Grand Prize Winner: Keith & Supabeatz remix

Names: Keith (aka Marco Palazzo) and Supabeatz (aka Alberto Sansò)
From: Bologna, Italy
Ages: Both are 22
Remix style: Electro house

These two young aspiring producers were thrilled to be chosen as the winners for this competition. 

When asked how it felt to be selected they said, “Wow! We’re so excited. We are listening our remix and are so happy...we are crying and laughing!”

Collectively, the two have several years experience between them.  Supabeatz has been producing music since 2001 and DJing since 2006, with an album released on Hypotron/Irma Records in March of last year.

Keith began producing in 2000, and only started DJing last year, with his first EP due out on Hypotron Records this coming March.

As far as other projects go, Supabeatz also has his hands full with En Masse, and prior to Hypotron Records Keith worked with Jato Music.

The two still can’t believe they’ve won and say, “Thanks for this huge opportunity; we want to thank all the DJs and producers who took part in this competition. Music is our life… music is life!”
