Brought to you by the same people behind Outlook, Dimensions festival is new for 2012 and is due to take place from the 6th-9th of September with Carl Craig, Little Dragon, Theo Parish and many more all in the mix of the awesome line up.
We’ve teamed up with the Dimensions crew and our friends over at Soundcloud to offer aspiring producers an amazing chance to get their track pressed on to two exclusive dubplates, digitally released, win an all-expenses paid trip to this year’s Dimensions Festival in Croatia, and a Point Blank Pro Producer course of your choice!
All you need to do is make an original track and upload it to SoundCloud.
After two rounds of public opinion based judging a selection of entrants will be shortlisted and will go on to become the finalists.
Special guest judges from the industry will then listen to the final productions and, along with their feedback on SoundCloud, three winners will be chosen.
