Between weeks

How it works
01
Before the night
Put your name in
Sign up here ahead of time. It takes a minute and it is free.
On the night
Be in the room
Names are drawn at random from everyone who turned up, on Wednesday and again on Thursday. You have to be there to be drawn.
If you're drawn
Twenty minutes
Any style you like. No set theme, no genre assigned, play what you play.
02
Your page
Somewhere to send people
Every DJ on the board gets a profile here, photo, bio, links, mixes. Share it anywhere.
Every day
Voting runs daily
Once your week opens, it is one vote per person per day until it closes. The people who show up for you can keep showing up.
At the door
Bring your people
Anyone who comes to The Warehouse and gives your name at the door earns you 2 extra votes on a night you play.
03
Weeks 1-4
Open Decks nights
Two nights a week, Wednesday and Thursday. You get drawn, you get twenty minutes, you play whatever you want. Voting for the whole week opens Friday 9:00 AM and closes Monday 9:00 AM, so both nights land on one board and being drawn early is no advantage.
Weeks 5-6
Challenger nights
Every DJ from all Open Decks nights is in. Where you land depends on your votes.
Week 7+
Seeded knockout
Top 100, then 50, 25, 10, and a final between the top 5. Climbing early pays off.
Full challenger and knockout rules are published after week 3.
