This just in – the International DJ Association (IDA), alongside Pioneer DJ, has announced the first-ever Online Party Rocking Battle during the IDA World DJ Championships 2023. Winners will receive some coveted prizes from Pioneer DJ, including the DDJ REV-5, the XP2, and more. Keep reading for all the details on how to enter. 

The IDA World DJ Championships showcase DJs from around the world while promoting the art and culture of turntablism. 2023 introduces the “Party Rocking” category in September, followed by the Scratch Battle in November, and the main event, the Show & Technical category, returning to Kraków, Poland on December 2.

The Party Rocking Championship is a competition for any and all DJs who use CDJs or two turntables, with one mixer or MIDI controller, and no extra gear. The philosophy behind this new category is that a true “Party Rocker” DJ only needs a simple DJ setup, skills, and music selection to take the crown. Judges will look for originality, turntablist skills, various music selections, and most importantly, the set’s vibe.

The online Party Rocking Battle is going on now! To enter, record and submit a 6-minute video via the IDA website registration form. You’ll need to upload the video using Wetransfer and include a short bio and photo. 

With Pioneer DJ powering IDA 2023, you know the prizes are highly sought after. The first prize includes the Pioneer DJ DDJ REV-7, DDJ-XP2, and the HDJ-X7. The second prize will award the DDJ REV-5, DDJ-XP2, and the HDJ-X7. Finally, the third prize includes the DDJ-REV1, DDJ-XP2, and HDJ-X7.

Alongside Pioneer DJ, official IDA 2023 partners include BPM Supreme, Magma Bags, Red Bull Mobile, Champion, Vinilificio, Forum Przestrzenie, Zooteka, Going App, RMF MAXXX, and Sureshot.
