This month sees the UK label Lot49 launch of an exciting competition for new producers. The top 14 entries will be given a fast track in the industry by having their winning track on a ‘New Lot’ comp in 2010. The prize includes a three single deal, inclusion on the comp and big prize pack of studio software and bits that will take their production to the next level. The comp is judged by a panel of leading industry figures including Timo Maas, Orbital, D Ramirez, James Zabiela, Steve Mac, Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes.

Having enjoyed success within Techno, Electro, Tech-house & Breakbeat genres, Lot49 has released the likes of Dubfire, Lutzenkirchen, AudioJack, Lee Coombs, Robbie Rivera, Marco Bailey, Vandal, Audiofly, Miles Dyson, D.Ramirez, Evil 9, Infusion, Bassbintwins & Elite Force.
