You need to hear this groove by the winner of The Surface Remix Project

In October Microsoft decided to team up with Linkin Park and Steve Aoki to see who could best remix their song, A Light That Never Comes. Two months later, the winner has been chosen, and any fan of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) should give it a good listen after the break.

The grand prize winner, Brian Yates, walked away with $2,500, a Surface Pro 2 with Surface Music Kit, and a spot on Linkin Park’s upcoming EP album. Five runners up including Alex Raniswsky, John Doe, Harel Tsemah, DJ ALOTOMANI, and Freddie Westburn, will each receive $500 and a Surface 2 for their work.

"I've always been a big fan of Linkin Park ever since I first heard Hybrid Theory over a decade ago, so I was pretty excited to be able to remix one of their tracks." – Brian Yates

What do you think of Yates’ remix? Are you ready to pick up a Surface Music Kit and drop some of your own beats?
