:: BREAKING NEW TALENT IN THE SUN

Innovation in the Sun 2005

DJ at Innovation in the Sun 2006

1Xtra's annual D&B trip to the sun is almost upon us again... and we want you to join us!

Innovation in the Sun is returning to the resort of Lloret de Mar in Barcelona for its third year of 160+ BPM madness.

Mickey Finn and Lloyd Innovation explain all:
"Last one in the pool buys the drinks!"

As always, 1Xtra will be broadcasting live from the event. L Double will be talking to the DJs on his Connexions show on Tuesday 20 June, and we'll be recording the opening night for broadcast on Saturday 24 June.

This year, 1Xtra will be taking one budding DJ with us. You'll fly out with the DJs, stay at the same hotel and play at the 20 June night.

If you are a drum and bass DJ and think you have the skills to play alongside L Double, Bailey, Crissy Criss and Andy C, send us a 30-minute live M1X (not done on a computer) before Sunday 30 April.

The entries will be judged by L Double, Bailey and Mickey Finn. Each will choose their favourite and those three mixes will go head-to-head online.

The mixes will be online for a week and 1Xtra listeners will vote for the winning DJ.

Here’s what ya need to do...

1) Record a 30-minute D&B M1X on a CD or minidisc.

2) Write up the tracklistings.

3) Send the mix with your name and contact details to:

Breaking New Talent in the Sun
1Xtra
PO Box 1X
London W1X

This competition closes on Sunday 30 April. No mixes will be considered after that date. The three winning entries will be announced on L Double's show on 9 May and the mixes will go online the same day. Voting closes on Weds 17 May and the winner will be announced on Flight's Next Chapter show that night.
