Soundium DJ Contest 2025

First, you had to register and select the time slot when you would arrive at our store in Vilnius to record your DJ mix. Yes, this meant that you had to physically come to our store to do that. The registration process opened 2025 10 13 and ended 2025 10 26. We were not able to provide time slots for participants who did not register in advance. When you arrived at our store, you had to have your music with you! The mix was recorded live (both video and audio). The recorded video was featured on our YouTube channel 1-2 days after the mix. Recording of DJ mixes started 2025 10 27 and ended 2025 11 27. After recording the mix, each participant had to provide us with a playlist of the mix by filling out a special form, and could write a couple of sentences about the mix as well. The winners were selected 2025 12 04 and announced on our socials.

No! We did not limit this contest to specific genres. Of course, many DJs mix electronic music, but this was not a necessary condition for participation. What you chose to mix was up to you. We just asked you to find the time to come in and demonstrate your talent + skills.

This contest is planned to happen each year and we needed to think of one detail that would separate yearly contests, so we decided to go with this. It's a challenge, but it's doable. We were not saying those 2025 tracks had to be the key tracks of your DJ mix, but they had to be in it. Hopefully it lets us see how the music mutates through the years (or doesn't - but that's also a very interesting thing to observe).

No, the contest was free entry.

You got a 1,5 hour slot (1 hour 30 minutes) for EVERYTHING. Your mix had to be ±1 hour long. The remaining 30 minutes were for you to calm down, manifest your affirmations or do whatever you do before starting to DJ, and then you had the time to come back to Earth after your mix. We also needed some time to air out the DJ booth so the next participant could come in after you.

You had to be at least 18 years old.

3 winners in total were selected and announced on 2025 12 12. The 1st & 2nd prize winners were selected by two well-known local DJs - DJ SWIX & YOUWIN TRAX. The 3rd prize winner was selected by yours truly, team Soundium.

Yes, you were on video. Your recorded mix (video and audio) was featured on our YouTube, so you, us and everyone else can see it. What if the mix turned out to be crap? If after the mix you decided not to participate, we talked and found a solution.

Yes, sure, why not. We allowed 2 people at the decks (as long as you agreed to split the prize into two parts). More people were only allowed at the booth as dancers!

We're not here for a long time - we're here for a good time!
