Hailing from 24 different countries around the world, DJ’s far and wide are gearing up to compete for a spot in the finals of The Red Bull Thre3style World DJ Championships held in Chile this coming December.

The event – in its 7th year, is set to be the competition’s biggest yet, spanning throughout the week in the lead-up to the grand final.

After a month-long selection process with hundreds of entries from across the nation, our Aussie reps have finally been selected and boy are they a strong bunch.

The Australian finalists will compete to represent the country at the international championships next Friday, July 1st at 170 Russell in Melbourne.

Each contestant’s 15-minute set will be judged according to originality, skills, track selection, stage persona and most importantly crowd response.

No strangers to the game, each competitor brings with them a unique set of skills and individual styles – making for an interesting night of fire tracks and what we’re anticipating to be very close competition.

Friday 1st July
170 Russell, Melbourne
Free, via RSVP
Special Guests: Shintaro (2013 World Champion), Byte (2015 World Champion) and Perplexx (2 x AUS National Champion)
