Academy of Electronic Music
Point Blank, in association with Armada Music, Google+ and DJ Mag, have been presenting the Academy of Electronic Music. It's the world's first socially-driven online music school, giving aspiring music producers and DJs the chance to share their best tracks, get feedback from peers, industry experts and their favourite DJs and producers, plus the chance to be mentored as the world's next superstar producer. The ultimate prize is to get your track signed to Armada Music – awarded best global dance label for the fifth year running.
Point Blank's Ski Oakenfull has been providing professional music production training for seven lucky finalists via the flagship Electronic Music Composition course. This course is designed to allow students to take the next step in their productions by teaching the fundamentals of composition and creative songwriting.
The Academy of Electronic Music allows electronic music fans from around the world to tune into the Academy, follow their favourite producers, collaborate with one and another and access professional music training via interactive Google+ Hangout tutorials.
The hangouts were broadcast live throughout October and November from Point Blank's YouTube channel, and you can catch up with the ones you missed by heading over to this new section of Ski's site.
