"VIBES" Kicks Off National DJ Tournament

COVID-19 may have halted many things relating to "outside", but one thing it won't stop is the music. With Instagram becoming a hub for all things live, VIBES: The Game For Music Minds, is kicking off a national DJ Battle Tournament tonight! Running until June 4, DJs from New York, California, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, St. Louis, and Texas will battle it out for 20 mins/2 rounds. Showcasing various genres, the battle happens through VIBES' Instagram Live, and the winner is determined through votes by the live audience.

Washington D.C. DJs Nnocent, Crossfade, and Q were the latest to duel in a battle previously recorded before COVID-19 struck. This new round will feature current D.C. champion DJ Honey, New Jersey club producer DJ Fade, and Las Vegas radio host and DJ Kelly J amongst others, battling it out in order to advance to the next round of battles leading up to June 4th where one DJ will emerge the champion. When the smoke clears, and a DJ wins that round, DJ Mike Reed and Jamahn Bey look over what just transpired in "The Breakdown" aftershow. With plans to expand, we know many more DJs will be stepping their skills up to duke it out with the best of them.
