The Red Bull Thre3style UK final comes to London’s Koko on 17 November 2010. The DJ competition will be judged by two of the world's hottest DJs, A-Trak and Kissy Sell Out, and features very special performances by both.
The final will see eight DJs who have conquered their regional heats battling it out for the title of Red Bull Thre3style UK champion, with the winner going on to the international final in Paris.
The rules of Red Bull Thre3Style ensure that the competition is a perfect marriage of technical DJing and party rocking prowess.
Participants have to play a selection of at least three genres or styles of music in 15 minutes. It doesn't matter what genres of music are chosen as long as the DJ can make them work together.
All DJs have to play off the same set up – two decks and mixer. No mixing programmes are allowed and DJs are judged on track selection, creativity, mixing skills, stage presence and crowd reaction.
The winner will receive an all expenses paid trip to Paris for the grand final, time in the Red Bull Studio in London and a cheque for £1,000. The overall winner at the Paris international final will be crowned Red Bull Thre3style champion and win a cheque for €5000.
Following sets by the Red Bull Thre3style contestants, further performances on the night come from Canada’s most respected DJ A-Trak, one half of chart slaying duo Duck Sauce and the first DJ to win all three major DJ competition titles.
The UK’s very own Kissy Sell Out will also be playing on the night having judged the semi finals across the country. Additional judging talent comes from Mixmag’s very own Nick Stevenson and Time Out’s Clubs Editor, Kate Hutchinson.
Red Bull Thre3style began in Canada three years ago and is now one of the biggest international DJ competitions in the world, taking place in 10 countries around the world, with the final going down at the end of the year in one of Europe’s most notorious party cities, Paris, France.
Internationally, the competition will be held in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, UK and the USA, making the event the most global DJ competition ever seen before.
Each country will hold qualifying DJ contests and the top national DJ will compete at the final in Paris in December 2010. The winner will be the first international Red Bull Thre3Style champion and they will have the crowd's official stamp of approval that they can rock the party like nobody else.
