BACK2BACK DJ BATTLE
BACK2BACK DJ BATTLE
UK’S official LIVE & OPEN-FORMAT
DJ Tournament in London
MTV reality TV meets Boiler Room style DJ battles
how it works - DJs
This is a year-long competition with four qualifying tournaments and a grand-finale. Aiming to find London's next up-and-coming DJ. Think MTV reality TV meets Boiler Room; where 8 DJs battle to win the hearts and minds of the audience and judges, to make it through to the next round… All in one night!
During the first two rounds of the competition, DJs have 5 minutes to get the crowd pumping to a musical journey, tailored to a theme or bpm range randomly selected at the start of each battle. Their goal? Rally the crowd to cheer louder for them than their opponent, securing their spot in the next round.
There’s a panel of expert commentators to provide feedback and fair judging. The final two DJs standing will showdown in a 15-minute battle of pure Back 2 Back transitions, determining who will be crowned champion. Each winner of the tournaments will be invited back to the All-Stars battle in November to fight once more and win a DJ slot at a UK Festival managed by Riot Noise.

Get ready to be part of the action! #ChooseYourFighter
Show your support for the DJ who keeps you dancing or leaves you screaming for more. We'll have a decibel sound measure in place to decide the scream-o-meter.
Each tournament is rowdy, sweaty and full of good vibrations. It becomes a party, a singalong, a dance-along, and sometimes gets deafening when it came down to voting - but it was all worth it to crown the winner.
