I've just been reading about a competition to remix the song "Don't Stop Me Now", by Queen. I'm not particularly interested in the competition, although the prizes might interest any budding musos out there.

The competition has original 9 stub tracks from the final mix of the song available for download (for a limited time). These WAV file tracks can be imported into many types of recording software, such as Pro-Tools, or Cubase and then played together to reproduce the final mix of the song.

The competition is available on the link below (until December 13), and you can download the 9 WAVs, or hear them individually if you click on the "Participate" tab in this site:

For me, it is really interesting hearing this classic song broken down into it's individual elements. Although it feels wrong somehow, It's quite tempting now to start bastardising it - perhaps a bit of wobble-bass wouldn't hurt, would it? Good luck if you decide to have a go.
