So show us what you've got, have a bit of fun, and with any luck kick off that career in music you've been wanting

*Edit: Oh, and if you're not interested in performing - you're free to come along and watch the competition, of course!!

What about me asshole do you have to be in uni or tafe?

Yes. You have to be a student currently enrolled in TAFE or University in SA.

DJ Competitions are great, and I'm looking forward to seeing this one unfold!!!!11

***************

Sounds like an awesome opportunity! i'll be there to support for sure!

rofl wanted to do to your mother, never went thru with it jeeze decode beter
anyway BACK ON TOPIC
it say secondary student, i might have to sign up for school

i will be there to support you guys

Hmm, thinkin about it... Might play a trance set... Or a comercial one, so that most of the crowd know the tunes and wistle and go nuts to songs they all know!

sounds like a good idea.. and you know i'll be there jumping up and down in the crowd for you!

From what I understand the set are only 10 to 15 mins long, so you will ahve to be very creative in how you drop in each song, definetly could not play full songs with that sort of time frame. Think of it as speed mixing a lot of fun to watch and do I think. If I could mix I'd do it just for the laughs involved

Far out, this looks like it could be fun!!! I'm signing up!

I wish i could, i'd bone cetra

Hmm, have to work on my speed mixing then... Shouldn't be too hard with trance!

yeh trance is gay you should learn to scratch mix

Ah i'm not massive on scratch mixin... I'm more of a beat juggler than a scratcher... hope it wins the crowd... i'm prolly gonna apply soon... then start practicing asap...

this looks awesome pity i dont have the required tunes, equipment or skills to apply...

migh check it out tho.

Ben, you will have to let me know when you have entered and I will definately be there to support you!
And the other anthems DJs..

Just letting everyone know that the decks are likely to be Technics 1200s. The Uni Bar will be hiring them in specifically for this event.

Not sure of the mixer yet - finding out in just a moment.

nice work on getting technics in there
the mixer is a 4-channel 'jim beam' thing but i have no idea on model. it was pretty good to use

They may not be able to use the JB Mixer, because this event is being sponsord by Smirnoff (I originally thought it was Jim Beam though :S), so I don't think they're "allowed" to use the JB equipment.

Which is a good thing though, it means they'll likely hire in a club standard mixer to go with the 1200s

ahhh very nice! shaping up to be a fun night

lol they should be 1200's anything else and me thinks alot would think f**k it who's entering from anthems?

Looks like Suni, Cetra and NokturnL at the moment

i heard DJ seman was going to be compeating too, have i been missinformed?

Havent heard of him, is he apart of anthems? or is another strange daana joke??

Hey! since i found out it will be all vinyl i prolly wont be entering...

I am a CDj... but meh if someone can provide me with vinyls i'll gladly put in the effort!

you should borrow a single 10 minute record off someone and walk over to the bar

lol! That'd be funny as! premix and press a vinyl then go to the bar n have a few drinks come back, raise your hands, and TAKE A BOW!!!

All Vinyl?

frak I'll bring my Own CDJ's

awww look at all the CDR whores

CDJ = future.

CDJ = Cheaper

CDJ = Esily play your own tracks

CDJ = harder cos it's digital

CDJ = GOOD

Just letting you all know that less than 10 people have signed up to this, so basically everyone has an extremely high chance of winning:
