Following the success of Beatport’s 2020 Producer Challenge, Loopcloud and Beatport have teamed up once again to announce the biggest music production challenge of 2021, in collaboration with Beatsource, LabelRadar, and Plugin Boutique.

Covering six genres — Techno, House, Drum and Bass, Mainstage/EDM, Hip Hop & Trap, and Reggaeton — producers can enter their original track that fits into one of these musical genres by July 15th (23:59 PT) to be in the running to win music gear and subscriptions from our $100,000 prize pool. 

Thirty finalists across all six genres will be crowned winners by our expert curation teams on August 6th. Each finalist will receive $2,500 worth of equipment and services from Beatport, Beatsource, Loopcloud, Plugin Boutique, Producer Tech, CloudBounce, iZotope, Softube, and Ujam.

Five finalists from each genre will be considered for a full release and promotional campaign via six different prestigious record labels, including Shogun, Rekids, Def Jam, Nervous, DJ City, and Spinnin’ Records.

All finalists will then go head-to-head in a public vote to be in with a chance of winning the grand prize — a dream studio setup worth $30,000. 

Before entering the competition, producers can download a Participant Pack to create an original track. Every entrant can take advantage of the free plugins, sounds, music courses, and DJ services worth over $200. Download the Participant Pack here.

When your track is ready, upload it to LabelRadar before Thursday, July 15th, for your chance to win!
