The winner of the competition is Italian production duo Dogma and you can check out their remix below, they will have their remix contribution featured on a special remix package that will receive a full digital release with Arcade Pony later in the summer, some A&M goodies, Arcade Pony bits and pieces + a very tasty secret prize.

Dogma is composed of Greg and Tommy, two degenerate 20 year old guys who got fed up with the elitist italian club scene and decided to make the world a better place by spreading their religion of techno-tropical fat bass beats. Greg started making tracks at the age of 15, and Tommy soon joined him in his home studio. After a while, they came up with their style of club sound, made up of simple melodies, percussive madness and banging drums, always with an unsophisticated attitude. Their influences range from 80s hip hop to death metal, nevertheless all of their songs sound like a bunch of gorillas on steroid bananas. Greg has also somehow managed to cofound RUN BVS, a group of dimwitted students who organize whack parties and events in Milan.

“Thanks to the hundred-and-twenty-something people who participated in that remix competition, it took us a bit of time to listen to everything while touring Australia and North America but we picked our top 5 remixes and put together a little selection of a few more cool remixes for you to dig out, complete with humble but hopefully helpful feedback courtesy of the Sound Pellegrino founding fathers Orgasmic and I + Dinosaurs with Guns OG producer Noob’s pick.

#1 – TWR72

Wins a spot on the Dinosaurs With Guns remix EP coming before the end of the summer!

Orgasmic’s opinion: really dope techno warehouse hit, we’ve been following Roger 72 for a while, I used to play his DJ DLG remix, he’s an excellent producer and I really like this new, more techy style of his.
Teki Latex’s opinion: I also remember The Walk & Roger 72 from the MySpace era. What a drastic change in style! This is awesome abrupt mountain climbing techno, it’s a great tool and an absolute weapon for DJs, this is definitely the remix I’m the most likely to play, great job!

#2 – Art Nouveau

Wins 50€ worth of Institubes/Sound Pellegrino items from the Institubes online store!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J15F9S8B

Orgasmic’s opinion: Really cool melody, has a bit of a white knight II vibe to it, sounds like a potential summer hit.
Teki Latex’s opinion: Art Nouveau are getting better with every track and they embrace their pop side more and more, while keeping it classy and housy, this is a success! Coincidentally this remix uses a bassline melody/harmony very similar to the DOP remix of Renaissance Man’s What is Guru, which proves great minds think alike.

#3 – Gloved Up

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0I1WOZ8X

Orgasmic’s opinion: sweet baile funk horns mixed with a nice housy vibe, love the melody
Teki Latex’s opinion: awesome bouncy house stomper. I just have a problem with the simpletext voice at the beginning. We needed something with wind instruments so that Roundtable Knights could play it :)

The Gloved Up remix is also Noob’s special pick! Kudos!

#4 – Broke One

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NNRZNEA4

Orgasmic’s opinion: really nice one, well produced and right in the vibe of the stuff we dig at the moment, only problem: too much synth in the breakdown
Teki Latex’s opinion: Super nice and original but gets a bit too heavy and repetitive towards the end

#5 – Clouds

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1LUZQXRN

Orgasmic’s opinion: Nice groove, solid remix
Teki Latex’s opinion: efficient and tool-esque but a bit too similar to the original

Places 6-12 after the jump.

#6 – Neitee and Yeutta

Orgasmic’s opinion: cool acid build up, i like it
Teki Latex’s opinion: good stuff but nothing too original

#7 – Wax Motif and Kato

Orgasmic’s opinion: not super original but very well produced and a bit of a big room guilty pleasure for us
Teki Latex’s opinion: caters to the proggy house lover inside of me. Different from what i was expecting from Waxy and Kato but still, it works! and it really stood out from the mass of dull techno remixes.

#8 – Poligono

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice but the synths come in too late
Teki Latex’s opinion: Very deep and good. I’ve been following Poligono for a while, they have great potential.

#9 – John Roman

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice but it feels like more of an edit
Teki Latex’s opinion: I like it and i can see why people would wanna play it, it’s a little bit too anonymous to be a winner though.

#10 – Starving Burgers

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice riff but a bit too repetitive
Teki Latex’s opinion: very promising and original italo vibe but i was waiting for a bit more stuff to happen

#11 – La Kustom

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice ideas in the vocal cut ups but something’s missing
Teki Latex’s opinion: quite cool but lacks a bit of soul and stomp

#12 – Kuti 77

Orgasmic’s opinion: original but kind of hesitating between styles, in a way that’s not confident enough.
Teki Latex’s opinion: I just like it because it reminds me of “drop it like it’s hot”, it has potential.

Here are the details:

Deadline is May 19th meaning that you’ll have exactly 3 weeks to turn in your entry.

Prizes:

Third place: Love, glory and respect all over the internets
Second place: The above + a voucher on the Institubes online store

A note from Jesse Rose; “A big thank you to everyone for entering the competition & sorry for the delay in posting up this message (we have all been on tour in the states for the last two weeks). We had so many great remixes & was really hard to choose a winner but in the end we decided on the remix that all the made to play artists wanted to play out, was produced to a quality we could release commercially and that fitted the label most. There was never a top ten as it would not be fair as there were literally hundreds that we loved but we did really enjoy stand out entries from Art Bleek, M.In, Spiller, Dan Daneeka, Darling Farah & Billy Disney. We hope y’all all enter the next comp coming soon & we’ll try & make the prize even better. big respect to you all.”
