The Next Big Thing DJ Contest 2004

June 10, 2004, New York, NY - Futuremusic, a multifaceted, electronic music concern, announced "The Next Big Thing" - the largest DJ contest of the year.
The winner of the contest will receive an incredible suite of the latest DJ gear, and open for Super Star DJ John Digweed on his US tour this summer.

"The Next Big Thing" is open to all US based, non-professional, house music DJ's who don't earn the majority of their income from DJing.
"In today's climate, it's very difficult for a DJ to get a big break solely from their DJ skills," Futuremusic's Dan Brotman reveals. "We're giving a DJ the opportunity of a lifetime...to open for a superstar DJ, at a large club, with a proper sound system, in front of an enthusiastic crowd...what more could an aspiring DJ want?"

Well how about the latest DJ hardware and software to take the winner's skills to the next level? You got it. The winner of "The Next Big Thing" will receive a prize package that will include 150 free tracks from dance music's best digital download site, Beatport.com, an Ozma Digital Audio Workstation from Alienware, a software suite from Native Instruments, DJ gear from Technics, cutting-edge digital mixing software from PCDJ, a complete turntable suspension system from FreeFloat, The Grabber from Peavey, 100 promotional CD's of their mix from The DubHouse, and much more!

Contestants will need to download the official entry form and rules from Futuremusic.com and submit a 60 minute, house music mix on CD. The mix has to be achieved on vinyl turntables, digital turntables, such as Pioneer's CDJ-1000's, or a combination of the both. The winner will have to demonstrate their DJing to verify their skills prior to opening for Digweed.
