Great back-scratches coming in at realworldremixed

An amazing day's listening at Real World Remixed.

As regular contributor AndreasF says "Is there any upload not a "Hotpick" today? I don't think so. I can't remember a day in history of RWR with so many high quality remixes in it."

This one from Marcoos (SAE London Graduate, Looking for co-op with people from all around the world:) is well worth a listen, but so are the day's other submissions.

Thanks to all contributing mixes and anyone who has a moment to listen, comment, vote and get involved in the project.

Remixers scratch Peter's back - and Charlie's too.

An interesting day for remixes at Real World Remixed.

Although we have not officially announced any competition rules as yet, we are working on them. It looks like we will try to make 3 or 4 Peter Gabriel tracks available in conjunction with the Digital 45 releases on iTunes this year. The intention is then to pull some form of release together with the best mix based on each sample pack. More information will follow as the plan firms up.

Be part of 'Scratch My Back' Remix 'Not One Of Us'

Peter Gabriel's 'Not One of Us' is taken from one of Q Magazine's top 100 Greatest British Albums. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, this album of May 1980 features Jerry Marotta and Phil Collins drumming, the guitar of Robert Fripp, David Rhodes, Paul Weller and XTC's Dave Gregory. The album produced the 1980 hit single "Games Without Frontiers", and the anthemic "Biko".

'Not One Of Us' is made available here as part of Peter's 'Scratch My Back' project of reciprocal covers. On the record of the same name Peter has covered 'The Book of Love' by The Magnetic Fields, in return Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic fields chose to cover 'Not One Of Us'. In the spirit of the project Peter is making his original version available to the wider world here on Real World Remixed.

Remixes of 'Not One Of Us' will be part of a competition - details of which we can't yet reveal.
