As of right now, Chicago math-folk group Maps & Atlases have a new EP out exclusively on iTunes called Living Decorations, but if just listening to music doesn’t quite fulfill your creative needs, and if you happen to be a bit of a competitor, AND if you’re a big Maps & Atlases fan, then it seems the stars have aligned!
Maps & Atlases are currently hosting a remix competition, it which you, the participant, are charged with remixing selected songs from the band’s 2010 release, Perch Patchwork. Grab the stems from any of three select Perch Patchwork songs here. If you win, you get a bunch of cool merch from the band, and your remix will be included on their forthcoming remix EP. Not a bad deal!
