The North vs. The South vs. Europe – The 2008 quest for the hottest undiscovered club DJs sees
7 knock-out heats taking place in
London,
Birmingham and
Antwerp…
The chosen few progress to 2 Semi-finals and 1 hell of a London based Grand Finale…
Our mission is simple: to unearth the UK and Europe’s breakthrough unsigned DJ talent,
providing a platform for tomorrow’s top club DJs to set the decks on fire and show the
world what they’ve got.
The D-Joust 2008 is open to single DJs and DJ groups playing all styles of house / breaks and associated genres.
IMPORTANT UPDATE - Due to royal mail problems and popular demand, the demo deadline for London and Midland
heats has been extended to 1st August. The Antwerp date has been extended to the 18th July.
Demos must be received by these dates. Registration costs £5, click here to register.
CLUBBERS – Keep an eye on the site for the latest information on competition DJs in the run
up to the live contests. The competition is going to be absolutely ferocious so you can expect

events.
