We are extremely pleased to be able to announce our very first Remix Competition, brought to you by Waipa Music and The EDM Spectrum!!! This contest is exclusive to The EDM Spectrum's visitors and showcase artists!

This is really 2 competitions in one, read on for more details....


This contest will run for 2 months (8 weeks). Entries must be submitted by 12:00AM (midnight) Pacific Time, on April 26, 2006. At the end. remixes will get visitor voting. Winners of the visitor voting will recieve a prize (still to be determined) from The EDM Spectrum, as well as get key placement of their links on our main page. And of course, the admiration and respect of The EDM Spectrum and its visitors!

Additionally, at the end of the 8 weeks, 3 tracks will be chosen, by Waipa Music, to be placed on the 2006 remix single and distributed worldwide. Winners will receive royalties, based upon sales. Visitor voting at The EDM Spectrum WILL influence the selection of the final top 3 winners.

The remix will be of a cover version of the song "Are You Old Enough", written by P. Hewson of Dragon. Remixing is conducted under license to Waipa Music. All entries become the property of Waipa Music Ltd. This does NOT mean that you won't be able to use your remix in any way. Waipa Music has said they will look into registering the tracks with APRA in New Zealand so that the tracks can be legally played in clubs even if they don't appear on the single. They would also be able to create an EP exclusive to us so that all entries are appropriately licensed and the remixers can show off their works.

4-6-2006 UPDATE: All rules that are not related to licensing and copyright laws are only guidelines...if you need to break them in order to make it interesting, go ahead. :)
