The remixes are in, but Gifted couldn’t decide on a winner. We need your help! Watch the message below for the full scoop.
Ready to hear the remixes and start voting? Continue reading for a rundown of the finalists.
J.Brookinz
You can go a million different directions with this song. J.Brookinz went the dark route as opposed to the lighter sound of the other remixes. The good news is that his is just as impressive.
Lynas
Within seconds you know Lynas means business with this remix. You might have to listen to this remix twice to catch everything in it. You might just because you like it.
BEFS
Who knew someone would turn “Music” into a smooth vintage-ish record about “girls licking lips.” BEFS goes for it and executes with this unique remix.
Jams Dean
Minimalism is the name of the game with this remix. Jams Dean borrows a riff from the original song and adds his own catchy sounds complete with equally catchy repetition. Well done.
S-Tone
This remix is made for the dance floor, turning “Music” into a full blown techno song. Hey, that’s what they were looking for. Good stuff here.
Cast your vote now! Polls close at noon next Wednesday, March 11. The winner will be announced the day after. Good luck remixers!

J.Brookinz’ remix is a bit too simple in my opinion, it’s not bad but it doesn’t add anything: 6/10
Lynas’ remix starts of pretty good, playful and inventive. Doesn’t keep up this quality for the entire track but I think this remix is not bad overall: 7/10
BEFS’ remix is definitely original and it gets away with it too. Nice remix, in this case I think originality is a win: 7/10
Jams Dean’s remix is great, the most dancable one so far in my opinion and if I recall correctly that’s what we’re looking for: 7,5/10
S-Tone’s remix starts up pretty slow but it feels like it’s anticipating for a climax and then brings in a sort of tension which improves the track. It never really comes to the climax you expect (or at least that I expect) but it does build up to some sort of a climax. I feel like this remix did not reach it’s full potential but still it’s the best one: 8/10
That’s not fucking fair Why you guys take just 5 tracks ? nevermind, always this shit everywhere
Lynas is my hero.
Atapy, they didn’t just take 5 tracks, they picked their 5 favorites from all of the tracks. They couldn’t decide which of the 5 they liked best, so they’re having the readers choose.
They listened to every submission before they made their decision, so don’t worry, any and all submissions were considered.
Pretty Much Amazing should do more remix contests.
I`m torn between James Dean and Lynas. My remix didn`t sound very pro or anything but it had tigersapian and I think its pretty good, check it out here:

I like them all! But the J.Brookinz one is my fav! It’s gangsta.
J.Brookinz FTW!!!
PMA should do more remix contests. It’s a really cool way for the fans to get involved. Check out my TContheRadio remix at TContheRadio.blogspot.com! Personally I think S-Tone’s was the best.
pulling for Jams Dean and not just because we both guest blog @ http://creamteam.tv/ but because it’s the hottest one…i had no idea he was entering either
I’m lovin the original techno feel of S-tones. BEFs is alright too, but overall creativity wise and originality, plus just how it sounds S-tones is on top.
I think I am going to do more of these in the future.. officially and unofficially.
Cool!
The way S-Tones remix builds to the chorus is quite stimulating, I also like how it incorperates the whole song it gives great justice to the artists. I also like Lynas’s background synthesizer sounds. But S-Tone is the clear winner!

^^^^ Damn! X-.D
x-.D ^ I love how it says “boys” instead of “young men” on that one. Makes it sound somehow even more pedophile-y
And that smile to my Right is taking on a completely new meaning…
luis, i’m glad this has inspired you to do more remix contests in the future. just remember that Gifted was first! haha
I LOVE the J.Brookinz remix!!! It’s just so laid back and cool. James Deans is really good too.
s-tones is sick. the whole song just works better than the rest of them
Congrats to all the finalists. We’re bumping the remixes in the studio now!
Jam Dean and J. Brokinz are sick. Keep droppin these beats.
U must be out ur mind “Simple” J Brookz drops some of the hardest shit out there!
Jams Dean by far, it’s already the most listened to remix on hypem. Chicago native of course creating the best shit out there.
BROOKINZZZZZ!!!! ALL THE WIZZZZAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!
Thanks for Gifted and i’m sorry if I get nervous a little
realy it was fun to remix
“Music” I hope it’s not problem if I put here a link with my remix.
So boys & girs here you can listen my remix http://www.zippyshare.com/v/72376448/file.html
Hope you gonna like it & wish you the best !!!!
Bye
J. Brookinz murks this joint! It’d be an awesome mixtape/set opener or closer. Its not peaktime and that’s why it excels. “Simple” it is not.
Brooookinz.
Is Hypemachine not working? Because I can’t play any of the songs. Why can’t pretty much amazing just use soundcloud or something. Jesus make up your mind on a playback program and stick with it. I never know what to expect when I click on any link here.
Oh shit. J.Brookinz killed that. His remix of Asher Roths “The Reading” was bananas too! Dude puts in work.
wow. great remixes all around.
Nice. ___ Sugar Mommy Match c o m ___ The first and largest dating site for Cougars and boys.Search for what you want, find more than you dreamed!
solid effort by everyone. PMA – def keep these contests going, i can see a nice community of DJ/producer/remix-lovers building and a whole lot of awesome remixes coming out of this kinda stuff in the future
Hype Machine was down, but now its up.. so don’t worry Jackson.
But I do think Luis should decide on something soon… SoundCloud was cool, but he posted a comment saying that it costs like $75/month! That’s pretty pricey. HypeM is free, but there’s no embedding.. hmm.
in every song… there is missing the “kick”
Lovin The S-Tone one!
There all decent but i gotta say S-Tone FTW cos this adds a new dimension to the song, reminds me of DISCOTECH in a way, i Dunno what you think but this is more accessible than many remixes also…
Will these all be available to d/l Luis?
Quite like to get S-Tone so it would be cool if you could put MP3′s up bro
Cheers
Brookins churned out a murker hands down FRESSSSSSSSSHHHH!!!
Hmmm… not really sure about the group- kinda odd, where do they fit in today’s music??? (and I’m adding it all into account not just radio even the record in my closet and upload it to myspacers)
But the producers did there thing with this one! S-tones is nice but I have to go with J. Brookinz I heard that song he made for Asher Roth a while back so I got excited when I heard he had a new remix out! disappointed by the group but I like the way J. Brookinz built up the beat- he made it seem like something was going to happen so I kept listening through the not so interesting lyrics.
nice tracks…sounds good!
umm who won? results maybe?
