Public Enemy on Jamglue!

Jamglue and Public Enemy announce The Amerikan Gangster Remix Contest, inviting fans to remix the group’s new single!

Amerikan Gangster - Contest Mix by publicenemy

The winners will be personally chosen by Public Enemy frontman Chuck D and longtime producer Gary G-Wiz. The contest runs through October 21st.

The Amerikan Gangster Remix Contest is Public Enemy’s way of bringing their fans directly into their music and the creative process that goes into making it. “The days of the few making music for the multitude are over,” says Gary G-Wiz, former member of the groundbreaking production team the Bomb Squad. “There is a lot of talent out there, and we try to get involved with anything that is showcasing the skills of up and coming music makers.”

As always, chop up the tracks, contribute your own vocals and beats, or add music and sound effects from the Jamglue library. Prizes include a limited edition portable media and DVD player from MediaStreet:

an autographed copy of How You Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul:

and the winning remix will be featured on the SLAMjamz website.

“We’ve done remix contests on past albums, but when I saw Jamglue’s tools and interface, I knew there were great possibilities there,” Gary G-Wiz adds.

So go show Chuck and Gary what you’ve got!
