“We’ve been sitting on this track for way, way too long and it’s probably my favorite track I’ve ever been on. Today being my birthday, we decided to go ahead and drop it. Enjoy.”

Our first Algorhythms Remix Contest was a bigger success than we’d expected, resulting in 61 submissions. We figured the volume of submissions would make it harder to judge, but our winner was a serious standout.
We’d like to introduce you to a producer by the name of Naturetone, from Bern, Switzerland. He’s got a lot of experience, having started out with Swiss rappers Three Tree Posse (3TP) back in 1993. His love of music has brought him back into the game and he’s currently working towards his first solo instrumental album…and you know we’ll keep you posted on that.

Here’s his rundown of the samples involved:
Blowing Numbers: The smooth and very nice song “Marcella’s Dream” by The Crusaders from their 1978 album “Images” mixed with Quincy Jones’s beautiful version of “Summer in the city” from his 1973 album “You’ve got it bad girl”.
Dreams of Lisbon: Phil Upchurch & Tennyson Stephens’ great song “Don’t I know you” from their 1975 album “Upchurch/Tennyson” mixed with Millie Jackson’s “The Rap” from her 1974 love concept album “Caught up”.
What’s this: The Village Soul Choir single “The cat walk” mixed with the song “Soul Suite” from 1972 by Detroit’s grooving Dave Hamilton.
What’s this (alternate take): The great song “Dolphin Dance” by the great Ahmad Jamal, taken from his 1970 album ...

Even though the entire point of the Algorhythms remix contest was to make solid connections with new producers, we also wound up with about a dozen in-house remixes.
Prime example: a haunting new take on “Blowing Numbers” by Algorhythms’ very own Dr. Quandary.
FAQ: What happened with the remix contest?
WE ARE SO DAMN SORRY. We know, we are months behind the ball on that. The announcement (and release of the winner’s tracks) will be next week. We’ve had our hands very full and we’re still learning what our responsibilities are, and how to juggle them. Thank you for your patience. We got a total of 61 submissions (!!!!) and that’s an amazing turnout.

Since the Algorhythms EP dropped last year, there’s been a slow but steady demand for accapellas. Rather than just drop these quietly, we’re going to run a whole summer-long remix contest and keep feeding you more.
THE RULES:
Do whatever you want. When you’re done, though, we do have a few regulations.
Submissions have to be rendered in at least 256 kbps mp3 format. We don’t want any .wav files until we decide we like your track. All entries will be judged by a rotating panel of WAR artists, with me and Dr. Quandary making the final decisions.
Submit your track to djmspbeats@gmail.com
Deadline for submissions is August 1st. We might suggest/request changes if we dig the track but the mix is off. The deadline for finished tracks is September 1st.
The winning submissions will all get included in a World Around Remix collection we’ll be releasing online and promoting like crazed fire ants. You’ll be alongside our in-house team, this won’t just be the “Random People Online Remix Our Shit EP” — this is an album-length project and it will be dope.
