Mix Master was created and structured to be the biggest DJ mixing competition the UK has ever seen. Utilising the latest technology, Mix Master allows DJs to produce live sets from the comfort of their own homes, in front of a panel of industry professionals and an audience. The benefits of online streaming will allow DJs to enter the competition from all over the UK without facing the presence of logistic problems. The competition has no bias. We have seen DJs mixing on the entire spectrum of DJ equipment and several different types of music genres.
Auditions
Each DJ that has made it to the audition stage will have a 10 minute live time slot to show the judges their skills. Each DJ will be allocated a date and time to audition in front of the judges. There will be three judges watching and they will give the DJ’s feedback once the audition has finished. They will also be marking the set out of ten. There will be an audition leader board and the top 72 scoring DJ's will go through to the First round. If there are DJ's with the same score in position 72, the judges will decide who goes through. The golden headphones! Four judges can give one golden headphone award to one contestant in the audition stage. This will see them automatically placed in the Mix Master 2023 Semi-Finals!
