Hi Everyone!

Well, Summer is heating up, and so are we at Next Level Sound! 

And all of this amazing energy has inspired me to create a new course:  

Next Level Sound Remix Contest 2018

Is it a course or a contest?  It's both.

It's a course with a contest built in.  And of course a big prize!  

The Format:

• One month Course starts Monday, July 9th.

• All participants will remix a track that I have selected and will make available on the first day of class.  (Don't ask me what it is, it's a secret)

• The selected track will have both electronic and organic elements and lots of vocals stems to play with.

• Participants will have 26 days to create an original remix, which will be due on Friday, August 3 at 12 am midnight New York time. 

• Participants can do the remix in any genre or style they choose.  1 remix per participant.

The Schedule:
