Last week we launched a remix competition for Scottish indie dance group Franz Ferdinand’s yet unreleased track, ‘Ulysses’.

After a week of downloading the parts of the tune, contestants are now free to upload finished remixes.

If you’re running behind schedule, you can still download the parts and participate-- click through for those links and full competition rules now.

The method

Two remix parts are available to download for free, and there’s also a premium bundle for sale for $3.99 containing all the parts to ‘Ulysses’.

Participants are free to remix the track into whatever genre they like, and the top remix will be released on Domino Records.

As usual, the Beatport and Beatportal community will have the chance to vote for the best submitted remixes by ‘spinning’ their favorites.
