I post raw tracks, loops, and other such sundry goodness from my songs, and you remix them and send them to me.

The only rules are:

  • The raw tracks are licensed Creative Commons Attribution, meaning that whatever you do with the tracks, you must credit me with the source material.
  • Otherwise you can do whatever you want with the tracks. Commercial releases are fine and dandy.

I do ask that if you use these tracks to do something cool, you send an mp3 (or a link to one) to me (fluffy[at]beesbuzz[dot]biz) and let me post it on the site. I hope to aggregate peoples' mixes next to the original sources.

So, for the first 50 physical CDs we sell through CDBaby during CDBaby's promotion (meaning until Feburary 8, 2010), we will be donating $10 to the Red Cross. Plus, if we sell all 50 copies, we'll donate another $500 (making a total of up to $1000).

This isn't just us donating "all profits" or whatever, no, we're donating significantly more than we make on every CD sale, and it is in addition to CDBaby's donation.
