Spectrum Digital Mini Mix Competition!

A couple of months back, Fusion dropped a mix made entirely using computer software on Spectrum. In speaking to him, we figured it'd be cool to hear some more mixes made the same way... and figured, pooling what little resources we had, making a competition out of it! You can hear the mix Fusion made, as well as details of the competition, in the 14 June 2009 episode of Spectrum (featuring BCee & Driver) below...

All entries must be in 320kbps MP3 format, and sent to spectrumicr@hotmail.co.uk; the best entries will be featured on Spectrum for the duration of the competition.

The closing date for entries will be Monday, 27 July 2009, with the winner announced on Sunday, 2nd of August 2009. Prizes will include: Spearhead back catalogue + latest promos and a 60 minute mix (mixed the old fashioned way) to be featured on Spectrum! Get on your job, and GOOD LUCK!

Lynx & Kemo Remix Competition

Great opportunity; check this press release:

RSM and SOUL:R records have collaborated using the popular new Soundcloud service to create an innovative new take on remix competitions. Soundcloud lets you upload and distribute music fast & easily, making it the perfect platform for the safe exchange of track parts, and its simple Dropbox service means all creations can be easily submitted for competition entry.

Lynx & Kemo are offering up the exclusive stems from their incredibly popular “Global Enemies” track. The drum & bass innovators recently released their genre-bending album The Raw Truth on the 1st June 2009 to critical acclaim. The deadline is July 3rd, after which all entries will be judged by Lynx, Kemo and SOUL:R label owner, producer and DJ Marcus Intalex. The lucky winner will see their creation released on SOUL:R itself, truly one of drum and bass’ stalwart labels who have been releasing tracks of the highest quality for nearly a decade.

All you need to get started is download the stems here:

http://www.soulr.com/comp/global.zip

And then once you’ve put together something that you’re truly proud of upload it as an mp3 to the Rocketscience Media Soundcloud dropbox:

http://soundcloud.com/rocketsciencemedia/dropbox

This is a massive opportunity for all you bedroom producers and scene innovators to take these ingredients and do something alchemical with them. Step outside the d’n’b parameters - like Lynx and Kemo have in The Raw Truth - and your talent may well get the attention it deserves. The competition has already seen numerous entries and with the deadline a mere month away, it’s time to get your producing boots on!

That's a seriously sick prize for you producers - get on it! Props to RSM for the heads up!

Hospital has some of the best artwork and running themes in my opinion; just the continuity of the "hospital" theme and how they execute it? I love it. Via London Elektricity on twitter.

DOA Mix: Rockwell & MC System

This was a mix from Rockwell that was to be accompanying a feature I did on Medium's last event; at the time the story went to press, the mix still wasn't complete, but due to time-sensitive material, it had to go up. The Medium crew just hit me with the mix today, and instead of waiting to post my next competition for them (and because I can't add it to DOA's server until I get back home), I figured I would drop the mix for you guys right now!

DZK - Takeover

To be totally, 100% real with you, I'm upset that I didn't know about DZK before this year. I got introduced to him during the DOA/UAF Festival 2009 DJ Competition, and while he didn't win the competition, his mix blew me away. It was gut-wrenching, balls-to-the-wall, no-nonsense beats upon beats upon beats. What truly won me over is a blend he did, using the acapella from the classic Kosheen hit "Hide U" over Apex's "Hench" - it just worked so well, I had to hit the homey up. When I inquired about any mixes he'd like to do for this very site, he hipped me to the fact that he was already working on a massive mix, throwing together DnB inna Hip-Hop style mixtape, with drops and blends and such. Seeing as he's affiliated with T.I.'s Grand Hustle crew (this was recorded in their studio), he has some exclusive drops from Grand Hustle artists, as well as some dope DnB/Hip-Hop mash-ups - not to mention his own special blends and exclusives ("Exodus VIP" with Armanni Reign on it?!?!)... with Ricky Raw and Kakarot MC playing host, this package is perfect for those who want something both familiar and excitingly different for their ride to work/the club/wherever...

DOA Q&A: Original Sin

I've been sitting on this Q&A for a bit - loads of demands going on. I'm making some headway, and unleashed what I think is a pretty dope Q&A with Original Sin, who was 1/2 of Generation Dub. He speaks on his Dr Feels Good EP, his recent success and accolades and his forthcoming ALBUM, Grow Your Wings!
