Ta fram mixerbordet…

… och delta i Let Love Rule Remix Competition!

23 April 2020 – I ett initiativ för att inspirera under dessa utmanande tider, har jazzgitarrstjärnan Dekel Bor och Ropeadope Records lanserat en tävling för att upptäcka de bästa remixerna av Dekels senaste utgåva, "Let Love Rule". Under tio månaderna av tävlingen kan DJs och musikfans vinna priser varje månad, av dessa priser finns bland annat en chans att vinna en låt på ett remixalbum av Ropeadope records, ett live-framträdande, en musikkurs och musikutrustning från flera märken, bland dem Sennheisers ikoniska HD 25 DJ-hörlurar.

A chance to show off your remixing skills
​Jazz artist Dekel Bor is calling on all DJs and music fans to join the competition: “The present times are very difficult for artists and their fans, to say the least. No concerts, no shows, no festivals…” explained Dekel. “With the competition, we would like to spark your creativity as DJs and there are super-attractive prizes that can be won.”

How to participate
​To enter, visit https://www.dekelbor.com/ and download the stems, then work your DJ-ing magic. Upload your finished track to Soundcloud, and share it on your socials tagging Dekel Bor on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Winners will be announced via Dekel Bor’s social channels. “We will create a remix album from the winning tracks, with all profits going to hospitals affected by the coronavirus crisis,” said Dekel Bor. “Confined to our homes, sharing acoustic soundwaves became a thing of the past. Even a cello, a handclap, my mom's voice – when shared online, through a speaker – becomes electronic. These are the times when the only sounds shared – are electronic sounds. These are your times.”

Free musical advice in Zoom sessions starting April 23
​Starting on April 23, there will be weekly Zoom sessions at 20:00 Berlin time (CEST, 18:00 UTC), where contest participants – and also all other interested musicians and DJs – will be able to ask questions to and get musical feedback and advice from seasoned industry professionals. The Zoom link will be published every Thursday on Dekel Bor’s social channels.

The guest advisors will include Grammy award-winning Robert Sadin (conductor, arranger and producer for Sting, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter), Wulf Muller (A&R for Universal Music, Sony Music), Mike Bindrabban (Booking Agent and Promoter for Snarky Puppy, Brad Mehldau, Tigran Hamasyan), Dave Darlington (Mix and Mastering for Miles Davis, Madonna, David Guetta), Helik Hadar (Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock), Mark Agnesi, Director of Brand Experience for Gibson Guitars, Louis Marks, the CEO of Ropeadope Records and others.

Over the first three weeks, the Zoom sessions will feature Louis Marks on April 23, Robert Sadin on April 30 and Wulf Muller on May 7.
