Big Yellow Hand Remix Contest

Grand Prize Winner

 "This was one of the most difficult contests we have judged - lots of effort went into these remixes. There was just something about the Black Ice 9 'Chaos and Evolution' Remix - it was raw and unexpected. Because there were far to many good mixes to place in a 'best of contest' list, I have to say congratulations to everyone that entered."

About the Contest

Hailing from the great city of Chicago Illinois, Big Yellow Hand is an industrial record label, studio, and more.

Up for mixing this time around is a selection of samples from Big Yellow Hand’s industrial library titled ‘Sonic Doom’ featuring beastly bass riffs, nasty noises, sinister synths and other assorted filthy filtered folly. The best mixes will be released worldwide through the Experimental Division Nashville and shopped for film, television, and video game licensing deals - so take your time and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty.

About the Band

“When we were kids, there was a tree in our town that had yellow leaves all the time, no matter what the season. It was shaped just like a hand coming out of the ground. My brother Rich and I thought it had some kind of divine powers. We were in our early teens when Rich decided to climb the Big Yellow Hand. Me and a few of our gang watched as he climbed all the way to the top. At over three stories high, I watched in horror as Rich lost his grip and began to fall. But instead of plummeting to earth like a stone, he merely tumbled from branch to branch, all the way to the ground like some form of human pinball where he was gently deposited in a three-foot-high shrub at the bottom of the tree. He promptly stood up and said "Wow, what a rush!" and tried it again. None of us thought that he would be as lucky the second time, but again, and in front of at least five other kids, Rich was lazily tossed from bough to bough, and again, deftly came to rest in the shrub. It became a meeting place for Rich and I and anyone else we wanted to hang out with after school or dinner. It just kind of stuck with me as a symbol of a higher power at work right in our own neighborhood.”
