Having been personally selected by Damon Albarn, the winning entry will line up alongside the likes of Mansun, Starsailor, Travis, Fatboy Slim, David Gray and Lenny Kravitz.

You’ve until December 18th to assemble your masterpiece, which should then be dispatched to Remix Gorillaz, XFM, 30 Leicester Square, London WC2H 7LA.

Gorillaz are, in many ways, the pub conversation that went too far. On the back of a beer-mat, it’s certainly a perky conceit: a comic-strip band whose songs muddle genres with cartoonish chutzpah. In execution however, Damon Albarn’s pet endeavour has too often tended towards debilitating smugness. Toxically pleased with itself, Gorillaz’s self-titled 2001 debut felt like an open-top tour of Albarn’s ego.

Back in the saddle with their eagerly anticipated second album Demon Days, subversive animated quartet Gorillaz here talk to Paul Nolan about striking out against celebrity culture, what went wrong with the Gorillaz movie, collaborating with Shaun Ryder, Roots Manuva and Dennis Hopper, and why they didn’t vote Labour.
