Deadline for DJ of The Year Competition Fast Approaching

As part of Skiddle's exciting involvement with the Bass Camp Dance Village at this year's Wickerman Festival, we've launched a nationwide competition to find the UK's best resident DJ. The deadline is June 30th so if you haven't already uploaded your mix to www.skiddle.com/dj, don't delay! 

As well as being crowned Resident DJ of the Year, The winner will enjoy a three-stage prize in conjunction with prestigious UK agency, Connected DJ and Artist Management.

Stage one of the prize will involve an exclusive management consultation with Connected DJs to discuss career development, and the stages and processes involved in moving forward in the music industry. 

Stage two of the prize is a ‘Marketing Master Class’ with house music starlet, and Wickerman hero, Sonny Wharton. DJ Mag stated, “What makes Sonny stand out from the pack is his combination of talent and determination”. In this master class, Sonny offers a wealth of priceless experience that will involve how to promote yourself as a DJ and producer, and develop your unique selling points.

Stage three will see the Winner receive a studio tutorial session with Connected rising star, Ant Brooks. Ant has released on labels such as Defected, Cr2, Toolroom Records and Steve Angelo’s Size Recordings and is undoubtedly one of house music’s future stars.

Rich Dyer from Skiddle explains:

“We wanted to do something a bit different so have put together this amazing comp for any DJ who thinks they have got what it takes to enter. We have also decided to mix it up a bit away from the usual bedroom comp, so entrants need to hold a club residency. We’re really hoping to find some budding stars who are already out there, playing clubs and who want to go to the next level; we’re looking for the resident DJ of the year!”

Entry details: 

All entrants must have been a club resident for at least 3 months.

To enter, you need to create a profile and upload a mix on www.skiddle.com/dj  

Last date for entries is Thursday 30th June
