GENERATION NEXT: Producer contest announcement
I have always been interested in new artists. Anyone who makes Grime music. More than anything I am a Grime fan, so finding new talent both excites and inspires me.
We have already ran a number of competitions for MCs (which we have some unfinished business to deal with very soon) but this time I want to open a platform for the many talented people around the world who are making Grime beats right now. Because, to paraphrase a classic tune.. "if it wasn't for the music, I don't know what we'd do".
Through my label Earth616 I have had the pleasure of working with talented producers starting out their journey such as Maniac, Teeza, Preditah and most recently TC4. I want to once again use the platform I have as a prominent DJ within Grime to shine light on talented creators of this music we all love.
Starting next Monday, for the next 3 weeks we will be accepting submissions from ANYONE who wants to take part. A page will be set up wherein you can send us an mp3 file of your intrumental track where it will be uploaded to the KeepinItGrimy SoundCloud and included in a public vote to choose 4 quality Grime beats and hopefully unearth some great new talent!
As it stands, all I can say is that the 4 most popular tracks will be offered the chance to be released on my Earth616 label on both digital AND limited edition vinyl with all the profits going directly to the artists! But there will be more added as we go along.
So please spread the word, you may get the opportunity to see your work pressed onto a vinyl and released. And at the very least your music will be collected in a play-list of exciting new Grime which may get you noticed even if you are not voted as one of the top 4. The hash tag is #GenerationNext so get involved and get your beats ready for Monday!
I hope this can be a really positive thing for everyone and word spreads far and wide so we are flooded with amazing new music to enjoy.
Thanks for your time and I will see you all again right here next Monday.

Big thanks to the artists as well, all of you, who have submitted their tracks! Without you guys we wouldn't be able to do this.... and without you guys we would have no future in the Grime scene! 10 years deep this genre has great history of showcasing new raw talent and that is what Generation Next is all about! Dizzee, Tinchy and Tinie were all impressing us before they hit 18 years old and hopefully we will find another future star to emerge from this amazing scene!
Let's get down to the details:
Generation Next 2 will be available to download absolutely free on MONDAY THE 29TH OF OCTOBER through this blog and the Kiss website at 7pm. I will of course be smashing it on Twitter as well, so follow me to get the link @DJLoganSama
I will release the tracklisting for the mixtape on Friday evening so all you young MCs can gass up all of your followers and supporters over the weekend and really make this mixtape pop off on Monday night!
If you want to find out exactly who has made it on to Generation Next 2 then return right here on Friday night to find out!
But that is not the end of this project! Oh no! We will be opening a poll where the public can vote for their favourite tracks on the CD. The top 5 rated MCs will be invited down to Kiss to record their very own Generation Next After Hours session and record freestyles for the KeepinItGrimy YouTube channel!
We received some great entries and I am really excited for you guys to hear some of the young talent on show within the Grime scene. And if you didn't get your track in time and think you have what it takes.... Generation Next 3 will be coming back around sooner than you think!
Respect and don't ever stop KeepinItGrimy
