What if you had the chance to mix the soundtrack of our generation?

How it works:

1. Participating DJs must register online through Sonicbids.

• Please include a bio, video links, photo and most importantly upload your mix. This mix should be between 15 & 20 minutes and incorporate three different styles of music. (Any style goes whether it’s hip-hop, house, rock, country, top 40, etc - as long as it could be the perfect after party soundtrack.)


• Additionally we would like a ‘personal statement’… What inspires you to DJ? How do you read & interact with your audience?

2. The Gen Art panel of judges will narrow submissions to 12 finalists. Judging will be based upon track selection, creativity, flow of beats and technical skills. Final selections will be made by a panel of established mainstream DJs including DJ Skribble, DJ Irie, DJ Rap, Sam Young, and Sean Ray.

3. Finalists will be notified by June 10th, 2011 and winners will be announced publicly at the Gen Art Film Festival on June 14th, 2011.

4. Winners will play at the Summer Screening Series after parties to be held in Los Angeles & New York throughout the summer. Dates are TBD. This gig will PAY $500!
