Bon Iver, Spotify and Indaba Music team up for remix competition
Spotify have teamed up with Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Bon Iver and Indaba Music for an exclusive remixing competition.
Dubbed the “Bon Iver, Bon Iver: Stems Project,” fans are challenged with the task of remixing tracks from the artist’s critically acclaimed sophomore Bon Iver, Bon Iver album, giving them access to the individual audio mixes of each individual track of each song so that they can tweak and remix them.
