Find out who got their demo fully finished by pro Producer Mark Maitland
After receiving a phenomenal number of entries to our Mark Maitland Finish my Demo contest, we whittled them down to our favorite three and picked a winner.
The Winner: Zac Zacharia
Huge congratulations go to Zac Zacharia house music producer, DJ and award-winning barber shop owner from Adelaide in Australia. We picked Zac's Tech House track "Things You Do" and Mark transformed it into a fully finished ready-to-release track.
The track is now being shopped to labels so Zac could soon be going from barber shop star to Beatport star!
We caught up with Zac over a Zoom call where he listened to the final transformation for the first time!
