In his exclusive online course, Com Truise: Mid-Fi Synthwave Slow-Motion Funk, we get to see Seth Haley (a.k.a., Com Truise) create a brand new track from start to finish, called “Dynetics.”
This song is currently only available to listen to inside of the course, but here’s a short snippet to get even more excited!

You are encouraged to make the remix in your own artistic way, but we also want to offer some guidance in how we’ll judge the contest.
In order to offer all contestants some clarity on what we’ll be looking for in your submissions, these are some of the things we’ll be looking for in selecting the winners:

The final winner will be chosen by Com Truise himself! Good luck!
