double post because reasons

I know this isn't pony related, but here goes a short little explanation.

Our amazing bundle of music and handsome brownness, Alex S., has entered himself into the remix contest for the song "Make It Bun Dem" by Skrillex and Damian Marley. Normally I wouldn't post something like this in this thread, and I would have no doubts that he'll win, but he is up against one of the best up-and-coming electronic duos in the world of electronic music right now, Pegboard Nerds. Their remix is already beating his by many votes.

Whether or not you guys like electronic music, dubstep, and/or Alex S., he seriously needs to win this. If you don't already have a Beatport account, just make one really quickly, and you can delete it after the remix contest has ended on October 4th.

You can find his remix right here. PLEASE vote, guys.

I'm not saying you have to, but seriously, it would be amazing if you could. Every single vote counts.

The record deal seems like the only good prize IMO out of the three.

Well of course, but the XDJ-AERO is also an amazing prize because of what it can do and how much it costs. The sample library isn't nearly as important but is still really nice to have.

Eh I dunno if I'll vote for this guy.

It would be good for his chances of winning but I have a hatred for most techno music nowadays ( I have some liking to techno, but mostly older stuff from when I was younger )

Now I just prefer rock, metal, classic rock since there's nothing good out there now IMO

I understand if you don't like the music but Alex needs every vote he can get.
