Beatport To-Go

Robyn featuring Röyksopp remix contest

Robyn featuring Röyksopp remix contest

In 2007, Robyn’s anthemic dance ballad ‘With Every Heartbeat’ reached number one in the UK, and the following year her Grammy-nominated album ‘Robyn’ went on to reach platinum status. How do you top that? Now the diminutive Swede is set to release a triple album in three installments. ‘Body Talk Pt 1’ picks up where ‘Robyn’ left off, with the emphasis on those sweeping, emotional dance tracks and the biting, quirky electro pop with which she made her name.

For Beatport’s next remix contest, Robyn is offering producers parts to ‘None Of Dem’, her collaboration with Röyksopp from her ‘Body Talk Pt 1’ album.

“The track which became ‘None Of Dem’ started as a beat which I already had, and loved, so it was obvious it would develop into something more,” says Robyn. “It is a really important track on ‘Body Talk Pt 1.’ Lots of people are really into it, we thought it would be interesting to see how others would reinterpret it by giving them the opportunity to remix the track!”

The opportunity

Starting June 15th, 2010, Beatport users are able to download the remix parts of Robyn’s ‘None Of Dem’, and then remix it, before uploading it to Beatportal for the voting round.

The prizes

The winners will be divided into 2 categories; 10 user voted (based on the highest number of spins) and 10 editor’s favorites (picked by Beatport’s internal music staff). From these 20 nominees, Robyn and Konichiwa Records will choose their favorite winning remix, to be released on their label as well as receive a $200 Beatport gift card and Native Instrument’s Maschine.
