    Mike has just updated his blog with the official winner of the Linkin Park: Featuring You "The Catalyst" Remix Contest.

    The winner is......NoBraiN! To quote Mike:

    "His real name is Czeslaw (his nickname is Chex) and he’s an English teacher from Swidnica, Poland. I had an amazing conversation on Skype with him, where I told him the good news. Video of that is coming soon.

    As I’ve said before, the quality of the MySpace remixes were amazing–even better than we had expected. Thank you all for your music and your votes. I’ll be giving away a full list of the top 20 finalists here on mikeshinoda.com shortly.

    In a couple of days, you’ll be able to hear the real thing: our new single, “The Catalyst,” comes out on MONDAY.

    But until then, go *HERE to listen to NoBraiN’s winning track, on the Linkin Park music player."

    *For those having trouble listening to the track via Linkin Park's myspace player, please click here to hear NoBraiN's remix.

    On behalf of the LPA, congratulations to NoBraiN and to everyone who entered to showcase their remix for the band and management to hear.

    I'm actually really happy with the winning entry. I think it fits everything that Mike wanted out of this contest. It uses the stems while providing a unique sound that's not very commercial and very unexpected. This was a great contest overall and I'm glad to see such a bizarre and creative mix get the win. :lol:

    Congrats to NoBraiN/Chex on the well deserved win! :)

    Yeah, the way he blended the electro drum track with the outro one was really really good.

    But, he had the timing of the "god bless us everyone" track wrong, just like half the remixes. It starts on the 2nd beat, not the 1st. Am I the only one who think that sounds just awful?

    All in all a creative remix though. I still heard many better ones though, in my opinion.

    He actually made it work though, by adding the long "noooo" at the end of the line. It extended the line enough to make it work, which just makes it all the more creative.

    Eh, I still think it sounds painfully out of place.

    I can't hear it. The Myspace Video player is in the way of the song widget. :(

    http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/24801 - Here he is on Indaba for those who are having MySpace freeze up on them too (or just me?)

    Congrats to NoBraiN on the remix, from the complete uniqueness of it, you can tell it will fit nicely on the new album.

    Definitely one of the better mixes. The intro was amazing! Very interesting to listen to. I wonder who voted for this track from the band. I bet Joe was one of them, ha!

    It's not off beat. There is actually a word for this cind of rythm (the one that's the opposit of the notes that are going exactlly on beat) I don't know how to define that in English and I can't find the right word in English too. But it's like arrhythmia or something.

    It's not my favorite Remix but I think they've chosen the right one. It fits the album 100%.

    arrhythmia
