Beatport, in partnership with Loopcloud, is calling on music makers from around the world to enter the 2021 Global Producer Challenge. The competition has a $100 000 prize pool including a $30 000 studio.
Original song submissions in one of six categories – house, techno, drum and bass, hip hop and trap, mainstage/EDM, and reggaeton – will be accepted.
The challenge follows the success of the inaugural edition last year, which was won by UK-based Afro-house and techno producer dj1mrn.

- Each finalist will receive $2 500 worth of equipment or services.
- Five finalists from each genre will be considered for a full release and promotional campaign via prestigious labels Def Jam Recordings, Nervous, DJcity Records, Shogun Audio, Rekids or Spinnin’ Records.
