When the Crookers first starting pumping out the remixes they could do no wrong. Now they tend to have more misses than hits, though I have to say their attempt at remixing U2 had pretty much zero chance of being any good. Well if you’d like to show them how it’s done here’s your chance. Man Recordings is holding a remix competition. They want you to remix the Crookers track Social Ali Baba, which features Baile Funk MC Dandão. This competition is coinciding with a release of a compilation album called Funk Mundial. That album is released April 20, which is also the date submissions are due so you better get on it fast. The reward for the best three remixes is being digitally released by Man Recordings, where you will share in the sales as well as receiving some other unspecified goodies, which to me sounds like stickers and badges. So the prizes don’t sound as good as those for the Damn Arms remix competition that is currently being run but I’d say the international profile gained by the winning remixes will be a pretty decent prize.
