How It Works
Here's the whole season, laid out simple, plus easy steps no matter what part you want to play. Every mix in the Open Prelims is judged blind — no names, no faces, just the set.
The Event Structure
The whole season, start to finish — five stages, one crown. Every date below is tentative and every venue is announced closer to that date.
Registration
Grab one of 20 spots — first come, first served. Once you're in, send us a mix when submissions open. Judges score it blind (60%), fans vote blind (40%) — nobody hears a name until the pool is set. Top 8 make the season's pool.
Season Draft Day
An online draw places all 8 pool DJs one at a time — each one revealed, then dropped into a leg and a semi-final slot — until the whole bracket is set. No in-person event, no seeded or defending DJ.
Leg One
Four of the pool battle live in a Roar-Off — same 60/40 judges/crowd method as always. One DJ is crowned Leg One Champion.
Leg Two
The other four battle live, same Roar-Off method — 60% judges, 40% crowd. One DJ is crowned Leg Two Champion.
The Coronation
The two leg champions battle one more time, one final Roar-Off — 60/40 as always — for the season's biggest prize and the crown.
Full Season Flow
Every DJ slot, every set length, from your first mix to the crown.

Try It Yourself
Not real data, just a feel for how the two moments that decide everything actually work.
The Decibel Reader
A preview only — the real reader is a physical decibel meter, live at every Roar-Off. It captures the crowd's 40% share of the score.
The Season Draft Day Wheel
Fixed placeholder names — spin to reveal the next DJ, spin again to place them in a semi-final. Nothing here is saved or real.
Steps For DJs
- Register. Only 20 candidate spots for the whole season, first come first served. It's quick and free, and you do not need a finished mix yet — you're claiming your place in the running. If you don't register, you can't submit a mix later.
- Make your mix. Record a 25-minute music mix. It has to be house music. You get about a month once mix submissions open.
- Send it in. Go to the Submit page and give us the link to your mix — we'll already know the rest from your registration.
- Wait and see. Judges and fans listen to your mix and score it blind — your name never shows, just the set. Real talent, tested — not a popularity contest.
- Check if you made it. If you're in the top 8, you're in the game!
- Come play live. Show up on your battle night and play your best set for the crowd.
Steps For Fans
- Listen to the mixes. Go to the Vote page and listen to each entry — every one shows up anonymously, so you're hearing the mix, not a name you already know.
- Pick your favorite. Vote for the one you like best. You only get one vote!
- Try guessing. Guess who you think will win. If you're right, you could win real money.
- Come to the show. Watch the DJs battle live and cheer for who you like!
- See who wins. Watch the champion get crowned at the end of the season.
Steps For Judges
- Get your access code. The event team gives you a secret access code.
- Go to the judge page. Type in your access code to get in.
- Listen carefully. Listen to each entry's whole mix, start to finish — you'll never see who made it, only what you hear. Score the mix, not the name.
- Give your score. Rate things like song choice and how smooth the mixing is.
- Click submit. Double-check your sliders first — a score locks the moment you save it. You get a 10-minute window to undo it yourself if you change your mind; after that, the event team can clear it for you.
