Designed to plug the hole left by the demise in popularity of traditional DJ competitions and inspired by the epic parties that rock Section 8’s containers weekly, this is an all out celebration of the city’s best producing talent.
In 2015 the 100% Phat Music family were triumphant after an epic Grand Final against DJ crew All Good and 2016 proves to be even better with the quality and quantity of applications expected to improve.
The application must be accompanied with a link to an online accessible mix on Soundcloud or Mixcloud. Teams also require at least three members and are provided with a budget for their set, décor, lighting and visuals.
Winners receive the opportunity to mix the official 2016 Battle 8 mixtape, and will be billed for a primetime slot at Section 8’s yearly Melbourne Music Week Laneway Celebration, ZOO. There will also be prize-packs provided by the event sponsors.
