You know the one. The friend who always ends up on the aux, whose playlist saves every road trip and house party. Now imagine that friend on a proper stage, with a real crowd and real speakers. That’s what Mix Master is here to make happen. I have all the brilliant details you need to know, so keep reading to find out how you could even stand the chance to win AED 20,000!
What Is Mix Master?
Mix Master is a DJ hunt by AKS × Team Innovation, and the mission is simple. Find Dubai’s next big DJ! It’s made for emerging DJs, the ones who haven’t been handed a real stage yet. If you’re mixing in your room late at night, or you’re always the one in charge of the music when your friends get together, this one’s for you.
How Your Sound Gets Heard
It starts with your mix. Record your best Bollywood commercial or Indo-tech mix and upload it on the Mix Master website. No fancy setup or big introduction needed, just your sound.
Next comes the shortlist. The team listens to every single mix, so every submission gets heard. If yours makes the cut, you’ll move on to the exciting part.
Shortlisted DJs get to take the decks at Team Innovation & AKS Nights, in front of a real crowd. Safe to say this is when things get super real. At this stage, it’s the crowd who votes, and the judges who score. Both count, so you’ll need to impress the people on the dance floor and the people with the scorecards. When it’s all done, one DJ takes the title.

What’s Up For Grabs
The top 3 DJs will win prizes worth AED 20,000. And the winner gets even more… A residency! That means your name on the line-up, week after week. For an emerging DJ, that’s the kind of regular spot that can really build a name.
