This bit of news has been floating around for a spell, and we're still getting all sorts of caught up, so thankfully, we were snagged by Ricardo of Subdrive at Studio B on Sunday night, reminded us of our unnecessary negligence, and so we kind of couldn't wait to get this out to you. Long overdue...still rad as hell!


Subdrive wanted to make the music process more interactive between musicians, bloggers, and fans, and how did they go about doing so? By offering high-quality stems for mad cheap from EVERY one of their singles.

Here's where it gets even radder.

1. The artists make 100% of the profit.
2. People can do whatever they want with the stems/remix, just don't claim the track as your own.
3. If the results are up to Subdrive standards, they'll include it in a follow-up remix EP with the remixer getting a percentage of sales.
4. And finally, there will always be a free version of the single for anyone to have, with edits covered under the Creative Commons Share-Alike License (worldwide).

And now for even more bait, their first signing is NY-based producer Terror Dactel. This dude has been around, and he was actually one of the first people we mentioned when we heard his significant fix of Flo Rida's club stomper, Low.

You can buy the stems for Terror Dactel's debut single, DTF, here. Submit your remix by June 19. And then give Subdrive a standing ovation and circle of hand claps. It's these sort of efforts that make us love what the future of digi-music holds.
