UPnXtDJ Competition Spotlights Rising Youth DJs Ahead of DJX 2025
Submissions now open for nationwide contest; winners will perform live at DJX in Atlantic City.
Austin, TX, June 26, 2025 — BASSBOSS, a proud partner of the UPnXtDJ Competition, announces that submissions for the 2025 contest are open and have been extended through July 8, 2025. As part of DJX’s nXt initiative — a program focused on nurturing the next generation of DJs through education and live performance — the nationwide competition gives youth under 18 a chance to showcase their talent behind the DJ decks.
The competition, now in its third year, is open to anyone under the age of 18 residing in the continental United States. Submissions are judged by a panel of expert DJs, including DJ K-Sprinkles, with additional surprise guest judges to be announced soon.
The grand prize for the first-place winner includes a pair of Reloop Turntables, a Reloop Mixer, and a complimentary Intermediate/Advanced nXt DJ Summer Camp class. The winner will also receive hotel accommodations at the Hard Rock Hotel in Atlantic City for themselves and a guardian, and the opportunity to perform on stage at the DJX Show, the largest DJ expo in North America, taking place August 11–14, 2025, in Atlantic City, NJ.
Second and third place winners will each receive a Reloop Mixer and the chance to perform a DJ set at the DJX Show. The top 10 contestants will also have the opportunity to perform at the BASSBOSS booth during the event, gaining invaluable exposure and hands-on experience.
All contestants will receive two DJX Show Exhibit passes (one for themselves and one for a guardian), along with a lifetime subscription to DJ LIFE Digital Issues & Newsletters, helping them stay connected to the latest in the DJ industry.
“Having the opportunity to share their skills with the wider DJ community is invaluable for the next generation of talent,” said Lian Amber, CEO of BASSBOSS. “We can’t wait to hear what these young DJs are mixing in their shot at winning the contest!”
In addition to BASSBOSS, sponsors for this year’s event include the DJX Show, #NoChaser Kidz Café, Reloop, and Xone.
