“What I really like about the B-Side Project is the imaginative way it’s merging new original artist talent with the skill of producers to create exciting dance music and then promoting that music for exploitation either as recorded music or for use in film, television and advertising.”

“The Remix Awards provides collaborative opportunities for artists from different genres of music and a platform for emerging dance and electronic music producers. It was a fantastic awards event at Metropolis Studios and I’m looking forward to the next one.”

“This is an amazing project, well done for getting it off the ground. We can see the project acting as external A&R for us, with co-management of producers we agree we should approach to work with. You’re on the ground level seeing new talent across the globe.”

"The B-Side Project has been very good to me!! I am connecting with new cool other artists for co-ops. And I really love my new setup! With this professional gear i can really make the difference. I feel like a PRO already"
