Minitek Festival
Minitek & AirDrop remix competition
Had enough of myspacing all the bigshots telling them you are the next hot thing and send tracks that are never listened to? now is your chance to have your very own track released on a respected label!
minitek and AirDrop Records have partnered to create the minitek remix competition. Fase Miusic Sender, who will be making their US debut at the festival, is making their AirDrop release Lejano Oeste from their new Tres EP available for remixing. AirDrop's label owner, some of the label's artists and the minitek team will be the jury that picks the lucky remix to be released on AirDrop.
As an up and coming label, AirDrop focuses on discovering new talents. The NYC and Buenos Aires based label has already proven itself as a respectable imprint with bangers from Fase Miusic Sender, Franco Cinelli, Soul Clap, several other talented mini-tech-house artists from around the world.... and soon maybe you!
For the competition, we will make the parts of Fase Miusic Sender’s Lejano Oeste available for remixers to download, work on and transform into one or more bomb track. Parts will be available in the next few days, but check their track on beatport for the time being! The winning remix will be released on AirDrop and presented at the festival...!
Details about runner up prize packages will be released soon!
A few sites from my feed collection
No Rockstars - a huge downloadable collection of DJ sets from UNKLE to Carl Cox to Sasha to Modeselektor to Resident Advisor DJ sets, and so on. This is gold.
Samurai.FM - one of the better FM sites that has solid content. it only streams, but if you have the right tools, you can snatch it from their site. it doesn't natively have a feed, so i created three for the three parts of the website:
Beta Lounge - also one of the better sites with solid content. a bunch of streaming dj sets.
Update: Beta Lounge site now has a feed link. Link above has been updated. And here's another I just discovered:
Electronic Explorations - downloadable DJ sets.
