Spotify, last week, finally got round to opening their services up to music lovers across America. And now we have the chance to stream full albums for free, download the songs we like and sync our spotify accounts with Facebook, Twitter and iDevices.

This recent release comes as Spotify passed the 1 million subscriber milestone across Europe and continues to grow. To celebrate Spotify’s landmark achievement the guys over at Spotify HQ have offered Point Blank a limited number invitions for users to use the service for free.

To get your hands on the streaming service, all you have to do is head over to Point Blank’s Facebook page, ‘like’ it and send your name and email address to james@pointblanklondon.com. You will then be contacted with a link to download Spotify and create and account. Remember there are only a limited number of invitations, so they will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.

Point Blank is an online college for Music Production and has lots of great classes geared towards Electronic Dance Music taught by some of the biggest names in the business. They also offer some free Tutorials on various aspects of production, check it out.

Looking to further your career in Dance Music as a producer or remixer? We recently came across Point Blank Music School and checked out the numerous programs they offer. I was impressed with the large assortment of classes working with some of the top platforms for Apple OSX: Producing with Ableton Live, DJing with Ableton, Logic Pro, Reason, and Cubase. They also offer classes in all the major genres of Dance Music like: Trance, House, Minimal, Electro House, Progressive, and Hip Hop as well as Songwriting, Mixing, and DJing classes. Their new Mixing Dance Music course looks especially interesting as the mix is one thing that really makes a track shine. In this course you get to upload tracks you created for the teacher to critique and give you pointers on how to get the most our of your sound. DJ Mag has awarded them the “Best Music Production & DJ School” for the past six consecutive years which is pretty impressive.

Check out their course catalog to see what’s right for you.
