D-Nox & Beckers announce Beatport remix contest

D-Nox & Beckers announce Beatport remix contest

When is one of the hottest duos in the current club scene really a trio? Why, when D-Nox and Beckers invite you, the public, to remix their music!

Over the past half decade, the team of Christian “D-Nox” Wedekind and Frank Beckers has become a mainstay of the electronic-music community. With over a quarter century of combined DJing and production experience between them, D-Nox & Beckers effectively merged their styles to release projects on various top labels including their own Sprout [l]. Along with constant remix requests from artists such as Minilogue, Lützenkirchen, Nick Muir, Tocadisco and more, their tracks have become ubiquitous on dancefloors worldwide.

Their brand new release ‘Call Me’ is their latest for Baroque Records [l], and we are giving everyone the chance to remix it. D-Nox & Beckers have provided a comprehensive package of parts, and Beatport and Baroque Records have teamed up to offer some very special prizes.

‘We have always enjoyed working with Baroque,” say the duo. “We released some of our biggest tracks thru them, so it was about time to get back and do something really special! The idea was to produce a fresh tune from us that could be remixed by new & established producers alike. We have made a track with plenty of elements for a producer to work with on this remix project, and so we wish everyone the best of luck…and can’t wait to start receiving the entries! Thanks!”

Read on to find out how to enter.
