Maroon 5 Remix Contest

Maroon 5 are set to release their new CD December 9th 2008, “Call & Response: The Remix Album” – a concept album where they put the call out to their favorite artists and this is how they responded with remixes of their favorite tracks from both of their multiplatinum releases.
Now you have the same opportunity as artists like Pharrell Williams, ?uestlove, Cut Copy and Swizz Beatz. For the first time ever we’re making the stems from the hit single “If I Never See Your Face Again” available to the public and giving you the full creative control to remix the song.
Once the votes are tallied, the person with the winning remix will be flown to Miami to DJ at the Remix Hotel on the Beatport stage during the Winter Music Conference!!
