For all you electronic music producers, making beats in your bedroom and playing house parties for your friends—this one’s for you. Following the monumental success of The Untz Challenge last year, TheUntz.com and its partners are bringing back the annual competition which pits DJs, producers, and electronic artists of all stripes in a battle royale for a boatload of prizes and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Once again, for 8 weeks this fall, fans of electronic music will vote for their favorite tracks in a March-Madness style tournament. Beginning today and continuing for the next two weeks, The Untz will be accepting submissions for the competition. Artists, performers, and producers of all skill levels and strata are encouraged to enter. It takes just a few minutes, and it could change your career forever.

The magnitude of this year's prizes has escalated dramatically. For the past few weeks, TheUntz.com has been releasing one piece of the finalists' prize pack at a time. On the gear side of things, our top 4 finishers will choose from a quartet of amazing live performance and studio hardware. Up for grabs are the X10 DJ mixer, U2 workstation and USB media player, and the DJM-303 twin USB mixer—all from DJ Tech—as well as the impressive Novation TWITCH DJ Controller. When all is said and done, the grand prize winner also gets 30 free hours of studio time with Tyler Crawford Unland of What! Music. Over the course of 4 days, our winner will work closely with Unland in his Ft. Collins studio to craft their very own EP.

The final prize, which has been kept under wraps until now, will prove to be the most coveted of them all: an opening spot for Lotus in 2012. Playing around 100 shows annually around the US, the band will determine the best date and market for the Challenge's winner, and they will get to open that show for Lotus' throngs of devoted fans. The huge force in live electronic music is experiencing their biggest year in a decade-long career, headlining festivals big and small (including RE:Generation, North Coast, and Summer Camp, among others), co-headlining Red Rocks with The Glitch Mob, and producing their seventh studio album. The eponymous 11-track album (Download link: lotusvibes.bandcamp.com/album/lotus), which has received much critical acclaim, was released on SCI Fidelity just two weeks ago. Without a doubt, this is a golden opportunity not to be taken lightly.
