New single: The Next Step

Lost Shadow — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:31:55 +0000

Today, the new Lost Shadow single The Next Step has been officially released on iTunes, TuneTribe, Emusic, Amazon. It will soon also arrive to 7digital, Spotify and Bandcamp. The single is released as a digital-only and features fabulous remixes by !PAUS3, DJ Seitz and nYnK, as well as the b-side The Simplicity of Nothing. We personally think that this is one of the hottest tracks of the year, and complemented by three very different remixes and a contrastingly sweet b-side this is a release you shouldn’t miss. Track listing as follows:

The Next Step (Original Mix)
The Next Step (!PAUS3 #OCP Mix)
The Next Step (DJ Seitz Remix)
The Simplicity of Nothing
The Next Step (nYnK Remix)
The Next Step (Extended Mix)
The Next Step (Dub Mix)

The single precedes the upcoming singles and b-sides collection Asides and Besides which is to be released in the next few days. We thank !PAUS3, DJ Seitz and nYnK for their fantastic contributions to this release! So, what now? Well, head over and buy the single using the following links:

Remix contest winner

Lost Shadow — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:39:45 +0000

We have spent the last week going through the collection of entries we received for the remix contest, and we are now very happy and proud to announce that we have selected a winner. In the end, it became a very tough race between our two personal favorites, Oraku and The Argyle Raver. Complicating the matter further, after we selected Oraku’s remix of the track The last song we will sing for the digital single officially released today, Oraku provided us with a stunning remix of The last love affair, which we also just love. This should be compared to the Argyle Raver’s remix of Returning to the Crystal Garden, which grows fabulously in its extended version. All in all, this became an extremely tough choice.

However, we needed to pick a winner, and we have settled with naming Oraku as the winner of the grand prize of the remix contest, for his work on The last love affair, which can be heard on Oraku’s Soundcloud page. Congratulations to Oraku, great work!

This track was, however, not finished in time to be selected for the Lost Shadow single released today. Instead, Oraku’s remix of The last song we will sing will be the leading track of the single, with The Argyle Raver’s short version of Crystal Garden as a b-side.

Finally, we have selected a number of remixes that will be included on the upcoming Lost Shadow remix album. These are (in no particular order):

The last song we will sing (Oraku Remix)

Wheels (!PAUS3 Remix)

The last love affair (The Kratz Remix)

Crystal Garden (The Argyle Raver Extended Remix)

The last love affair (Oraku Remix)

The remix album will, in addition to these remixes, contain mixes by The Trance Line Project, Aragorn and Shane Wittig. More news to follow on the remix album soon, so stay tuned!

Lastly, we would like to thank everybody who has participated and submitted entries to the contest. Most entries we have received have been of very high quality, and it wasn’t easy to only select a few for the album. Thanks for your contribution, we look forward to collaborating with all of you again.

Seven Days Left

Lost Shadow — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 19:30:48 +0000

There are now only seven days left in the remix contest. We already have gotten a number of great remixes, but we think there is still room for some more! All info needed to enter the contest can be found here. Good luck! Deadline is next Monday, the 15th of August.

Remix contest: What’s next?

Lost Shadow — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 11:16:29 +0000

Those who submitted remixes for the remix contest might wonder what will happen next. Within the next few days, we will reach out via e-mail to those of you who are considered for the promotional single. We will then compile and master a single release that will hopefully go live on iTunes etc. by the beginning of September. After the 15th of August (the final contest deadline) we will announce the grand remix contest winner, along with all the entries that will be included on the remix album. The actual album will be available by the end of September.

Remember that there is still time to submit remixes for the album, even though these remixes will not be considered for the promotional single. Good luck!

Remix deadlines tomorrow

Lost Shadow — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 07:19:11 +0000

Remember that tomorrow is the last day to submit your remix to us if you want to be included on the promotional single. Send your creation to: phonocratic (at sign) gmail (dot) com
We prefer that you send you file via some kind of sharing service, in as high quality as possible (maximum quality should be CD-quality: 44.1 kHz, Stereo, 16 bit). Any normally used format is okay, but AIFF, WAV, or FLAC is preferred. If you send the file attached to an e-mail, be sure to compress the file to be no larger than 10 MB, and we will get back to you so we can agree on how to send an uncompressed version of the remix. In your mail, please state how you want to be credited in the liner notes, your complete name and artist name, the complete name of the remix, and whether you’d like to be considered for being selected for the promotional single. The deadline to be part of the remix album is still the 15th of August. Good luck!
