AIAIAI co-founder Frederik Jørgensen said:
“We want to give people the inspiration to create and to keep exploring their talent during the current covid-19 pandemic and beyond. Together with our partners at Point Blank Music School, Novation, and Ableton, with the AIAIAI 2021 Mix Contest we’re giving material help with a paid fee, some incredible hardware and education prizes, as well as a platform alongside some of the best DJs in the world. Runners up prizes will be chosen by our community.”
The competition ends on February 28th.
The mix comp follows the recent AIAIAI release of the first in a new short film series giving an exclusive insight into some of contemporary music’s leading artistic talents. Made available via AIAIAI’s YouTube channel, ‘My Process’ launched with Nubya Garcia, the multi-award-winning saxophonist and composer whose debut album SOURCE brought her wide critical acclaim last year.
