THE BPA: Toe Jam video competition!

I hope some of you went out there and made me proud by doing up your own BPA "Toe Jam" remix... personally I was tied up with work and the aforementioned Frankmusik remix that won't see the light of day for a while lol. If you didn't get the chance to knock that out of the park, or your forte is more in the visual arena, well I've got something special for ya...

Here's the press...
The BPA has teamed up with Dailymotion and go live with a NEW contest: a video competition. We all went crazy this summer with the incredibly novel "Toe Jam" video, so here's a chance for everyone to crack out their video/editing skill set and figure out a new frame for Cook, Byrne and Dizzee to do their Toe Jam. So, head on over to the contest site http://www.dailymotion.com/group/toejam and check out the details!

So what are you waiting for? Get on it! Once again, I need somebody out there to say I put them on some life changing stuff lol... do it up! But seriously, I look forward to what everyone comes up with.

On another note, the album "I Think We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat" is so damn awesome I can't see how it could do anything less than be a crazy huge album all over the globe. I mean, America doesn't tend to catch on to 'dance albums', but this is not a dance album... it's a multi genre, multi artist, totally different approach to a musical project that no doubt will do well here in the States as well as abroad. But that's just my initial two cents. I'm sure you're all counting down the days til the release! It's worth the wait, trust me on that...

Here's some links... be back in a few!

THE BPA WANT YOU... to remix "Toe Jam"!

Remember the days when your aspiring DJ/producer self said "Man, if I could only get the vocal/instrumental to this song I could totally do a remix better than DJ Whoever! Man I'd never be so lucky..."

Well, along with the handiness of Web 2.0, and the different chatter and cultural changes across the various intrawebs your time to shine has become a regular occurrence! So much so that I don't even have time to remix all the songs I get stems for (regardless of deadlines you'll still see a "3 Little Words" remix and a State Crime "Reckoner" remix outta me before the end of this decade lol)...

With all that said, The BPA "Toe Jam" remix contest is in full effect! You now have the chance to remix the arguably the biggest hit of the year right from your bedroom/dormroom/basement/bunker and actually get your name out there...

Check out the contest site or see the recent posts from two of the concert sponsors BIGSTEREO and Discobelle for more on this shinfig....

Unlike SOME remix contests this one is a freebie! All the individual tracks are there for you to use however you wold like. The best part of all this is that the winners will be chosen by Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim), himself! He's a fucking cool guy, he is, so I'm sure he's open to that Gabber techno remix you're thinking up right now lol... I mean you may not win but at least he might hear it ;)

Completed remixes must be received on or by January 1, 2009. There's already one remix DONE so obviously you need to step up your game right now... especially because if I'm not going to win this damn thing... one of you needs to! And then tell me that you won because I yelled at you. This will validate my existence!

This will be a repost now... I'm not sure they'd want me posting the single again but I'm sure everyone's cool with the 'Database Remix' filling in the uninitiated...

The BPA- "Toe Jam (Database Remix)"

Just in case you're coming in late on this one here's the best video of the year hands down of the track you're about to remix...


Ok, go out and make me proud!
