The second volume of the Eclectic Breaks and Turntable Radio compilation, Cuts of Culture, is being prepared and to celebrate its forthcoming release we’ve got a competition for all the beatmakers and musicians out there to give you the chance to appear on the DVD of the compilation as well as bag a copy of 2tall’s recent ‘Peaceful Warrior’ record.

The deal is simple: Cuts of Culture vol 2 will feature a DVD alongside the mix CD and we’re looking for beats/instrumental tracks to use as background music for the DVD menus. So we’re asking people to send in their contributions to win the chance to be featured on the DVD.

Below are the full details of the competition, which ends on the 23rd of June 2006.

As for Cuts of Culture vol 2 itself, it’ll follow the same format as the first one, with a mix CD by 2tall featuring tracks from tablists, DJs and producers around the world. Alongside that will be a DVD featuring a variety of worldwide footage – live shows, freestyles and more. We’ll be dropping more info on all this in the summer, and trust us this one is going to be bigger and better than the first one, but in the meantime here’s your chance to be a part of it!

Competition details:
- Beat/instrumental track must be free from copyrighted samples and scratches
- 1 submission per person
- Judges decision is final
- Beat/track must be submitted as a .mp3 (at least 96kbps or more) or .wav. The winning beat/track will have to be submitted to us as a high quality .wav if it hasn’t already. Participants are responsible for submitting the track to us either by email, ftp or download link (yousendit.com etc…). If sending by email attachment can’t exceed 10mb
- All entries to be emailed before the deadline to laurent AT spinscience.org.uk with the beat/track as either an attachment (no larger than 10mb) or a link for download (filesize can be anything you want)
- Deadline is 23rd June midnight, GMT. Any emails, links etc… received after that will not be valid
- Any submission that doesn’t match one of these criterias will be disqualified

Things to bear in mind:
- The beat/track is to be used for a DVD menu so don’t submit stuff which takes 5 minutes to build up. Loops are fine, though they should be at least one minute long
- Headnodding factor, musicality etc… are what we’re looking for, to give people something to nod to while flipping through the menus

Prize details:
Out of the received entries we will choose 2 winners. Each winner will receive the following:
- Use of the beat/track on the Cuts of Culture 2 DVD menu with full credits
- 1 copy of 2tall’s ‘Peaceful Warrior’ scratch record and 1 copy of the finished compilation (CD and DVD)
- Use of the beat on future Turntable Radio shows with full credits
