Remixing Nude is actually quite a tricky task as the track is in 6/8 time, at 63bpm. Most music that’s played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 time. It’s pretty difficult to seamlessly mix a waltz beat into a 4/4 DJ set. Apparently, there were loads of generic entries to the competition consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from “Nude” thrown in so that they qualified for the contest.
“Thom Yorke even joked at the ridiculousness of it in an interview for NPR radio, hinting that they set the competition to find out how people would approach such a challenging task.
“Based on the lyric (and alternate title) “Big Ideas: Don’t get any” I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed the equipment in a situation where they’re trying their best to do something that they’re not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.
