And now it's time for our talent search producer winner, congratulations freq444!
freq444 came in our mailbox as an unexpected surprise package. A DJ Mix at first that was so mind-blowing that we almost forgot to listen to their other submission. "Lost flight" almost really got lost, luckily we did catch this flight as after playing it, it felt like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day during a listening session with over 500 submissions. Making our minds float to dreamy old tracks of Aphex Twin or newer work of Bicep and the good old feel of experimental classic breakbeat and abstract electronica with flowing chords. A carefully curated track by great producers who gave their track time and room to breathe and make you wanna press repeat and unknowingly start to humm it the next day. A track that without any lyrics is able to represent the feelings of a lockdown, of sadness transforming to hope and happiness. We played this track over and over at our HQ and although this gem is still unmastered we could only daydream how it would sound after a proper mastering treatment. As acts could only submit for one category, we decided to make this choice for them. The vote was unanimous in the end. We like to congratulate the boys from Freq444 with the winning track of our Ampere Talent Search contest in the category “Producer”, winning a vinyl release and so much more. We can’t wait to get this future classic on vinyl and available for the world to hear.
We do like to let you know that we decided to have more winners/runner up's as the level of quality of all submissions was so high that we decided to release more music on vinyl for eps and compilations. Those producers have been or will be contacted by us personally, if you did not win or have not been contacted yet, but you do like to have feedback on your submission. We will be happy to answer your questions or give us our honest opinion or feedback on your submission. We like to thank everybody for their musical creativity and productions. It gives us so much hope for the future to hear so much great music being made. We are overwhelmed by the huge interest in this talent search and the effort everybody put into their productions. So give yourself a mega big up, and please remember there are no losers or winners here, theirs only great music and the freedom to learn.
More information on runners up, upcoming radioshows and the releases + shows can be followed on our Ampere page.
We also want to thank our amazing partners who helped us put together a prize package that undoubtedly will help to boost the winners their careers. Thank you! Deepgrooves, Bax Music, Pioneer DJ Belgium Arturia, TURNLAB, FG Xtra & Sound Architecture
