Announcing Innerzone Orchestra’s Bug In The Bass Bin Remix Contest

Announcing Innerzone Orchestra’s Bug In The Bass Bin Remix Contest

If ever there were a song that needed no introduction, it’d be ”Bug in the Bass Bin,” recorded by Carl Craig under his Innerzone Orchestra alias.

Originally released on Craig’s Planet E label in 1992, it was an absolute game-changer, resonating far beyond the bounds of Detroit techno once pioneering junglists like Goldie got their hands on it, playing it at 45 and incorporating its shuddering syncopations into the foundations of drum ‘n’ bass.

The record has been remixed and reissued many times in the past 19 years; now Beatport and Planet E are offering you the opportunity to become a part of its history, with the “Bug in the Bass Bin” Remix Contest.

The winner will have his or her remix released on Planet E, and will also take home a prize package including Native Instruments Maschine Mikro, iZotope Stutter Edit, the Sounds To Sample Elements Library, and $200 in Beatport credit.

It’s an incredible opportunity to make your mark on one of the most iconic tracks in dance music. Download the parts on Beatport here, and get started— the submission process opens Tuesday, November 22 and closes on Monday, December 5. Read on for the full rules and regulations.

UPDATE: The winner announcement is delayed, stay tuned and we’ll post updates as soon as possible.
