Yes, Thank you Daniel! The remix contest is a level playing field. All contestants are given the same pieces to work with. The contest is designed to find the best remixer. Either you think you have what it takes to win or you don't. Those who don't will not enter. Simple as that. I have no respect for those who don't enter and then have to validate why they are not entering by bashing the contest. , Jonathan

If the car also steers to the right there is nothing wrong with the steering. :) But it does look like you are starting to understand what a remix contest is all about. It is like each contestant is building their own car. Beatport supplies some of the parts. Each car design will be different. So each designer will have to modify the parts accordingly. The Soul On Ice remix contest produced slow songs, fast songs, different rhythms, different tempos, different genres. There were Country versions, Rap versions, Ambient versions, Rock versions, Dance versions. You name it. Each version needed to be modified in it's own unique way. , Jonathan

Touch Yello 8-Track Album-Preview (Promo)

Yello sells music. That is their product. That is their property. Every person who downloads these free tracks without YELLO's permission or without paying for them is stealing. Each sale is Yello's property. You take that away from them you are stealing. My argument is based on facts. The definition of the word backs me up. The only thing backing you up is your opinion. Until you can bring some facts to the table I see no point in continuing.

Do you hear babies crying? The idea of a remix contest is to find the most creative, most talented DJ. They are looking for a DJ that can take any chunk of audio and edit it into a working loop or audio file and create an outstanding mix. If they gave us pre-edited loops and samples that anyone could drop into GarageBand they would have everyone and their brother entering the contest. They are "weeding out the chaff". They want serious DJs. All the files for the Soul On Ice Remix Contest were in rough cut .mp3 format and that contest delivered some amazing mixes. Many of which I still listen to today. 320kbs mp3 files are by no means "unusable". You are going to see some amazing remixes made in this contest and we are going to see DJs that work magic with these mp3 files. So anyone entering better be willing to get creative, work hard and bring their "A" game. Good luck to all of you, Jonathan

Great track! Lots of Yello sounds and pieces from Yello Lyrics. Nice that he still keeps a connection to Yello. Check out the track "Carried To Excess" he did with Boris Black (not Blank) He uses the line "You will find excess in the jungle" over and over. Another great track by Carlos.

Remix of Touch Yello Tracks

Hi all, I heard that Spencer and Hill were going to remix a song off of the new Touch Yello release - The Expert, I think....but until now, have seen nor heard nothing The only Remix I have heard is the Turntable Rockers take on Part Love.....which was OK, but you could hardly recognize any of the really nice parts of that song in it - just some of the lyrics in the background. My favorite so far to come out recently has been the *Remix of Tiger Dust*......wow! What an awesome remix....done of course by Yello, who can remix their songs PERFECTLY. But still, I'd like to hear Spencer and Hill's remix version, as well as any other big DJ or group remix.....! Does anyone know of any other names attached to doing remixes of the new *Touch Yello* release?? Daniel

I was a late-night DJ at WICN-FM and remember the day we received Yello's "Solid Pleasure" LP at the station. Since the Residents were a regular part of my weekly playlist, I paid special attention to ALL records we received from Ralph. Those included: Yello, Snakefinger, Tuxedomoon, Renaldo & The Loaf, Chrome, Nash The Slash, Rhythm & Noise and MX-80 Sound. Thanks to Ralph, a few of my favorites today are: Yello, Tuxedomoon, Nash The Slash and of course The Residents. (I'm still trying to find my Mac OS9 CD-ROM so I can play the Residents "Bad Day on the Midway" video game again!)
