Tim Sheridan Label Remix Comp Exclusive to Point Blank

Tim Sheridan and his label Very Very Wrong Indeed Recordings (VVWI) are offering Point Blank students an special opportunity to remix an upcoming release from Josh Tweek on VVWI. This competition will be completely exclusive to students at Point Blank - a fantastic opportunity to gain a release on this highly respected label as well as some other great prizes!

Tim has been a stalwart of the house and techno scene for over 20 years, regularly playing at major UK clubs such as Cream, Fabric, Back to Basics and The End as well as holding down various residencies in Ibiza. VVWI has had props from the likes of Radio Slave, Justin Martin, Spektre, Style of Eye, Luke Solomun, Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Emerson Todd and Ivan Smagghe amongst countless other big name DJs. The VVWI events are famed for their raw vibe and huge lineups whilst the label’s releases gain consistently excellent reviews.

The rules for the remix are pretty simple: Needs to make people dance!

The deadline for the competition is 12th of December and the winning remix will be chosen by Tim Sheridan himself.

The winner will get the following:

• Their remix featured on the full release.
• Hearing their track played at the next VVWI night on the 17th December at Light Box
• VIP entry on the night for them and 4 friends.
• Other VVWI Goodies.
• 
  

Before entering we recommend you get a feel for the murky weirdness of VVWI so take a listen to their back catalogue or check out Tim Sheridan’s Myspace.

As an extra bonus, there will also be a £5 concession on the night at Light Box for any student or staff of Point Blank.

If you are a student please get in touch to attain the remix parts or to get yourself on the concession list. The deadline is less than 3 weeks away so you’d better get tweaking!

The Point Blank Forum is Here!

The forum has always been a crucial feature of the learning process for music production students at our online music school; A place where they can interact with their fellow students, share their latest tracks and probe their tutors for any extra nuggets of knowledge not covered in the course material. Until now however the only people with access to the forum have been the paying students. We figured that this was going against the raison d’etre of a forum… they should be open to all, encouraging as many as possible to interact with each other, and in doing so build up a buzzing community of people who share the same passion.



So we are excited to announce the Point Blank forum. It works just like any other forum out there, you can embed content from youtube and soundcloud, and add a unique signature which appears after all your posts (an ideal place to put your myspace details or your latest tune from soundcloud). It may be slightly slow going to begin with as we spread the word and let all our students, past and present know it exists but please stick with it. With your help this will hopefully become one of the liveliest and of course friendliest music forums out there.

So come along, introduce yourself and get chatting. Feel free to suggest any categories that you feel would benefit the forum too… the forum is all about you and we are always open to ideas!
