The Prizes

Twenty winners will receive one of these very special 4-track EPs - this release will be the first publicly available example of a new, bioplastic vinyl alternative developed by Evolution Music as part of their mission to decarbonise the production of physical product in the music business.

Partners and long term MDE supporters Ninja Tune and Secretly Group have donated two tracks respectively for the release to create this unique piece of music history.

ANGEL OLSEN – Big Time – the title track from her recent critically acclaimed album, described by Rolling Stone as “a jaw-droppingly confident step into the spotlight.”

BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD – Bread Song – the fan favourite taken from their UK Number 3 album Ants From Up There, a standout release of 2021 with 5* reviews in The Observer, NME, The Line of Best Fit, The Independent and more, it was named ‘Critics Pick’ by the New York Times and described as “exceptional” by Pitchfork in their ‘Best New Music’ review.

PORRIDGE RADIO – Back To The Radio – the lead single from the band’s third album, Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky, described by Pitchfork as “an anthem for feeling everything, all at once, and having no idea what to do about any of it.”
