Notes From The Band
The "Test_Pilot_Mix" stood out to us as the winner due to the fact that it retained the integrity of the original track while bringing in its own style at the same time. Some remixes stray so far from the original that it's just a way for another artist to piggy back on the success of a certain track, and other remixes stick too close to the original to barely lend any originality from the remixers own talent. Test_Pilot_Mix did a great job of taking key elements of the track and building a somewhat epic adventure of the original.
We greatly appreciate everyone's efforts and hope that we cross paths when we tour next year.
Grand Prize Winner
It's epic, fits well with the vibe of the song and album to be released, good build with creative editing and reworking of the original lead synths. It works well for ambient or for dance, and you can mix in and out with it.

ACIDplanet™…always bringing you the latest and greatest…and more.
LOTS more this time. We’ve hooked up with Test Shot Starfish not only for a remix contest, but a killer new loop library, Modular Electronica. TSS delivers incredibly forward-thinking IDM, electronica, and experimental music. Beyond progressive. Mind-blowing stuff.
If your psyche can handle it, here’s the TSS deal: they’ve offered up “Autopilot” from their forthcoming CD release. They’ve also included the “Autopilot” parts on Modular Electronica. The zexy part? Modular Electronica contains even more “Autopilot” parts – there’s a remix on the loop library! You don’t need the library for the remix contest – there’s plenty of good, juicy stuff right here, free for the taking. But if you truly want to dig deep into the TSS sound…we’re just saying.
If you’re a fence-straddling kind of guy, check out the promo on Modular Electronica. A little sweetener might help you take the plunge. Exclusively at ACIDplanet.
We’re kind of excited about this one. Exciting band. Exciting new loop library. Exciting prizes. Exciting times indeed.
Check out these incredible prizes from our incredible sponsors!!
About the Band
The experimental multimedia entity known as Test Shot Starfish was formed in 1999 by producers Kyle Schember and Ryan Stuit, both known for removing electronic music from its underground club environment and bringing performance art to outdoor arenas, gardens, and museums. Test Shot Starfish fuse together a myriad of styles and influences, including the Orb, Orbital, Plaid, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, resulting in an eclectic blend of electronica, techno and ambient music that inspires a sensory experience. Their most recent multimedia project, TerraByte 2.0, featured collaborations with architects, musicians, and visual artists at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and the Spitzer Science Center.For more information:

Tips
At 12:00 a.m. midnight PST on Saturday, December 30, 1899, the contest will be closed and no further uploads will be accepted. If you are new to ACIDplanet, you should create an account and upload a song as soon as possible so that you can work out any problems with uploading that you may encounter. Also, uploading a song can take a considerable amount of time. It's better not to wait until the last few hours of the contest to start uploading your entry.
Entrants must upload a Windows Media format or Real Media format version of their entry first. You will not be able to upload any additional formats after the contest closes, so if also you want to upload an mp3 version, please allow enough time to upload them both before the contest closing time.
Entrants must provide accurate contact information (valid e-mail and postal address) in their registration at ACIDplanet.com for the purpose of contacting winners. You can update your contact information here.
Contest Content Help
No Links? If you do not see the "zip" links to the contest loops, it may be because you are running firewall or security software with Ad Blocking turned on. If so, please temporarily turn it off and the links should appear.
What is the .acd file in the sample remix? The .acd file is an ACID project file that contains a sample remix made from eight to ten of the contest loops. It can help you learn how to use ACID, or give you ideas about remixing the track. You don't need to use it, but you'll at least want to download the sample remix so that you get the loops.
Can't open the ACID project file? The ACID project file (.acd file) is in ACID 5.0 format. It can be opened in ACID 5.0, but not in previous versions of ACID. If you using a previous version of ACID and you wish to view this file, you can either upgrade or download the current version ACID XPress in the Tools area of this page. However, you do not need to view the .acd file to enter the contest. You can simply use the loops in any version of ACID or in any other software.
