Meanwhile, there are still plenty of competitions going on, offering you the chance to soundtrack Channel 4‘s forthcoming Athletics coverage, a chance to play the after-party at the South West Four Weekender, a guest spot on John Digweed’s Transitions Radio Show with Beatport or a whole host of goodies from the grand-daddies of house music Strictly Rhythm.

We’re also involved with an epic campaign in partnership with Dazed Magazine offshoot Satellite Voices, in search of budding DJs from the world over to create mixes that represent the unique music scenes of their home cities. Whether that be Paris, Moscow, Shanghai, Munich, Rome, Santiago or Dubai, take a look here and show the rest of the world how its done.

Best of luck to anyone entering these competitions, we’ll be working hard to put together more of the same over the coming months.
