In late 2004, the Creative Commons foundation launched a remix contest that allowed you (in that overused, Time Magazine Person of The Year sense) to mix, mash and sample popular artists such as Chuck D, David Byrne, and Le Tigre. The contest was a great success, increasing awareness of the Commons and ultimately giving hundreds of little known mixers and producers to be heard by a wide audience.The newly launched CC Hungary tried the same idea, only with well known Hungarian musicians. How often do you get to hear Hungarian break-beat? The resulting album has quite a few high points, even if you don't speak Magyar. Listen to or download the whole album here.
