Ampere Ampere Talent Search | Deejays and Producers

Ampere is calling out the local electronic music community in search of the next Belgium DJ or Producer talents. Are you one of the thousands of bedroom producers or deejays giving the best of themselves at home during this lockdown period. Then maybe now is the time to show the world what you are made of.

Aspiring producers and deejays will have until July 6 at midnight to create a unique original track or mix to enter this competition and talent search. We recommend everybody to dig deep and channel all your creativity as this might be the opportunity that opens the door you were looking for. We accept all genres within the wide electronic music spectrum. From ambient to future jazz, from drone techno to disco house, from minimal to jackin acid, industrial or even hip hop. As long as it is original, authentic, and real. For the deejays, we are looking for those boys and girls that love the true craft, respecting the roots, fundaments, and the ART of being a DJ. Those who live it and breathe it and are always ready to perform. Goes without saying we prefer deejays that mix vinyl or blend it with the use of CDJ’s. Please do not make a DJ mix in Ableton, or any easy DIY solutions unless you bring us the wow factor and new forms. The judges will notice. Please also NO commercial EDM or Trance. As we are looking for people of craft that can perform in any condition and not only with a pre-selected mix. The Ampere search for the real deejay has begun and maybe you will be soon playing in front of a full house in our venue, our festival, or on any online broadcast or radio, ready to share your skills with the world. We call all deejays and producers to start creating. So once again lock yourself up, make a comprehensive live mix or some mind-blowing original music and become an Ampere Talent.

We are searching for 2 talents: a deejay and a producer.
