Win A USB Turntable and Michael Jackson Remix Vinyl From Crosley
December 23, 2009
In celebration of the Michael Jackson Remix Suite CD Nodfactor.com is giving away a USB turntable courtesy of Crosby and a vinyl copy of the Michael Jackson Remix Suite.
This one is pretty simple. Just send the names of three songs made in the last decade that sample songs from Michael Jackson and email them to info@nodfactor.com. A winner will be chosen at random from correct entries. Good luck!
“It’s no secret that Michael Jackson’s phenomenal talent inspired countless entertainers,” says Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone, who spearheaded the making of MICHAEL JACKSON: THE REMIX SUITE. “But his music also inspired many of today’s finest producers. That’s why we thought it would be exciting to invite them to put their own unique spin on his work. From Michael’s amazing vocals to the great melodies, grooves, and arrangements¯the material they had to work with is so incredibly rich. It’s inspiration feeding inspiration and the results are fantastic.”
