This thread covers everything you need to know to get yourself battling other DJForums members.

First things first, you need to make a call out thread here in the battle forum. Simply title the thread as follows:

CALLING OUT: Funky House Battle

In the contents of your post, list any and all rules you would like to impose for the battle, along with a submission deadline.

Example:
Calling out anyone interested for a 1 on 1 funky house battle.
Mix must be between 25-30 minutes long
CD Players or Turntables only, no DVS, no MIDI controllers
Mix must be submitted by February 26th, 2012, voting lasts for 2 weeks

You can get as creative as you would like with the rules for your battle, i.e. loser has to put winners name in their signature for 2 months.

Once you find someone to agree to your terms, record your mix and upload to a host of your choice (i.e. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)

Label your mp3 file with your DJForums username THEN your opponents name.

Example: KevinJames-vs-Stripe.mp3.

If you are submitting an entry for a battle with more than 2 DJs, please upload your file with your username followed by the battle genre.

Example: KevinJames-BreaksBattle.

Please encode your file in mp3 format with at least at 192kbps, and be sure to remove any ID3 tags attached to the file.

Once both files have been received the battle moderators will post your battle in the battle forum for other DJForums members to vote on.

NOTE: Please try and keep your mixes between 0-40 minutes long. Anything much longer than that may deter people from judging your battle.

Happy Battles everyone!
