Monthly Challenges

Finish more music. Win actual prizes.

Members only - free to members, closed to the public.

Every month, a new challenge drops. Sometimes it's a remix contest. Sometimes it's a sample pack challenge. Sometimes it's something completely unexpected.

The goal? Simple:
Finish a track.


No endless tweaking.
No "I'll get to it eventually."
Just you, a deadline, and real prizes for the winners.


How it Works:

A new challenge is posted monthly.

Clear rules, deadline, and prize listed in each challenge

Submit Your Track

The judging will be done by Dr. J, with occasional guest judges help.

Submit your finished track by April 1 Here,

Submission information available to members only! 

Details: 

At the beginning of the month, I'll provide you with a small sample pack. Your job is to make a new track using only those samples. 

You may not use any other samples, but you can generate as many samples as you can by modifying these. Think about putting them into samplers, making drums out of them - get creative! 

Prizes:

The winning track will be the one that shows the most creativity (not the most technical production skill) based entirely on Dr. J's opinion.

First prize:
Signed print copy of Dr. J's Writer's Block book, + gift membership

Second & Third prize:Digital copy of Dr. J's Writer's Block book + gift membership
