Check out the winner of Amazing Beats “Ex Libras remix” competition!



A while back, Amazing Beats ran a comp to see who could produce the most impressive remix of Ex Libras track - "I Am Home". As you can imagine, they were completely inundated with tracks, each one taking the tune to exciting new sonic landscapes, twisting the vocals and bass around like they were mere putty. Or something less dramatic - let's just say a lot of people approached this task from a lot of different perspectives. And with the winner getting played on Amazing Radio, who can blame them?

It was up to Ex Libras to choose their favourite out of the entries, which saw them locking themselves away in their sheds with a crate of beer (this is all conjecture, by the way - they may very well have been drinking fruit juice) and listening to each one again, and again and again.

It was all worth it, because the track that rose all the way to the top, and kept the lads coming back for more, was the amazing remix by Sequel.

If you can't see the stream below, check out the track on our Soundcloud.
