DMC Italy Final

The Italian DJ Battle season continues with the most anticipated event of the year: the DMC 2026 Italian Finals—the gateway to the World Finals in London (date to be announced).

LOCATION:

SGHETTO CLUB Bologna

Via Emilio Zago, 16/B, 40128 Bologna

DATE: Saturday, May 2nd

Doors open to the public at 8:00 PM; Soundcheck at 5:00 PM.

JUDGES and artist lineup: To be confirmed.

This year, we have decided to feature two categories:

1) CLASSIC 6-Minute Routine

2) SCRATCH Battle: 1-on-1, single-elimination format.

These two battles must be contested exclusively in person; there will be NO online entry option available for Italy.

Competitors must arrive by 5:00 PM for soundchecks, battle organization, and the draw for performance order.

Equipment required to compete in the Classic 6-Minute and SCRATCH categories:

Digital or Analog Mixer, Stylus/Needles, Slipmats, Headphones, and—naturally—records/vinyl specific to your chosen software or analog routine.

On stage, you will find Technics turntables in perfect working condition, dedicated tables/stands, and stage monitors.

PLEASE NOTE:

In both the Classic and Scratch Battles, participants are judged based on pre-established criteria that adhere to the global circuit's guidelines:

Technique, Flow, Innovation, Execution Cleanliness, Originality, Style, and Stage Presence.

Registration entries must be submitted urgently to:

Your registration submission must include: DJ Artist Name, Hometown/City of Origin, and the Battle Category(ies) in which you wish to compete.

You are permitted to register for both categories.
