Everyone Connects

12Nov09

I’m in love with Everyone Connects since Day 1 I knew about it.

It actually started off as a website, with a 1 min + song entitled “Through My Window” which is free to listen, with no details on who sang it or who produce/sponsor it. It turned out to be a successful gimmick, almost all local radio station is playing the 1 min + song (that time the full song is not released yet) and got everyone to talk about it, discussing who the artist might be.

There’s been a lot of wild guest by the public – some guessed its a new band, some say its a new artist and there’s others who speculate that the person who sang “Through My Window” is Mawi (LoL~!, that was so funny!). Everyone agree though that whoever sang that got talent!

And few weeks later the gimmick was revealed. The song is sang by Bunkface (obviously! That’s my first guess, and I got it!) and the whole EveryoneConnects thingi is powered by TM.

I was really happy it is Bunkface. Too bad I don’t know them when they came to UTP for performance at Euphonious 2009, I was standing in the VIP room with them! But after the performance, it was awesome and I’ve began listening to most of their songs (Situasi and Revolusi are some of their best songs).

Then EveryoneConnects collaborate with various local youth stuff..including YouthSays and then came the “Though My Window” Mash-Up Remix Contest. I thought I might give it a try, they offer lots of prizes and I’m aiming to one of the lil’ prizes (eg. RM30 Borders voucher or Starbucks voucher)…and who knows..my first submission won an 8GB Ipod Nano! To win it, the submission must be the best of the day.

I was super thrilled when I saw my name on the prize winners list. It was a moment of…”OMG”…plus craziness + disbelief + awesomeness! I’ve never won a prize for any contest I’ve joined and I won this with my first submission!

You can listen to my winning remix here: http://www.everyoneconnects.net/rdparty101/video_mashup.aspx?vid=2061

You’ll have to load it a while, and wait for the “Loading” turns to “Through My Window”.

On top of that, they have listed the winners list as well as their remix on the main site: http://youthsays.com/everyoneconnects

The contest is still running, till 15th November. Give it a try!

My remix made it through to the top 10 most played remix! Thanks for da support~!

As I was writing the post, it just got up the ladder to #8 !

Update *14th Nov* – And it’s now Top 5 in just 2 days! Thanks again!

On their main page:

4 more Nanos give-away. Remember to give it a shot! I might not be a professional DJ or some sort to be offering tips, but you might wanna put their song as your ringtone! That was what I did when they release the song as free-to-download, even weeks before the contest…and maybe that might have helped me…

Well if Nanos not your type, you can still try for their various prizes, which they’ll give for every 30th lucky submission.
