HMC Def Jam IG Live Battle Wrap-Up


DJ Battle Graphic via Def Jam / HMC

In an effort to provide special opportunities to the worldwide DJ community during this time, we've partnered with Def Jam Recordings for our first ever online-virtual DJ battle through Instagram Live.

HMC's own DJ Ease hosted & co-judged the battle alongside special guest judges J Espinosa & DJ Ever. Having made it to the 2nd stage, a total of 8 finalists flexed their talents to a crowd of over 650+ IG Live viewers competing in over $2,000 in cash prizes, kicks, and free HMC memberships. Of those viewers, we had guest drop-ins from icon D-Nice, singer/songwriter Joe Jonas, the respected Moe Shalizi, Quarantunes own DJ Vice & many others.

1st Place - DJ Dynamix

2nd Place - DJ Spare Change

3rd Place - Presto One

All competing routines now available to watch on IGTV or YouTube.

Thank you to Def Jam, Zen, the participants, and all of the HMC viewers at home who tuned in. Be sure to follow us on all of our social platforms to keep tuned in for our next battle announcement.
