Sonible Opens Remix Challenge #2, Inviting Producers Worldwide to Remix “Tik Tok Tik Tok” a banger from drum & bass legends Zombie Cats!

The Sonible Remix Challenge #2 is officially live, giving producers around the world the opportunity to remix Zombie Cats’ track “Tik Tok Tik Tok.” Created by Artists & Relations and launched in collaboration with Sonible, Zombie Cats, and LabelRadar, the challenge marks the release of smart:comp 3, Sonible’s newest compression plugin. With a prize pool valued at over $3,000, including a license for smart:comp 3 and a release opportunity with Zombie Cats, the contest is open for submissions exclusively through LabelRadar until January 20, 2026.

Working With smart:comp 3 During the Remix

The launch of smart:comp 3 sits at the center of the Sonible Remix Challenge #2, offering producers hands-on access to Sonible’s latest approach to dynamics control. The plugin analyzes incoming audio and presents compression behavior visually, helping producers understand how their settings interact with the source material rather than relying purely on meters or guesswork.

Alongside standard compression parameters, smart:comp 3 includes Style options and Spectral Compression, which allows dynamics to be shaped across specific frequency ranges. This opens up more detailed control when working on different elements of “Tik Tok Tik Tok,” whether the focus is tightening drums, stabilizing bass movement, or controlling layered synths while maintaining musical clarity. The tool is designed to integrate smoothly into existing workflows, keeping the remix process focused on creative decisions rather than technical obstacles. You can try it for free for 30 days.
