DJs worldwide: you’re in with a chance of winning $1,000 in this DJ competition

Clubs and festivals might be closed and postponed, but that doesn't mean DJs have to put a pause on spinning tunes entirely. That's where the MegaMix DJ competition, hosted by international recording artist Sir Ivan, aka Peaceman, comes in.

In an effort to support out-of-work and up-and-coming DJs from around the world, Sir Ivan's inviting DJs to submit a mix for the competition, with $1000 each going to the top five winners. On top of that, Sir Ivan will be making a donation of $5,000 to Insomniac's Rave Recovery fund, which was set up to provide relief to dance music fans affected by COVID-19.
