To kick off 2021 on a high note, we’ve partnered with AIAIAI to launch a new mix competition alongside other key industry players, including, Benji B, Charlotte de Witte, Ableton, Native Instruments, Novation and more, with some huge prizes up for grabs.
For this competition, we want you to channel your 2021 vision into a 60-minute mix. Be sure to pull out all the stops for this one, as there will be a talented and influential team of trusted music ears to compile a shortlist, with Benji B in the hot seat to crown the winner – and he’s always on the lookout for new undiscovered talent.
