The BBC is doing a Beethoven's Fifth Symphony remix contest. You have to be a UK resident to enter, but anyone can download the samples and stems. They are pretty interesting! The producers recorded the orchestra's instrument groups in isolation to create the stems, and they apparently tempo-mapped the whole thing to 108 BPM so it all falls neatly on the grid. For some reason, however, the web site doesn't tell you about the tempo thing anywhere; you have to figure that out for yourself.
