Anti-Pop Consortium remix contest winners!

 We're very excited to announce the winner of the Anti-Pop Consortium "Reflections" remix contest! It was extremely difficult to pick -- we received 50 submissions from all over the world that reimagined APC's innovative hip-hop in a kaleidoscope of styles and unclassifiable genres. And this was not an easy song to remix, we're very impressed by all of the talent that's out there. Here's a note from Anti-Pop Consortium:

Thanks to all of the artists that took the time and effort to create these hot remixes. Each remix had a different approach which made it difficult to decide on a winner. The arrangements and attention to detail were very impressive. And if you were brave enough to incorporate the "tempo change ending" we salute you!

It was a pleasure to listen and we wish you all much success in your future musical endeavors...Thank you.

-Anti-Pop Consortium

Thank you to Anti-Pop Consortium for enabling all of this creativity to take place, to their manager Joseph and to Leslie at Ninja Tune/Big Dada.

Dylan Going's 12 minute remix should have won by a landslide.
