*** CONTEST CLOSED***

Here’s a big opportunity for you aspiring producers: Mark Knight and Toolroom Records have teamed up with Beatport to launch a fresh and exciting co-production competition.

This competition aims to give up-and-coming producers the chance to work with one of the industry’s leading artists, launch their music career with the world’s premier dance label, and be financially rewarded for their work, receiving 50% of publishing and an equal share of artist sales royalties.

The basics of the competition are simple. Mark Knight will upload an eight-bar loop to Beatport (available as of June 10th) and one MIDI part (the bassline, but do with it what you will!) to the Toolroom online store. Entrants must finish the production, give it a name, and upload it to Beatport’s SoundCloud Dropbox for the competition by July 15th. Please note: Upon submitting your entry to the Soundcloud group for the Mark Knight Co-production competition please ensure the ‘Downloadable’ box is unchecked

The winning track, as chosen by Mark Knight, will be announced on July 19th and released in physical format as an ‘exclusive track’ on Mark Knight’s forthcoming Toolroom Knights CD (out Oct 2010), as well as made available on Beatport.
