Sound Clash comes to SA

Miller Sound Clash is an international global DJ-search competition and is open for entry to all DJs globally hosted by Mix Cloud, a global music-streaming service that offers a blanket music licence and can legally host DJ mixes. Miller Sound Clash South Africa brings a high-energy fresh twist to the competition by encouraging competition entries to submit mixes that mash-up hip hop, house or other suitable South African music genres to electronic dance music. This fresh twist to the competition will ensure that the winner of Sound Clash South Africa is able bring a South African beat to the popular EDM sound of Las Vegas.

In search of the South African winner who will battle it out against other international finalists, Miller will host a local heat in Joburg with local judges DJ Sphe and Naves of Metro FM. An additional renowned DJ personality will be announced later this month, and will feature on the judging panel.

Grand finale

Miller Sound Clash will culminate in a grand finale on-site DJ battle in Las Vegas with the winners of all the different countries performing at a premium Las Vegas super club in late September 2015.

The winner will be offered a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Las Vegas. The five-day programme will take the winning DJs behind the velvet ropes of the city's elite clubbing scene, after which one final winner will take the grand prize.

The 12 participating countries this year, including South Africa, are: Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Paraguay, Columbia, Canada, Hungary, Turkey, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Argentina, and Costa Rica.

Entries are now open and aspiring local DJs are invited to load their music on Mix Cloud with the hashtag #MillerSoundClashSA over the next five weeks. Entries close on 21 June, 2015. Go to www.millersa.co.za for competition details.
