Competition Categories
DMC Classic
The foundation of DMC. The Classic category is a showcase of precision, musicality, and originality—where DJs deliver tightly constructed routines using turntables and mixers as instruments. This is where traditional turntablism meets modern creativity, blending beat juggling, scratching, and storytelling into a championship-level performance.
DMC Open
No limits. No boundaries. DMC Open is the most progressive category—welcoming all styles, setups, and approaches to DJ performance. From digital innovation to hybrid live sets, this is a platform for pushing the art form forward and redefining what a DJ set can be.
