Kandystand Remix Competition - Winners Announced
 

The 'Love Invasion' Remix Competition Winners Are Announced ...

Thank you to everyone who entered the Kandystand 'Love Invasion' remix competition, we had an overwhelming response from across the world, with a great range of musical styles.

All of the remixes submitted were to a very high standard, and Kandystand were extremely impressed with the production talent that's out there. It was a difficult task to choose the 3 winners (there was no 1st, 2nd or 3rd, all three were equally as good).

The 3 winning remixes will be included on the release of the single, due out 9th February 2009.

Here are the details of the winners. You can listen to the original track and all 3 of the winning remixes at http://www.kandystand.com

Winning Remix 1: DJ Molek & Adams-X Remix (Direct Entry)

Hungarian based producers DJ Molek & Adams-X produced a great dance remix of 'Love Invasion' bringing many new elements to the track. DJ Molek took a DJ course in 2006 in Budapest, and he met up with an old friend of his in 2007 'Adams-X' and they got together to start remixing tracks.

Winning Remix 2: Lawrence DJ Remix (Direct Entry)

Italian producer Lawrence DJ produced a winning mix with his blend of club dance house & electro sounds, using Nuendo, Soundforge & tons of plug-ins.

Winning Remix 3: Olivier Guy Remix (DMC Remix Entry)

Classically trained from a young age, Olivier Guy is a versatile music producer from Birmingham UK. Olivier's euphoric progressive style remix of Love Invasion put a new slant on the Kandystand track. He is currently working on the second opus of 'Dead Beat Project'.

Thank you again to all the DJ's and remixers who entered, and for all your hard work and effort.
