      Our team listens.

      Three DJs selected artistically. Not an automatic top-score podium.

    Before you hit submit

    The rules.
    No fine print.

    A real mix. A real entry. An artistic selection.

    1. 01

      Mix length must be between 30 and 90 minutes (both included).

    2. 02

      Accepted styles: House, Deep House, Indie Dance and Tech House — built for an intimate loft opening, not a mainstage peak-time set.

    3. 03

      Your first mix for this call is free. Extra mixes need an active SOONOS subscription.

    4. 04

      A comment or message on social media is not an entry. Only an uploaded and analyzed mix counts.

    5. 05

      SOONOS scores help our team listen, but the final choice is artistic. The highest scores don't win automatically.

    6. 06

      Selected DJs must be available in Amsterdam on Oct 23 & 24, 2026. The exact place is shared privately with them.

    7. 07

      The 1 month of Discover is given to valid entries when results are announced.
