Mark de Clive-LowePhase Two: $BUYBACK Emerald x sound.xyz
[TL;DR]At the top of 2022, I launched the $BUYBACK Crowdfund - a mirror campaign to raise funds to reacquire 7 back catalog albums from the labels that controlled them and to establish the governance membership of Mashibeats - a creator community I founded at the intersection of jazz, electronic music and web3. After a successful 12.3 ETH raise (approx $40k at the time), all funds raised were paid out to the respective labels, and all 7 albums have been reacquired and as such, are now foundat...
Mark de Clive-LoweMotherland
So many of us grow up as “others”. Questioning where we fit in, who our tribe is and how our identity meets the world. For me, this was the story of much of my life as a Japanese-New Zealander who was never Japanese enough to be Japanese, or white enough to be white. My teenage love of jazz, hip hop and drum’n’bass all stemmed from the same needs - these were music forms where I could find comfort and community through diving into albums created from artists’ own searches for belonging and id...
Mark de Clive-LoweMashibeats Creator Club Season 1
[TL;DR]At the top of the year, I decided to launch Mashibeats Creator Club - an umbrella for what is intended to be an ongoing season by season of mentorship programs for me to support and guide musicians into their genesis web3 projects. I've been blessed throughout my career in so many ways, not least of all being able to sustain a 20+ year career primarily focused on my own music, with zero regard for commercial compromise. Mentorship is one way to give-back, pay it forward and empowe...

You’re invited to remix and reimagine… welcome to the first Mashibeats Remix Contest!
With a combination of web3 and what you’d already expect, this is the first of an ongoing series of production/creativity challenges fueled by our social token $MASHI, with prizes including getting minted on Catalog (with a 60% share on your winning remix), getting pressed on vinyl, $MASHI coin rewards (which can be converted to RLY and bridged out!), and some incredible sound libraries courtesy our friends at Spitfire Audio.
We’re doing this for multiple reasons - to keep building the Mashibeats community, to support creators and facilitate creation, and to help onboard talented artists into web3.

To enter the contest, we’ve created an access pass: the Mashibeats Studio Pass 001 NFT - a 3D-animation fantasy instrument. The Studio Pass NFT is intentionally priced to be accessible to everyone (just US$7) and is gas-free on the Rally network. Think of it like your unlock key to be able to join the contest - and collect your first of our fantasy instrument series!
create an account on rally.io
go here and purchase the Studio Pass 001 NFT using US$7 worth of $MASHI coin
now you’re ready to access the token-gated contest page where you can download stems and upload your remix
If you want to jump straight in, once you’ve got the Studio Pass 001 NFT, head over to mashibeats.xyz/studio and get started!
For this first remix contest, all the stems for my Midnight Snacks vol.1 and vol.2 (excluding the one cover, Sorceress) are available for download, so you can choose which track you want to remix - or remix multiple tracks and enter them all.
The deadline to submit your finished remix(es) is JUNE 9, 2022. **
UPDATE -** the community has voted to extend the submission deadline to JUNE 13, 2022 @ 9pm PST
Once entries have closed, everyone in the Mashibeats discord will be able to vote for their favorites via our discord, creating a shortlist of finalists.
The shortlist then gets voted on on-chain by our $BUYBACK governance community using snapshot tooling with weighted voting in order to choose the winning three remixes.
Once we’ve chosen the winning three, the first and second place winners will be onboarded onto Catalog through Mashibeats’ curation partnership and will be able to mint their remixes as 1/1 NFTs with a 60-40 split between the remixer and Mashibeats in favor of the remixer. If you’re not already on Catalog, getting onboarded also means that you’ll then have your own Catalog account going forward to mint your 1/1 music NFTs as you please!
All three winning remixes will be on the Midnight Snacks Remixes vinyl EP, all three winners will be airdropped $MASHI coin and the respective Spitfire Audio sound libraries will be credited to you.
