Martin Solveig Remix Competition - Loads More Great Prizes to Win


Continuing on with our series of remix competitions Point Blank have teamed up with Beatportal and Martin Solveig to present this remix competition with a quite frankly ridiculous hoard of prizes to be won, including a Point Blank Online Course!!


The tune up for remix is his infectious electro-pop single ‘Hello’ featuring vocals from Dragonette. You may have seen the brilliant video for the track featuring Martin himself battling it out with fellow DJ Bob Sinclair on the centre court at the tennis French Open (complete with cheeky cameos from pro tennis players, Novak Djokovic and Gael Monfils). Check it out below:



With such a catchy vocal and strong riff, there are some great creative possibilities to be explored here and Martin has encouraged any style, saying, “Do your own thing, bring your own colour and universe, break the rules. Surprise us and make us dance.”


Martin and his team will choose 3 winning remixes to be announced April 5th, 2011, and the public will select the fourth winner on Beatportal. The deadline for submissions is March 7th so the clock is ticking… lets see if you can create a re-work that will ‘smash’ the competition (see what we did there?... ok we’ll stick to the day job!).
