The song to mix is called "Wenn Du Mich Fragst" by my own project "gross & starck". On Spotifiy, Bandcamp, iTunes, etc. there are two songs already, which may be used for referencing.
This time, you can win prices. At this point I want to thank the company Acustica Audio from Lodi in Italy, that made this possible, and the two mastering engineers Zino Mikorey from Berlin and Kai Blankenberg (Skyline Tonfabrik) from Düsseldorf. I think it's awesome what they do for the community! Thank you very much!
We decided to also open this contest for people from outside Germany. This is why we chose English as language. You're all welcome and we hope you'll enjoy the contest. Deadline for submitting your mix is 18.03.2018, Sunday, zero o'clock midnight.
