Public Enemy Remix Contest Announced
M-Audio has teamed with Public Enemy and Obey to host a remix competition. The Public Enemy Remix Contest challenges musicians to create an original remix of an a cappella version of the group’s track, “Harder Than You Think,” from their current album. Chuck D and Johnny Juice of Public Enemy will judge entries uploaded to the M-Audio website, and the winner will receive a complete home studio setup from M-Audio.
The winning remix will also be released on 12-inch vinyl by Obey Records.

All profits from the vinyl sale will be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
