BBE DJ mix competition

Juno Download has teamed up with BBE, Who Sampled and Mixcloud to bring you an exclusive DJ mix competition.

BBE was founded on a love of good music, and that’s what they’ve strived to give you ever since. The line-up of artists that have released their music includes such greats as J Dilla, DJ Vadim, DJ Spinna, Keb Darge, Paul Weller and Cut Chemist, and DJ Marky. Spanning 14 long years, Barely Breaking Even records has always eschewed publicity to focus on what matters most: the music.

In association with Mixcloud and WhoSampled.com we welcome DJ’s across the world to browse the BBE catalogue and create a mix. The winner’s mix will be released on BBE later in the year.

How to enter:

• Lay down a mix containing only your favorite BBE releases, selected from across their catalogue which you can access via Juno Download.
• Upload your mix to mixcloud.com and name it BBE Mixtape Competition 2010
• Use the custom artwork provided here (right click and save-as the image) as the cover-art for your mix and tag it “BBE competition” – if you fail to tag / name correctly it might get missed!
• There will be two rounds of judging, the first round closes on the 16th of July and qualifying mixes will proceed to the final round which closes on the 30th of July.

Judging Criteria:

First round will be based on the Cloudcast data – Entries with total number of plays greater than 100 will be considered along with number of favorites and the community feedback in the comments – the top ten go through.

The second round of judging will be based across a combination the following criteria: originality, selection, depth, creativity, and musicality.

The finalists will be chosen by our panel of esteemed judges: DJ Vadim and Richy Pitch.
