So you think you have what it takes to create a world class mix, eh? Well, prove it by entering the first Real World Remixed competition. This is taking place in association with Peter Gabriel, who’s given “Shock The Monkey” for you to remix, and Solid State Logic, who are donating a spectacular grand prize: an SSL Duende. You’ll start with a sample pack that includes all the vocals from Peter’s original multitracks of “Shock The Monkey,” which was recorded between spring 1981 and summer 1982, and was one of the the first tracks to use sampling technology thanks to the Fairlight CMI. You’ll hear this and other classics like the Linn Drum and the Prophet 5 synth throughout the sample pack. Download the pack then create your remix and upload it back to the site, where there will be peer reviews and ratings. Peter himself will listen to the pick of the mixes during the first week of October with the lucky winner being announced on October 7th. That person will also take possession of an SSL Duende! Good luck!
