Eight hand-selected DJs in Chicago, three music genres, and one unforgettable party sums up the Red Bull Thre3Style that will take place Thursday, April 28, 2011 at The Mid, 306 N. Halsted Street, Chicago, IL.

Red Bull Thre3Style is an innovative concept that gives highly skilled DJs a platform to battle, perform, gain notoriety and express themselves in a party atmosphere. Eight DJs fight for the crowd’s favor, each with a 15-minute set that MUST contain at least three different musical genres.

The participating DJs (Charlie Glitch, Zebo, Big Once, DJ Trentino, Matt Roan, Marco Morales, DJ Jem and Jay Illa) will be judged on their track-selection, technical skills, creativity and most importantly their ability to bring the house down. All participants are judged by a panel of industry professionals, DJs, and party starters. More than 20 US Qualifiers will take place this year.

The winner of the Chicago qualifier will be flown to Las Vegas in November for the Red Bull Thre3style National Championship. The national champ will then travel to Vancouver, Canada to represent the US in the global finals against the world’s best party-rock DJs: in hopes of being crowned the International Red Bull Thre3style champ.

Doors open for the event at 9:00 p.m. and the competition begins at 10:00 p.m. Cost is $5 in advance  (win.gs/3styleTIX) and $10 at the door. For more information, visit www.redbullusa.com/thre3style-chicago.
