remixing the first track. The di music technology outputs each punter's mix as an MP3. Remixers can then email in their mix - with fans invited to then vote for their favourites, with the band due to pick an overall winner.

Commenting on the remix promotion, Erasure's Andy Bell told reporters: "We have been bombarded with requests to include the di music player on more singles, our fans have absolutely loved it. So we thought it would be great to give exposure to some of the better remixes of the new single and showcase the work of our fans. With the di player we are able to explore our own creativity further, whilst giving fans the same ability to also get creative with the music and give it their personal touch".
