Would you like to be part of the lineup for the upcoming Mad Cool Festival? Get involved!
From Mahou and Mad Cool, we're launching the Mad Cool DJ Talent By Vibra Mahou for the second year running, the electronic sibling of our already classic band talent search. This is a version where we trade guitars for beats and BPMs, but we're still committed to discovering the best talent yet to be found in our country.
If your DJ sets mean more to you than your family, or your vinyl is worn out from all the scratching, we want you on board to showcase your talent on the stages of Mad Cool 24.
If you'd like to register, carefully read the participation rules and sign up as soon as possible; you have until Sunday, April 21st at 23:59h.
*Please refer to the terms and conditions and prizes in the legal basis at the bottom of this page.
Mechanics of the talent:
Register before Monday, April 21st at 23:59h by filling in all the fields requested in the form: name, surname, style, social networks, etc...
Upload one of your sessions in audio, video, or Mixcloud link format, with a maximum duration of 20 minutes. In the case of uploading a video, the recording quality will not be a determining factor for the selection of DJs who will advance to the next phase, so don't worry about this detail…
DJs who register must follow the official Instagram page of Mad Cool Talent (@madcooltalent), as well as the Instagram account of Vibra Mahou (@vibramahou).
A post/reel must be uploaded on Instagram feed to validate your registration using the hashtag #MahouCoolTalent and mentioning/tagging @madcooltalent and @vibramahou. It can also be done through TikTok with the hashtag #MahouCoolTalent mentioning/tagging @madcoolfestival and @vibramahou. This is a prerequisite to move on to the next phase, otherwise it will result in disqualification.
Between April 22nd and May 13th, 2024, a professional jury will select the 50 Djs that will move on to the next phase: ¨the popular vote¨.
