What a great event! Watching, learning, participating in these interactive fun events are second to none! Thanks to the sponsor 'Arturia' and the Mastering.com team! Special congratulations to Matt Mandoza for such an epic Remix and another big win! WELL DONE! AGAIN! Jake & Chris plus Dane & Caleb's work is beyond inspiring. . . To be selected as Top 6 of ~60 submissions is very humbling, unexpected and a honor; considering I'm only one year into all of this creative production, mixing & mastering! It's a huge paradigm shift from being a promoter, running live sound engineering and the live sit-ins I still do from time to time. . . To tie for 3rd is just mid-blowing and even more unexpected! Thank to every on who voted for my quick and hasty 8 hour thrown together dub-mix and a 10 minute attempt to master my own work. I am very much obliged to all! I credit mindset and lots of reps via ll the encouragement of mentors and peers. Wouldn't be to this level or be here with every last one of you. A special thanks to Chris for choosing my submission, which is huge motivator and very inspiring considering the caliber of his work and professionalism. Caleb's comments are also very inspiring and motivating, since he tells it like it is. . . Not one for blowing sunshine. He's straight with us, and that's invaluable! And, for everyone else that left positive and critical notes in the chat are also much appreciated. Many were spot on and expected considering the lack of time and experience just committing to an idea, working through he process and most importantly making decisions to complete a track. I'm sure everyone worked hard at this challenge whether they got it done and submitted theirs; or, not. I honestly just want to 'finish' projects, and work through them relatively quickly. And, get it submitted and continue doing better and better reps. I am interested in more feedback and comments on this quick first pass. At some point, I'm going to go back drop the VOX, remix, refine/improve this track with my own lyrics and better composition (my biggest weakness). I plan to submit to a SYNC Brief in the future. You can find the track here for the short term, until I clean off my drive for new stuff and improved tracks. I'm aware of many issues with this track, but I still wana hear it from ya'll. It would would be great!

My latest single "Drive" is live on all platforms! It features my friend Chris Gamberg on drums and having live tracked drums really "drives" the song and elevates the energy. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/matthewmendoza/drive Song is about becoming fast friends with an uber driver and never seeing them again. Would love to know what you all think!

Thanks Matt for sending the link. What a great sound track for this fine company. Nice crunchy guitars and such a youthful vibe adds to the tune. Your drummer is amazing! 😃
