September 24, 2018 – Starting today, music producers and enthusiasts around the world are invited to showcase their skills by taking part in Afrojack presents “Global Remix Battle I” powered by PMC Speakers, a global search to discover the most talented yet undiscovered producers. In partnership with PMC Speakers, the global search will seek to uncover a new crop of music producers and then give them a huge platform to have their talent noticed. The winner will be personally selected by Afrojack and will have the opportunity of a lifetime when their remix is released on his label Wall Recordings, and have a chance to get signed to Wall Recordings/LDH Europe. Afrojack is CEO of LDH Europe, part of the globally recognised LDH management company originally founded in Japan. PMC Speakers will also reward the winner with its latest award-winning PMC result6 studio monitors.
Afrojack’s “Global Remix Battle I” is open to people from all over the world at the website www.afrojack.com/globalremixbattle where you can download the remix parts of a track taken from Afrojack’s new “Press Play” EP, which was released on August 31st, 2018. Entrants will then be asked to remix a track in a way that showcases their skills and style before uploading it to the website where it will automatically be entered into the contest.
Earlier this year, Afrojack announced a global vocal battle audition to find new singers for the next big pop act. This search is currently underway with many finalists now selected from around the world and recently flown to Japan for performances and auditions to Afrojack and the team of experts at LDH. This time, the contest is open to any music producer looking to get their work noticed on a global stage and be mentored by the dance music icon. The winner will have the chance of a lifetime to be signed to a record label and be managed by one of the premier international management companies in the world with an impeccable range of artists. Upon being signed, the winner will work very closely with Afrojack who will teach, guide, and help the producer grow as an artist professionally on a global scale. The winner will follow in the steps of other successful artists who Afrojack helped build careers for such as Quintino, R3hab, Fais, MC Ambush and many more.
“I can’t wait to see who and what we discover from this search, this is the first time I’ve decided to look for new music producers through this remix contest and I know it’s going to be super exciting to see what comes in! For me, these are the guys that are day in, day out making it happen, being creative, and putting it all together. If I can help spotlight some new talent and give people a chance to start a career, that’s something I feel so blessed to do.” Afrojack said about the global search. “Plus having awesome partners like PMC Speakers and LDH Europe only makes this so much better, we’ve assembled the best of the best with this team, it’s going to be a very cool opportunity.”
