We have been a bit off the radar lately, the last few weeks have been hectic (started a new job…yay!), hence the lack of posts. To kickstart us off again we will be bringing back our ‘Track of the week’ feature but this time with a little twist.

Each Monday we will pick our favourite new release of the week and we will be giving away 1 free copy to a lucky reader. We will try to pick releases that are Vinyl or CD as sending a mp3 doesn’t really make much sense. We will randomly select a winner the following Monday. This will keep rolling on each week, so if you dont win the first time, dont worry you will have plenty of other chances.

How To Enter

Step 1 – If you havent already (and you only have to do this once), become a fan of the Beats For The Planet Blog facebook page by clicking here

Step 2 – ‘Like’ that weeks track of the week post on the Beats For The Planet facebook page. The first one will be posted next Monday, 19th September 2011.

Its as simple as that, then the follow Monday we will announce the winner on the blog and facebook page. Good luck everyone.
