Anish Kumar opens up hit “Blackpool Boulevard” on Audius to aspiring producers

March 2, 2022 - Anish Kumar & Barry Can’t Swim have taken over the British airwaves with “Blackpool Boulevard,” and are now taking their act to Audius where aspiring producers can remix the hit song that has spent 15+ weeks on the radio with more than 630 plays and more than 25M impressions to date.

Audius recently announced $AUDIO Rewards, a first-of-its-kind equitable exchange program for artists and fans on the platform, as well as the Remix Dashboard, a place for all ongoing remix contests and stem packs to live.

The red hot act today made the song’s stems available on Audius to any aspiring producer looking to remix the hit and make it their own. A remixer at heart, Anish will personally and excitedly be reviewing and considering submissions, saying “Blackpool Boulevard arose out of collaboration and a melting pot of ideas, instruments and influences. For me, Audius is the perfect platform to open the collaborative process up to the people who have been listening and love the record. Their community-first foundation will enable anyone to engage with the parts however they want to and become a part of the story.“

“Blackpool Boulevard” is just the latest in a string of high-profile acts making their work available, completely for free, to Audius’ more than 6.5 million users.

“The remix feature on Audius came from the community recognizing Audius as a great place to collaborate and the need for more tools to do so, especially with their favorite artists and emerging artists like Anish Kumar,” Audius’ Head of Partnerships Clayton Blaha said. “We’re honored that Anish and Barry Can’t Swim want to take advantage of this feature to give back to their rapidly growing following.”

Audius recently wrapped up a remix competition with Dillon Francis and have hosted contests for some of the industry's biggest names, including Disclosure and Alina Baraz.
