Horace Andy remix competition

UPDATE: This competition is now closed. The winner will be announced on July 13th 2009.

ChoiceCuts are proud to announce a worldwide exclusive remix competition using the vocals of the Studio One legend, Massive Attack collaborator and Dancehall innovator Horace Andy.

Strut & ChoiceCuts are giving you the opportunity to remix the Horace Andy/Ashley Beedle ‘Watch We’ track from the Inspiration Information series on Strut.

The vocal acapella from the song is available to download below along with various elements of the tune. We want you to build your own unique track behind Horace’s amazing vocals and let his producer Ashley Beedle decide who has created the best remix. Add you own beats, instrumentals, flip an old version/riddim or re-interpret the different audio tracks below - whatever is clever, we want to hear how good you can make Horace sound.  (We’re looking for original, innovative remixes here and not a re-edit so get your thinking caps on…)
