We are The Hardcore Overdogs - Remix Competition

Come out of ye covers, ya wolves and dogs!
We are calling (howling) for a remix competition of The Hardcore Overdog anthem(s).

The Hardcore Overdogs are an E-Zine for great and / or underrated Hardcore Techno past and present!

https://thehardcoreoverdogs.blogspot.com/

We released several anthems to promote the magazine and the ideas it stands for, and are looking for artists that want to embody this hardcore spirit, too.

"Rules:"

1. There are five anthems (so far) and you can choose which one you want to remix - or remix several.

You can download the stems here: https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-hardcore-overdogs-remix-competition

You don't need to use all of the samples - in fact, it would be interesting if you recreated some of the melodies and sounds, or even vocals, "on your own" and use that instead.

(yes, there is only 1 stem for the 5th track)

2. You can send in three remixes in total.

3. The deadline is 20.12.2025 (short deadline)

4. Your remix can be any style or sound, Oldschool, Gabber, Acid, Doom, Techno, even other electronic or non-electronic genres (vgm? black metal? funk?)
We'd prefer it if it wasn't Uptempo, Mainstyle, etc - though :-)

5. If it's possible, it should somehow embody The Hardcore Overdogs spirit. Tracks should be bold, underdoggy, crazy, out-of-the-usual... be your "freak" self when producing them!

6. We don't do mastering - if you want your track to be mastered, you need to do that yourself. But we assume that the tracks that get sent in are good enough to be released without mastering, so your track does not need to be mastered if you want to submit one.

7. The finished tracks should be sent to:

low.entropy.80@gmail.com

with subject "Remix Competition" (best as a download link to file hoster).

Further questions, inquiries, comments, can be sent to that e-mail address, too.

Strict deadline - if your track is not finished, we can't include it.

You can choose between these 5 anthems:

1. Hardcore Like The Wolf
2. Topp Dogg
3. Hakken With Wolves
4. We Are The Hardcore Overdogs
5. Drum Test (120-2000 bpm)

And now, ya Hardcore Overdogs, have fun with the remixes.

Woof!
