“Check The Ringtone” Remix Competition Winner!!!
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Hello everyone!
The Felicia Alima “Check The Ringtone“ Remix Competition ended on September 30th.
We apologize for the delay in announcing the winner, but it took a while for Dieera and I to deliberate on over 40 remix submissions from all around the world.
The decision was very hard because there were so many strong entries (surprisingly a lot of jazz submissions) :)… but thinking along the criteria of creativity, quality, production relevance to the lyrics, and marketability, we collectively decided on the official winner…
The winner of the “Check The Ringtone” Remix Competition is dawZ, hailing from the UK!!!
dawZ submitted a five minute-long Garage-style remix of “Check The Ringtone“. He did more than just place the a cappella over an original beat - he chopped it up and “re-mixed” it too! The track is an up-tempo beat, suitable for the club scene, but it also emanates a dark feel, keeping the topic of the song relevant to the music.
David “dawZ” Veress is a Hungarian jazz musician/composer/producer. Growing up, music had been a huge aspect of his life, as he started playing guitar at the age of 5, and reached the finals in the “Metal Hammer Magazine” guitar competition at the age of 16!!! Currently residing in the UK, as an artist, dawZ plays jazz rock/fusion, but also writes music for various R&B performers and commercials. Check out some of his tunes on www.myspace.com/dawzscriticalmovements.
You can also copp DawZ’s new release “DawZ’s Critical Movements” on iTunes.
dawZ’s version of “Check The Ringtone“, will be placed on Felicia Alima’s up-coming album “Know Me - The Remixes“.
We would like to sincerely thank EVERYONE who took their time and creative energy to submit to the competition. We appreciate all your talents, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to all your submissions!
Please keep posted for future remix comps!!!
Thank you!!!
- Felicia Alima, Dieera and the Chantik Soul team.
