Mint Records' Hot Panda is just a few short days from the release of their sophomore album! How Come I'm Dead? comes out next Tuesday and you'll find dreamy noise, circus freak dance numbers, heartbreaking country ballads with screeching metal guitar solos, lovely pop harmonies, psychedelic drones, and straight up pop/rock numbers. Recently added to this year's CMJ Music Marathon, the band is inviting fans, friends and musicians to try their hand at remixing the album's lead single, "Mindlessnesslessness".
Now, what are you waiting for? Grab and share the song stems for the remix and start your creation. Send your completed remix to info@mintrecs.com by November 12th. The winner shall receive a prize pack of Hot Panda goodness including a t-shirt, vinyl, the band's signature hot sauce and, here's the big one, their remix will be included on the upcoming Mint Records compilation. Runners up will be posted on the Mint Records and Hot Panda websites.
To celebrate the upcoming release of No Snare (out June 8th on K Records) Melanie Valera is giving away the tracks to the first single, "Only The Sounds You Made", to the world to let their minds run free with them. The best remixes will be featured on her website and her favorite two will get the loving 7" vinyl treatment! Want to rave it up, layer it in a sea of dub echo, give it a dirty south treatment... let your imagination run wild! Completed songs should be sent to onlythesoundsyoumade@gmail.com by June 2nd.
