Step Two: Share your mix on Plugged In
- Note that you will need to be registered in order to submit your mix. For those not already registered, you can do so below or via this page.
- Once you’ve recorded your mix and are ready to share it from Mixcloud, head to the Tracks page of Plugged In, then select Add Track to get started.
- On the Add Track page, simply paste the URL of your mix into the ‘track URL’ field, and name the mix accordingly. You must also select ‘Competition’ under the ‘select category’ field for your entry to be eligible (see below).
- Once you submit you track, it will now be visible when you filter in our ‘competition’ category within the Tracks channel. You’re all set!
