The winner will follow in the steps of other successful artists who Afrojack helped build careers for such as Quintino, R3hab, Fais, MC Ambush and many more.

“I can’t wait to see who and what we discover from this search, this is the first time I’ve decided to look for new music producers through this remix contest and I know it’s going to be super exciting to see what comes in! For me, these are the guys that are day in, day out making it happen, being creative, and putting it all together. If I can help spotlight some new talent and give people a chance to start a career, that’s something I feel so blessed to do.” Afrojack said about the global search. “Plus having awesome partners like PMC Speakers and LDH Europe only makes this so much better, we’ve assembled the best of the best with this team, it’s going to be a very cool opportunity.”
