Today, we’re happy to announce that MixMatchMusic<\/a> has achieved an important milestone in the adoption of its Remix Wizard<\/a> with more than 50 bands hosting fan engagement promotions since October! Artists including Pepper<\/a>, Zion I<\/a>, Camp Lo<\/a>, and Julien-K<\/a> are among the bands using the MixMatchMusic Remix Wizard to power remix contests for their fans. Each of the bands have loaded guitar, bass, keys, drums and\/or other music stems into personalized versions of the Remix Wizard, and invited their fans to remix, mash up and create new sounds with them.<\/p>\n

Pepper and Zion I recently wrapped up contests for fans to remix popular tracks from their respective newly released albums. The response was tremendous, with Pepper<\/a> receiving 50 remixes, 2,000 votes and 22,000 plays of Freeze. Zion I\u2019s contest<\/a> around its track \u201cDJ DJ\u201d received 35 remixes, 1,900 votes and close to 11,000 plays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response way exceeded our expectations and it was super gratifying seeing all these fans putting their own flavor on our song\u2026 one guy even paid to \u2018liven\u2019 a sample from another band and use it in his version,\u201d said drummist\/ vocalist Yesod Williams of the band, Pepper. \u201cGetting the fans as involved as possible was the goal and we accomplished that tenfold with MixMatchMusic!”<\/p>\n

MixMatchMusic\u2019s Remix Wizard is a solution for the masses. By comparison the remix promotions pioneered by seminal bands, Radiohead and NIN, were limited to the relative handful of fans with Digital Audio Workstation software. The Remix Wizard is available to every band with a song and every fan with a browser and broadband connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chance to remix Zion I\u2019s track \u2018DJ DJ\u2019 was an opportunity for me to show off my producing chops to the Zion I crew, Amplive and Zumbi, and to my own fans,\u201d said artist\/producer Stinj-e<\/a>. \u201cRemixing tracks from bands I admire gives me a different level of interaction with their music than if I\u2019m catching Zion I at one of their live shows. It lets me tap into my creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n
