Phantogram Open a 'Funeral Pyre' Remix Contest on LabelRadar: $1,000 and a Possible UMe Release, Entries Close Dec 4

Producers who want a release with a major-label catalogue arm can enter Phantogram's new remix contest on LabelRadar until December 4, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. The duo are giving out the official acapella stems of 'Funeral Pyre', the opening track of their 2016 album Three, to mark the record's 10th anniversary.

What you get

  • The highest-scoring remix wins $1,000.
  • The winner also gets a shot at an official release through Universal Music Enterprises. That depends on label approval and a release agreement both sides sign off on.

Rules worth knowing

  • Judges score originality and creativity first, then audio production and style.
  • You build an original remix around the vocals, and you have to make it yourself. AI-generated entries and uncleared samples are banned.
  • Entry is open to independent musicians and producers who are adults in their own country and live in one of the territories LabelRadar lists.

You only get the vocal, so the genre is up to you. A club rework is as valid as anything else. Download the stems and upload your entry on the contest page.
