Recently I had entered a contest to remix a Richard Humpty Vission track called " Never let me down ", incase you are not familliar with who he is, basically a very well known and respected producer, dj and remix artist, he started as a group called the movement many years back and then went on to DJing MTV's the blame game for two seasons, doing remixes for artists such as, Madonna, Destiny's Child, Nelly Furtado, Filter and Felix da Housecat. Not to mention landing over thirty Top 10 hits on Billboard's Dance Music Chart (19 of them hitting the number one slot) and earning him a Grammy Remixer of The Year nomination.
So any way, after all the craziness and entries, it turns out I won the grand prize and my mix was chosen as the winner, what this entitled me to was various Sony software, live interviews on a california station that does a mix show in the evenings called Powertools and a live DJ set.
But more seems to be happening, I recieved an email from my contact with Sony (SPD), who explained they were printing a new Sony music software catalogue and wanted to showcase a few ACIDplanet artists, namely me being one of them.
In the documentation is explains they want me to endorse or explain what I like about using sony products and interview about how I produce, here is where it gets intersting, it also states I can promote ways I make my music aside from sony products ala saying I use a Scope system etc, of course tied into sony applications, but none the less I can say Creamwares name and plug them if I choose.
Whats interesting is that this catalogue will be printed (1) million copies for distrobution, not too shaby hehe.
I wonder what that could do for creamware or if they even want they're name used in a sony interview, I mean after all I did use SFP to produce the track that won hehe.
Interesting times ahead I guess
