About

Blindside Lounge hosts its DJ Tryout Showdown, a single-elimination competition between 16 Austin DJs, with sets spanning hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton and Afrobeats. Each edition starts at 9 PM and the crowd decides the winner through votes cast by guests attending, with the champion taking a $400 cash prize. DJs enter by submitting a non-refundable entry fee: the first 16 paid entries secure competition spots, and additional interested DJs are placed on a waitlist, arranged by direct message to the venue. Entry spots are limited.
