An online competition where music fans get to remix a track - now there's an original idea (on a complete aside, if you want to subscribe to the Remix Update, the free e-newsletter produced by CMU to accompany Eddy TM's Xfm radio show The Remix, just send an email to [email protected]).
Anyway, Zero 7 are giving budding remixers the chance to remix their track 'Warm Sound' from the band's double gold album 'When It Falls'. You can download the vocal at http://www.zero7.co.uk and then remix away. The remix that most excites Zero 7 themselves will then get a limited edition 12" release by Atlantic Records.
If you're looking for inspiration, perhaps seeing the band live will help, upcoming live dates as follows:
14 Nov: Bristol Colston Hall
15 Nov: Exeter Great Hall
16 Nov: Reading Hexagon
18 Nov: Leeds University
19 Nov: Manchester Apollo
20 Nov: Glasgow Academy
22 Nov: Cambridge Corn Exchange
23 Nov: Wolverhampton Civic
24 Nov: Brighton Centre
