The Upload Deadline Is In
Join the HOFA XMAS MIX CONTEST!
It is this time of the year again: the annual HOFA XMAS MIX CONTEST has begun on Dec 1! For the 13th time now, we are organizing this mixing and remixing contest for all those who want to spend some quality time in their home studio.
The song “You & Me & Them”
As every year, the contest song was written by HOFA CEO Jochen Sachse. For the production of this Christmas excursion into electronic dance music, he teamed up with Tim Segewitz and Joel Christ, who have already been the producers behind a number of chart hits.
Win amazing prizes
This year there will be prize money of €1,000 twice – for the best mix and for the best remix of our contest song – and also attractive special prizes from our sponsors.
Taking part is worth it!
50 mix analyses are raffled from all uploaded songs. This analysis gives you a feedback to your mix and points out strenghts and weaknesses – that alone makes your work worthwhile!
Terms and Conditions
Participation in the HOFA XMAS MIX CONTEST is free of charge. All you need is a DAW and fun mixing and remixing.
Mix
You are allowed to master, copy & paste and pitch or even remove individual elements. For the sake of fairness it’s not allowed to add new tracks or to change tempo, pitch or structure of the song.
The jury is looking for harmonious sound characteristics with balanced levels that fits in the genre, a well-defined spatial depth and a natural overall sound.
Remix
Your options for the remix are endless: use those tracks of the download you want and add whatever you like. Nothing’s forbidden – but of course the song should still be recognisable and “radio-compatible”. Let your creativity run wild!
When rating the remix, the jury pays attention to sound quality, sound design, arrangement and balanced proportions.

If you say so ... I respect your opinion. Thanks! In my opinion it sounds pretty bad. And not just my mix, unfortunately I notice that 95% of the mixes have at least one...
