What is it?
It's our 3rd Annual Remix Competition! Download the samples of the track below and make it into something totally unique. This year, Saeed Younan has contributed the source samples for his unreleased song "You Know I Got It". Younan has been DJing, producing, and remixing music for major and independent labels (including Addictive, Yoshitoshi, Star 69, Distinctive and Sondos) since the early 90's. He's had numerous Top 10 hits and a #1 spot on Billboard Dance chart (Celeda "The Underground"). He was also nominated for "Best Breakthrough DJ" in the 2003 DanceStar awards. Saeed will release his 3rd album in October on Star 69 Records titled "Saeed Younan Re Mixed".

The Rules
Members have until Midnight September 10, 2005 NYC Time to download the sound files, remix the track and upload it to InternetDJ. After September 10, the upload function will be closed and the remixes will be presented in the InternetDJ Voting Booth.

The Voting Process and Prizes
InternetDJ members and visitors are welcome to vote on all the uploaded tracks. The top three voted tracks are then delivered to Saeed, who will then select the winning order. The winner will receive a prize pack from Gemini DJ including the brand new CFX-20 Professional Touch-Sensitive CD Player, a pair of DJX-1 headphones and a special "DJ Bag" with lots of swag from InternetDJ and Gemini. (see prizes).

Get Going
1: Listen to Saeed Younan's original song "You Know I Got It".

2: Download the sample pack for "You Know I Got It" here (863KB).

The upload submission for remixes has now closed. InternetDJ will now prepare the voting booth for all valid remixes.
For the late-comers, we re-opened the upload form for the day.

4: The competition and uploading arena ends at Midnight September 10, 2005 NYC Time. The voting process will begin on September 15, 2005.

Tips and Guidelines
· Genres - This remix competition is not genre specific, remix the track in any style you want.
· Samples - We will be looking for clever usage of the samples given. What we don't want is to hear a completly different track that barely uses any of the original samples. Remember you are remixing this track so it needs to somewhat resemble the original.
· Vocals - Although not completely compulsory to the remix we will be looking favourably at tracks that incorporate a vocal element and/or a variation of the original vocal samples, so get creative.
· Length - Try to keep the track between 3 - 6 minutes.
· Usage - Usage of these samples and of your completed track are for this competition and this competition only. You are not allowed to use the sound samples in your own productions. You are not allowed to license your remix in any way (label, movie, online site etc.) You are not allowed to publish your remix on any sound carrier (CD, vinyl, website, tape etc.) You are not allowed to sell the sound samples of this remix kit. You are not allowed to distribute the sound samples of this remix kit. And finally you are not allowed to publish this remix to the internet anywhere other than the remix submission page on internetdj.com that includes posting it to your artist profile page, such uploads will be rejected.

Special Thanks...
