Mariah Carey

After a very competitive, but also very collaborative contest, we are excited to announce the winners of the Mariah Carey Remix Contest.

Fans were challenged to create a remix of "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" that was to be judged on originality, creativity, and marketability - and man did they ever.

Amongst over 1,200 submissions, The Progressions have won first place - $5,000 - and will be featured on MariahCarey.com, IslandRecords.com, and Mariah's MySpace page.

They are also listed as Mariah's "top friend" on MySpace for a month!

The runner up, Sevan O. receives a Digidesign MBox2.

Check out the site to see all of the other Honorable Mentions:

Other tech highlights include an advanced server-side audio processing system and Power artist search engines.

Press:

"Indaba is not unlike walking through a giant rehearsal space, where you can find the best gigs just by strolling past the other rooms and eavesdropping." - Pitchfork

"The long-established rules of music production are being rewritten, according to a now-familiar refrain." - LA Times

"Until recently, there was no easy way for the amateur musician to collaborate cheaply, easily and in an open online environment. However, a new crop of startups (Indaba) are changing that with efforts to capitalize on open social networking, as a way to bring online music collaboration to the masses". - Wired
