26.3.12. SHORTLIST NOW ANNOUNCED

Hello Everyone,

We’re excited to announce our LAMB remix competition.  We’ve chosen the song Butterfly Effect because we think it lends itself to almost any genre of remix.

Regardless of whether you’ve remixed a song before, we invite you to experiment, enjoy and create.  We’d genuinely like to hear all your ideas – no matter how weird or wonderful.

We’re  looking for innovative genre-defying remixes of Butterfly Effect from our latest album ’5′.

Our favourite remix will released in 2012 on the
Butterfly Effect EP.  The winner and runners-up
will also receive a full copy of Melodyne editor software,
the perfect remix tool.

Check out the full details and entry criteria below.
You have until the end of February 2012 to impress us!

Good luck everyone!!

Lamb love
Andy & Lou
