Dead Famous is holding a contest that is centred around acid-drenched music (the legendary Roland 303 sound). More details below.
We at Dead Famous are looking for new acid producers, The prize? We're offering a release with Dead Famous Recordings to the producer who turns us in the best acid inspired tune. That said, while we are breakbeat focused, by no means do all entries have to be breaks. We encourage everything from house and breaks, to techno, or dubstep - whatever! The only rule is that it must use acid. How much is up to the producer, but it must be present. Between us, and a few other great labels, we are all working hard to bring this sound back to the forefront...and discard a few brain cells along the way.
*The winner's tune will see a release on Dead Famous Recordings over the next year.
*All entries must be sent to us in 320 format by September 30th, 2009. Please email entries to brokenbeatnik@yahoo.com
*All genres welcome - but note the types of music we release. While you may like your 180 bpm acid gabber tune, the chances of us releasing it are not great.
*Entries are allowed to contain known material, however - we're not trying to release a bootleg here, so use discretion, and be clever about how you do it. (we understand that sometimes things just fit in context), No Lady Gaga remixes with heaps of acid, please.
*All entries must contain acid. In what form, and how much is up to the producer, but the more it melts our face off, the better a chance you have.
