M-Audio is proud to announce the winners of the Moby Remix Contest, which was co-sponsored by Beatport, Gibson and V2 Records. M-Audio has awarded a deluxe recording package to Grand Prize winner John Rappole, Jr. and a MicroTrack 24/96 handheld recorder to Second Place winner Ligtfritz (a.k.a Shawn Gross).
The Grand Prize winning remix was “Go (Nature's Broken Mix)" by John Rappole, Jr., who won a deluxe suite of M-Audio gear including an NRV10 analog mixer with FireWire 400 audio interface, Trigger Finger drum control surface, Oxygen 8 v2 synth-action keyboard, Solaris condenser microphone, ProjectMix I/O bag, Studiophile BX5a reference monitors, Studio Pack studio backpack, Pro Tools M-Powered production software, Strike virtual drummer instrument, Hybrid software synthesizer, Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600 virtual synthesizer, iZotope Ozone software mastering system and iZotope Spectron effects processing software.
Rappole lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and daughter and currently works in Washington D.C. as a live sound engineer while writing and recording in his home studio. Most of his studio work recently has been dedicated to electronic music production and remixing, but he has also worked on soundtracks for short films and corporate DVDs. Rappole’s main production rig consists of an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with an M-Audio Oxygen8 and Keystation 61es for triggering software synths, and an M-Audio Quattro USB as his audio interface for recording guitars and microphones.
The Second Place winning remix was Lightfritz’s “Quick Solar System Trip.” Lightfritz a.k.a. Shawn Gross won a MicroTrack 24/96 professional two-channel mobile digital recorder for his entry. Gross started out as a house DJ in Gainesville, Florida, and after a few "mixtapes" he began a weekly residency at Gainesville's well-known Full Circle, with monthly appearances at the world-famous Simon's nightclub. Gross has worked on house remix projects for artists such as Tony Amey (formerly with LaFace) and Ukelulu. He composes, arranges, produces and records—also playing guitar, keyboards, drums and a didgeridoo. Gross has been involved in several projects around the region, including "Locomotive" and "Population," the latter receiving airplay on Spike TV and spots on two different models of Rio MP3 players.
