Red Bull presents Thre3style World DJ Championships

Red Bull Thre3sytle pits the world’s best DJs in a competition that values technical skill as much as the ability to thrill a dancefloor. Competitors are judged on the dual platforms of technical ability and crowd reaction, and are given just 15 minutes each to prove that they’re the best in the room. Judges work to a strict criteria that also marks DJs on their originality in song choices, confidence performing and mixing prowess.

Thre3style’s roots lie in Canada, but the idea behind the competition is global: get people dancing, keep the party vibes coming and up your game until you’re the DJ that brings the perfect set.

After sifting through applications from some of the top DJs in the nation, judging panel DJ Jazzy Jeff, Four Color Zack, DJ Hedspin, Skratch Bastid, and Z-Trip have selected 60+ participants to compete across 12 regional qualifiers leading up to the 2015 Red Bull Thre3style USA Championships.

In the Chicago regional qualifier, DJ Arkitek, Boi Jeanius, Jake Hill, DJ Kwiet Storm, MaddJazz and DJ Metro will battle it out at Concord Music Hall on Thursday, February 5 at 9pm. Judges Four Color Zack, DJ Hedspin, and Trentino will select one DJ, based on technical ability and crowd reaction, to advance to the Red Bull Thre3style USA Championships in Phoenix, AZ.  Out of the 12 regional winners ultimately one DJ will advance to represent the USA in the 2015 Red Bull Thre3style World DJ Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
