Norbergfestival 2025 Remix Competition

Welcome to the Norbergfestival 2025 Remix Competition! We're excited to have you on board for this electrifying musical journey. Before diving in, please read these rules and guidelines.

Competition Overview

Genres: All genres are embraced.
Our jury consists of persons from diverse musical backgrounds, united by their passion for Norbergfestival.
Fair Assessment: To ensure fairness, all remixes will be evaluated based on loudness-normalized versions. Focus on crafting a quality mix rather than engaging in a loudness war.

The Music

Original Track: "Contact" by Juli Deák, a Polish-Hungarian flutist and saxophonist based in Stockholm, brings a unique fusion of classical, contemporary, and jazz music to the stage. With a foundation in classical music, her artistic work now explores extended techniques, circular breathing, and improvisation.

This is a special award for the remix with the best mix for vinyl. The price is regardless of competition ranking, except for the top 3 winners. You can't win both a podium place and the GoVinyl Award.

Unlike the main competition, this prize is not based on jury decision.

The winner will be selected by Johannes Ahlberg from Saintpid Mastering, based purely on mix quality for vinyl.

The prize includes:

– A vinyl-optimized mastering by Saintpid Mastering

– A custom vinyl dubplate from GoVinyl:

→ 10 copies (5 min per side)

→ or 20 one-sided copies (5 min total) – winner’s choice

– The vinyl doesn’t have to feature the remix – the winner may choose any track, as long as it’s their own music.
