Registrations are now open for the 2026 Australian DMC DJ Championships, and this one is for every DJ who lives to move a crowd.

There are two ways in. DMC Classic is the home of the turntablists, where it’s all scratching, juggling and pure technical fire. DMC Open is for everyone else who can rock a party. Club DJs, mobile DJs, bedroom DJs ready to step up. If you can read a room and light up a dancefloor, this one’s for you.

That’s what makes Open special. It isn’t about how many tricks you can pull. It’s about mixing, blending and energy. Bring whatever you run, whether that’s CDJs, controllers, turntables or a hybrid setup. If your sets get people moving, you’ve got a place on that stage.

And the ceiling? There isn’t one. In 2025, Sydney’s DJ Beast Mode took out the Open Category at the DMC World DJ Championships in Tokyo and claimed Australia’s first ever DMC World Title. The category that’s open to you is the same one that just crowned a world champion.

So whether you’re chasing the trophy or you just want to test yourself against the best in the country, this is your shot. No gatekeeping, no excuses. Just you, your sound, and a crowd to win over.
