NEWS: Stylus Who's Got Next CD Submissions (April 7th One Day Sale)

hyperadmin | News | Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Deadline for submissions to this year’s Stylus Who’s Got Next compilation CD is April 18th BUT for tomorrow only (April 7th) they’re offering a $5 discount for the submission fee which takes it down to $15. In my opinion it’s worth the $15 (0r $20) just to have your song screened by the panel of DJs that pick the songs that ultimately end up on the comp (i.e. you’re guaranteed that a crop of influential DJs will hear your song at least once). If you actually get picked you get tickets to the show, tickets to the BBQ plus a bunch more worthwhile stuff. Anyways…just my humble opinion. More info below.
