Manuel Fuentes Competition Results - ... and the winners are

[crazyxray]

Hi together,
Finally the remix competition of Manuel Fuentes tracks is over now!
We have got a total number of 796 votes from peoples outside.
That is more than we have expected. Wow.
Thanks a lot for this great support.
Today we have added the other 50% of the voting from Manuel himself and the labels side.
This means we finally have about 1600 votes in the whole process.

The competition was hard and it was even harder to add our votes to the results to get the winners.
Because there where too much good reworks to release them all we have decided to release some
more than the 8 tracks with the most votes.
But these ones will not be released on vinyl.
We will release them online only as net releases.
Tracks will be available in about 40 different online stores and on our homepage.

First of all we will release 4 tracks of the net releases in April then 4 in May and then the last 2 ones in June.
And last but not least we will release the 8 best voted reworks on 2 different Vinyl EPs after the summer break.
This means the end of August.

And here are the winners:

Australian Bodycare
DJ Shiva Rework - Winner 1
Detfella Rework - Winner 2

Ogi Rework - Net release
The Germ Rework - Net release
Antonio Lugo Rework - Net release

Drug User
Ende Rework - Winner 1
Brad Lee Rework - Winner 2

Sascha Müller Rework - Net release
Alex Long Rework - Net release

Flamenco
Tadox Rework - Winner 1
Lau Rework - Winner 2

Van Max Rework - Net release
Alex Long Rework - Net release

Northern Darkness
Trinity Rework - Winner 1
Smekbar Rework - Winner 2

Brad Lee Rework - Net release
Markusalan Rework - Net release
MMB Rework - Net release

We will get in touch with the winners within the next days again to discuss the mastering quality
and the needed file format to release the stuff in highest possible quality.
Thanks again to all the competition members.
Watch out for the remix releases. All the best.

Well I'm an trying ot get in contact with Crazy to submit my final Version of Drug User, but all of the emails I send to anyone with a giant and dwarf address is being returned. Anyone know how to get in contact with them??? I hope that I didn't spend 60+ hours of my time on this thing for them to not be around anymore.... :neutral:

[BRADLEE]

Any ideas anyone??? I was asked to re-master the tune, but instead I just re-wrote it. Which my new remix sounds 3000% better than my original. And since I put so much effort into this as being my first release, I'm kind of stressing on not being able to get in contact with them....

[dan the acid man]

did they give you a deadline date or anything

[BRADLEE]

I already won the contest Dano. Crazy just told me we are pressing it in August. So he said to have it done in July. Which it isn't even the middle of the month yet. So I don't think that would be an issue.

it's odd, the normal Giant and Dwarf page is down, Crazy's website is down, and all of the contact emails from the GAD-EXCELL page are beign returned as invalid recipiants.....

That is why I'm stressing....

[eyes without a face]

if the competition is still on then im sure they'l get in touch mate

its all one big waiting game !

[BRADLEE]

Yeah I know it's all a big hurry up and wait sort of thing, but with the circumstances of the sites being down and those email accounts not being valid, it raises questions to me....

[eyes without a face]

re the rest, could just be an unpaid bill or something affecting the services, or a server fault?

if the label had gone belly up or the releases were cancelled im sure they'd get in touch?

really liked the remix u did dude lookin forward to the vinyl

[BRADLEE]

Yeah man I hope that's all it is. Thanks for the compliment too Scott. The new remix is much better too. So I think many more people will like it for sure.

[dan the acid man]

yeah, maybe all their emails and wbsite is used on one server, so maybe down for some reason

[BRADLEE]

You guys are probably right and more than likely I'm just freaking out for nothing... :lol:

[koma]

Yes thank you very much Martin. I am in touch with him right now, thanks to your help. I appreciate it greatly homie. His fast food links are working, but there is something wrong with the GAD server.

Hey mates,
that´s exactly what it is. But all the well known GAD sites and addresses
will be active again within the next 10 days. I have moved my flat the last
weeks. The private one as well as the office one. On monday we will re-start
all the activities. No worries at all, everything will be done like it was planed
by us. Just the Fast Food RMXS release date will change a bit cause we
are talking to several distributors right now. Straight distribution was just
too bad and we will not work on with them anymore.

More news soon.

By the way: There is the Giant & Dwarf 011 upcoming.
You will find it in all the shops pre sale within the next days.
Have a look for the complete thread about it:
