Joining this year’s lineup is the 2nd Annual Camp Bisco Remix Contest Winner, Topshotta, a.k.a. DJ Geoffro of Harrisburg, PA. Presented by URB.com and powered MixMatchMusic’s Remix Wizard, the contest drew in over 130 remixes from around the globe. Aspiring DJ/producers had the unique opportunity to remix top notch artists such as The Disco Biscuits, Bassnectar, King Britt, and The Black Seeds. In the end, Topshotta was selected as the grand prize winner for his remix of the Black Seeds’ track “Slingshot.” Topshotta will perform a one-hour DJ performance slot during Camp Bisco 9, as part of his grand prize.
A second contest, run by SonicBids and focusing on emerging bands, drew the attention of over 160 entrants. Combining live performance art with dubstep beats, Cirque du Womp, from Detroit, MI, beat out this year’s crop of artists to win a performing spot on the festival’s Wood Stage Friday afternoon.
