Sumthing Else Music Works, Inc. launches the Halo 2 Volume Two Soundtrack Mash Mixer Contest to celebrate the upcoming release of Halo 2 Original Soundtrack Volume Two in stores on April 25th. The contest runs on the Global Gaming League (GGL) online gaming network at http://h2v2.ggl.com and offers Halo music fans the unique opportunity to mash-up downloadable mixes from Halo 2 Original Soundtrack Volume Two and submit their remixes online to win special prizes. Visitors to the site are also able to preview clips of the album from the online listening station and purchase individual tracks or the complete album before its official street date.

To get a head start on the competition, registered users are provided with a music "mash-up" mixer designed and supplied by www.pcdj.com that will allow you to mix and remix the Halo 2 Volume 2 soundtrack in real-time. The user will be able to match beats, cross fade, loop, DJ and record the finished remix live. Exclusive downloadable 'Stem Mixes' will be available from the Halo 2 Volume 2 soundtrack courtesy of Bungie Studios' Audio Director Marty O'Donnell. New stem mixes will be added to the website on a frequent basis so that fans can mash-up their favorite Halo 2 Volume 2 music tracks. The website also offers a selection of optional musical treatments ranging from break beat to deep house. Submissions will be voted on by the community and a panel of celebrity gamers, composers and musicians will review and select the winners. Special prizes range from Xbox 360 systems and PCDJ Pro-DJ equipment to a signed Fender guitar from veteran music producer and Sumthing Else label founder Nile Rodgers.

The Halo 2 Volume Two soundtrack mash mixer contest is promoted by Sumthing Else Music Works, the industry leader for licensing and distributing video game soundtracks, and the Global Gaming League (GGL) with support from Bungie Studios.
