Here`s James Hype remixing TLC`s “No Scrubs” in 20 minutes !

After sleeping on this, decided to give this post a little more TLC..

OK, so when I first saw this video, I must admit I thought it was pretty much an impossible task.. starting a remix from scratch to completion in 20 mins. Seems I was wrong. Very much so. And after checking how many hits this video got overnight.. it doubled from 20k to 40k+ views, I reckon we (we, as in the remix community) could have just a little more fun with this concept, which someone may have come across, very much by accident. Deffo something we can get our teeth into a bit more methinks.

And if you are unaware, ClubRemixer is not exactly afraid of jumping on any current/possible new bandwagon, especially where there`s some prospective fun involved. What I would like to jovially endorse is that we embrace the “20 Minute remix” with open arms, as a community, and ride that hype train !

Firstly, I would encourage Kiss FM (who helped bring this all together) to do a series of “20 minute remix challenges”. I mean, who would not like to see that? More of the same please. Numbers are good, the format is brilliant, and who would not like to see their favourite producer get down and dirty in the studio, under a little pressure? I`m eagerly awaiting already. Not going to mention any names I`d like to see, because there`s actually loads, but David Guetta, I could slightly be looking in your direction, as he did something similar for DJ Mag a while ago:

so RULES:

1, Make a remix similar in length and track count and creativity as seen in the James Hype video. The remix must include a decent chunk of the chosen acapella, new drum tracks, the obligatory synth lead (bonus points for being super catchy), and a bassline. More extra points given for whatever Piano/Strings/Synth lines/Arpeggiators time permits. No need for FX. We`ll let you off on that one.

2, You HAVE to make an online spinning wheel up which will randomly decide which acapella is to be used for the remix. The pella selection has to be filmed “live”. For the suspense mainly.

3, The clock starts when the acapella hits the sequencer, and there must be a countdown clock somewhere in your recording.

4, The teaboys/engineers/backroom staff/friends, and the usual studio monkeys, get to choose the acapellas to be randomly chosen on the spinning “wheel of doom”. 10 acapellas should do it, but please make sure the pellas are in the producers collection, beforehand. Ultimate bonus points given if this is “all a bit of a surprise” to the producer.

5, No cheating with pre prepped stuff.

6, Publish your “20 Minute Remix Challenge” video on YouTube, with an appropriate thumbnail, and send the link in to ClubRemixer HQ, so we can post your efforts on our front page too.. for which you will receive the very, very coveted “plug of the week” award.

LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN !!!!!
