# Electronic Beats and Volkswagen present The Yellofier Remix Contest
# **UPDATE: The competition is now closed.**
**Congratulations to the winner, Adriano Capizzi from Bischofszell,
Switzerland. You can listen to his winning entry [here][1]{:

**The Rhythm Divine**
Things that make us say, "*Ohhhh yeaahhh*": [the Yellofier app][2]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"}, a collaborative piece of technology
from [Yello][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}'s Boris Blank and
Swedish producer [Håkan Lidbo][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}
released last year. As you can imagine, a tool that turns any sample you
care to take into music is definitely something that holds our interest.
In fact, you might have seen the booths (yellow, of course) that we set
up for testing the app at one of last year's [EB Festivals][5]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"}. But now we gotta say yes to another
excess: our first collaboration with Volkswagen, The Yellofier Remix
Contest!
**How How**
Using **only** the tools of a specially-created edition of the Yellofier
app (download it for [iOS][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} or
[Android][7]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"})---drum computer,
sequencer, special effects, and sampler---we invite you to remix Yello's
song "Move, Dance, Electrified". Feel free to experiment and make your
own field recordings with the app's sampler, as well. The effects and
sounds can easily be modified by your own hand, thanks to the intuitive,
easy-to-use interface. Once your remix is done, upload it to
[Yellofier.com][8]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} via Soundcloud and
spread the word---the best tracks will be decided by the number of votes
listeners give it, so make sure to tell your friends! Get enough votes
and your remix will be added to the Top 50 list, from which a panel of
judges---including Yello as well as members of Electronic Beats and
Volkswagen---will select the contest's winner.
**Unbelievable**
The winner of the contest will receive not one, but *all* of the
following:
* A new Volkswagen e-up! city car
* A trip to an Electronic Beats Festival of their choice
* An invitation to electrified! the e-mobility-weeks by Volkswagen club
nights in Berlin to present the track with Yello
* Remix releases on the Electronic Beats Compilation---as well as a
special Volkswagen compilation---along with the best songs
**Do It**
The Yellofier Remix Contest takes place in conjunction with the app's
Android-launch and electrified! the e-mobility-weeks by Volkswagen in
Berlin from March 8th until the 21st. Both the app and contest
participation are free of charge and open to all, professionals and
amateurs alike, but the competition closes on February 28th---so get
remixing! And keep track of the action via the [Facebook page][9]{:
