Canada’s 18th annual Motion Notion Festival has teamed up with Vancouver’s event powerhouse Do604 to launch one of the largest DJ contests of the year – PLAY Motion Notion 2017 . Accepting submissions from now until April 29th, Motion Notion x Do604 invite regional, rising talent from Alberta and British Columbia to submit their 15-minute mix via Mixcloud for consideration.
