This is your chance to get judged by the following dance music legends;

MJ Cole

Regarded as one of the innovators of the 2Step and UK Garage sound, MJ Cole has led a diverse and inspirational career including the seminal Mercury Music Prize nominated album “Sincere” released on Talkin’ Loud in 2000. Currently MJ Cole's DJ sets are more in demand than ever before, appearing regularly at the worlds hottest Dubstep, Garage, House, Funky and Bassline parties. His own Prolific label continues to draw huge praise from the underground with brand new release “Riddim EP” from MJ Cole dropping in April while Nero’s Dubstep remix of “Sincere” continues to devastate dance floors every time it’s dropped.

D. Ramirez has been traversing the globe delivering the exciting sounds of deep house and techno to unassuming dance floors through his meticulous DJ sets where loops, tricks and FX are intricately laced with exceptional accuracy.  He’s achieved five top 20 hits, played on every continent picking up various prestigious awards along the way.

Crissy Criss

To say Crissy Criss started out young is an understatement. On the decks at the age of 9, a festival gig in Essex a year later, playing Kiss FM at 11, messing around with productions at 13 and securing a coveted slot on Radio 1's The Residency when he was just 17 years old, it’s fair to say few DJs and Producers have achieved this much in their entire careers. In 2007 he secured a weekly slot on 1Xtra where he has been a regular fixture ever since. In addition to his widely supported Drum & Bass productions and remixes Crissy Criss was responsible for the 2009 Dubstep anthem “Kick Snare” with Youngman on V Recordings. Catch his show every week Thursday 0100 – 0400 1Xtra.

Yeah feel free to send us another version with details outlining this is the correct entry. Remember competition doesn't close till June 1st so you still have plenty of time to keep working on your tracks. No need to rush things.

Alright (: I was also wondering how many different songs you were allowed to send? For example, if I made a second remix which was perhaps dub-step instead of dance remix, Is that allowed?

If you cannot accept submissions featuring uncleared copyrighted material, does that mean we can use other sample packs that we can prove are royalty-free if need be?
