"Attack the Block" DJ Competition, in association with BassLaced

Attack the Block is the hilarious and terrifying debut film from broadcaster and comedian, Joe Cornish (The Adam and Joe Show), and featuring a soundtrack from Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe (aka Basement Jaxx) and Steven Price.

To celebrate the film's release on Blu-ray Double Play and DVD, we've teamed up with dubstep pioneers BassLaced, in association with GetDarker and Juno DJ, for a very special DJ competition. The best DJ will play a set at 'BassLaced Gets Darker' (alongside the likes of Joker and Toddla T), and win £500 worth of DJ equipment courtesy of Juno.

'BassLaced Gets Darker' will be held at Cable nightclub on Friday 21st October, and sees a huge line up descend upon “London’s best club venue” (Time Out Magazine). Performing on the night will be Joker, Toddla T, Mensah, Kromester, Tunnidge and DJ Darkside. This competition gives you an incredible chance to play at this unique event while being broadcast live to the world via GetDarkerTV.

We're looking for DJs to reflect the vibe and sound of Attack the Block's soundtrack. Get inspiration by listening to the album on Spotify, here. In addition, all competition entries must begin with this fresh Attack the Block DJ Competition introduction, which you can download here.

Attack the Block

Described as “Nothing less than the new Shaun of the Dead” by Empire, Attack the Block is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space.

Starring Nick Frost, John Boyega, Luke Treadaway and Jodie Whitaker and executive produced by Edgar Wright, Attack the Block is released on Blu-ray Double Play and DVD on September 19th. Pre-order your copy here
