Summer Remix Contest 2020

Vintage King'S Summer Remix Contest Is Officially Over! Meet Our Winners Below!

Thank you to every single contestant who took the time to create a remix and submit their work to the Summer Remix Contest. Our guest judges have listened to your entries and they've chosen their top three remixes. Did you win Focal Shape 65 monitors or a Vintage King gift card? Check here.

We’re back again with another chance for you to show off your remixing prowess.

That’s right, Vintage King’s Summer Remix Contest is here!

Once again, we’ve brought together several master music makers to act as our judges and they are offering up source files for contestants to remix to their heart’s content. You have the option of selecting the track you’d like to remix and must complete your work by August 4th, 2020.

Vintage King’s team of in-house engineers will select the top 20 entries from each song category and we will share these remixes with our judges. Each judge will listen to the final tracks in their category and select a first, second, and third place mix.

For our Summer Remix Contest, we’ll be giving the first-place winner in each category a pair of Focal Shape 65 monitors.

Designed for nearfield applications, these monitors feature several signature Focal innovations, including an M-shaped inverted dome tweeter, flax sandwich cone, and tuned mass damper.

This time, we aren’t letting our second and third place winners get away without giving them something as well. Second place winners in each category of the Summer Remix Contest will receive a $550 gift card to Vintage King and third place winners will receive one for $250.
