A photographic journey through some key scenes of the Booth Love video. Our goal was to feature the city of Chicago & our talented roller girls while plugging in band cameos that showcased each band member's personality. We hope you're enjoying the video as much as we enjoyed making it. Please keep sharing it with your grandparents, dentist, professor, uncle Steve and that funny yahoo who works at your local 7-11. Spread it!

Kevin Browning takes a dip to capture Ryan's lake entry. There was some concern the rollerblades would drag him to the bottom but alas, all worked out & he didn't drown

Fun Fact: The stars of the show have all spent time as the Chicago Blackhawks ice girls

A remix contest has been a point of discussion for years in the UM camp. We are thrilled that we've finally been able to realize that vision with Death By Stereo. With the help of our friends over at Indaba Music, we've created a remix contest for four album tracks with the opportunity to win $4000 in prize money plus a spot on our remix EP. Booth Love, Deeper, Miami Virtue & Domino Theory are all proving to be great vehicles to remix and the entires thus far have truly run the musical gamut. But don't take our word for it, check out the contest and see what tickles your fancy.
Digital Tape Machine's own Dan Rucinski's Booth Love remix
As part of the contest, we are offering a basic set of downloadable stems for free. Stems are essentially sub mixes of the key ingredients of the song...all the drums, all the keyboard tracks, so forth and so on. On top of that, we are offering an advanced stem pack for each song which contains every individual element from these tracks. For only $7, you can have every piece of the puzzle. You'll be able to dissect every snare hit, guitar lick, bass line and vocal harmony isolated from the rest. Additionally, they are all full resolution WAV files so the quality is pristine. We have never offered more intimate access inside the inner workings of any UM songs. Get them while you can.

We wanted to share a few of the submissions thus far and encourage any and all of you to take a crack at a remix of your own. The opportunities are endless and there are no rules. Add your own solos, vocals, your dog barking...whatever. Get outisde of the box and see what you come up. And would someone mash two of these songs up already?
