The winning entry is the Chains remix! Check out the Top 5 post for all of the entries! CONGRATULATIONS from all of us at electrotrash! HAEZER had this to say about the competition as well as the winning entry:
“After listening to all the remixes over and over and also playing to peers and management I’ve finally come to an answer.
Although I love all the remixes in the Top 5 I decided on the Chains remix for it’s originality and creativity.
I would like to thank everyone that took part in the comp and hope you get all the blog love and exposure you deserve for the remixes… and even though I chose Chains I’ll definitely drop the other remixes in my sets as well.
Props to everyone that was involved in this comp, especially electrotrash for all the support and good luck to all the producers for 2010… keep up the good work and banging tracks.
peace
e”
He sent us this awesome new track of his for you to download as thanks! Grab it below!
After a long hiatus the Red Bull Music Studio column on Electrotrash is back. To kick things off for the new year we present a video made for the workshop conducted with french electro-rocker Toxic Avenger when he came out last year to play at Assembly and the Alex. Toxic’s link to SA comes from his remix of Playdoe and you’ll see that Sibot and Spoek are quite prominent in this video.
On that note we head over to Red Bull Music Academy Radio to take a look at another french maître de la musique électronique, Djedjotronic who incidentally has also worked with Spoek Mathambo. This mix recorded live at the Pantiero festival in Cannes is a strong signifier of the current sound of banging electro: a mad tapestry of rave, distortion, afro-rhythms and the hype energy you expect when you listen to someone off Boys Noize records.
So the HAEZERremix competition has closed and the man himself has chosen the Top 5 entries. Choosing only one is a difficult task and thus is asking for your help. Download the 5 tracks and then let us know which one you like the most via our handy poll!
Jonathan from Tigerstrike sent me a new track of theirs! It’s been too long since these incredibly talented electro-rockers were up on the front page of electrotrash!
Grab the track below… it is has a haunting, synthpop’ish melody that I couldn’t stop whistling and when combined with their indie vocals it’s a pretty rad sound!
Here is the first Bon Jovi Friday Mix of 2010… The mixes will be posted monthly (for now) on a Thursday at midday for all of you that are having a Bon Jovi Friday to enjoy… Watch the video to see what we mean!
This first mix was done by the dirtyoldDisco (dirtyoldman and myself) and is a pretty nicely balanced banging (just over an) hour of music with a smooth build-up! Listen to it and let us know what you think!
HAEZER emailed me this morning with an important message! There were loads of downloads of the separates for the remix competition but not that many entries so we have decided to give you an extension until the end of January!
So new deadline… January 31 2010!
Click here for all the details on the competition and grab the separates on that post as well!
We hope to receive a lot more remixes by then!
Grab this banging edit HAEZER did of Sebastian for some inspiration!

Some of you may have heard that Johnny Foreigner will be touring South Africa this year. While this UK indie rock band may be pretty far removed from electronic music we still though it would be rad to promote it a bit here. Griet are bringing them into the country and they represent a couple of the artists on electrotrash so yeah, spread the love!
They have put together a promo sampler for you to download, along with album art that you can print out to make a complete package! Grab it below!
