But not before getting a spin from the pros. In announcing another “Nude”-styled project, Thom writes:
There’s a Remix site going up tomorrow for Reckoner here>>
To start things off we asked James Holden and Diplo to do their versions.
Now the elements are already being passed around to other artists..
The elements of the song are soon going to be made available to you if you wanna have a go..
If it’s anything like the Nude remix site it could get fairly nuts.
We’re off to Japan at the weekend.
Off to Japan, to finish up that album tour. The song stems are available and ready for your reworkings, but first have a listen to these two for inspiration:
Hear more at radioheadremix.com. The band posted some further details on the project:
To coincide with asking radio stations to think about playing Reckoner we are breaking up the tune into pieces for you to remix.
After the insane response we got from the Nude remix stems and the site that was dedicated to your remixes…
Unique visitors: 6,193,776, Page Views: 29,090,134, Hits: 58,340,512, Bandwidth: 10.666 Terabytes, Number of mixes: 2,252, Number of votes: 461,090, Number of track listens: 1,745,304
…we thought it only fair to do the same with a tune that at least is in 4/4. You can get the stems (the different instruments/elements) from here.
Sample, cut, take the sounds, whatever. Play it in a club. Or your room. Then if you want you can upload your finished mixes to www.radioheadremix.com and be judged by everyone else. YOu can create a widget allowing votes from your own site, Facebook or MySpace to be sent through too.
Have fun.

Pretty forthcoming with those “Nude” download activity stats considering the relatively tight lips on the numbers for that little album release experiment that shook the music business, no? Anyway like they say, don’t look a gift track stem in the mouth. Download ‘em at iTunes. Billboard Top 40, here we come.

Am I the only one who can’t wait for this?
Other than the cost for the tracks.
I could not wait either…and did not http://radioheadremix.com/remix/?rated=true&id=36
Zac, nice remix there. (+1)
awesome
I’m sorry, I have to call out Zac, for doing the most tremendously shitty thing I’ve seen on the Internet in a long time. You click on Zac’s remix, it automatically votes for it! I’m sorry, but these thousands of UTTERLY ATROCIOUS remixes just go to show you how few people Actually Have Musical Talent. There is way too much fucking garbage in this world, and everybody wants to produce more & more & more. Myself included with this comment. Please, read Autobiography of a Yogi and spend more time meditating and less time jacking off on the Internetz. Praying I can follow my own advice. Fuck it!!
These remixes suck.
I agree, these remixes are terrible. Song was butchered beyond repair.
do i hear “nantes” by beirut in the diplo remix?
these remixes are shit.
Flying Lotus remixed it already, which pretty much disqualifies everyone ever.
OMG I’ve been trying to stream the holden remix off the remix site for days now & it wouldn’t work, U MY HERO
<3
The string quartet one is really good even though it seems to only feature the lead vocal track. Then again, I downloaded this and Nude just so I could get the lone vocal tracks. Amazing.
YARG
The Top Ten suck. I’m number 11. Check it out.

I just can’t help but get annoyed by them actually charging for this….
Surprised they released Reckoner as a single. 15 Step would be a great choice.
But still a really good song.
And at least you only have to pay $1 for ALL the stems. With Nude it was a dollar for each.
over/under until a Holy Fuck mix appears?
Interesting remixes, the Diplo is better for me.

Hopefully some lesser known artists get some recognition from this. There are some really good remixes to be found with a little searching. My favorite so far is this one from Alpha Leonis:

A lot of these sound the same… but some are kind of unconventional:

I have to give Radiohead props for this promotion. I never paid $5 for a single before, but I did pay $5 for the Nude stems.
Then they sent me the Reckoner stems for free one week before they showed up on iTunes. I had to do another.

Listen to this one. I decided not to turn it into an electro tune, although it sounds like just about everyone else did.

I also tried to play with it. Mine is here :

Hi there,
anyone into drum n bass?
check my Reckoner in a spaceship remix
http://radioheadremix.com/remix/?id=1576
There’s some good mixes up here and it’s encouraging to see the Reckoner project has provoked such a high standard of entries. I was sent this the other day, takes a while to kick in but it builds to a beautiful atmospheric cosmic disco jam, something of the Lindstrom and Prins Thomas about it. Definitely the most original remix I’ve heard so far. See what you think:
