AFTER launching on a modest scale last year, the Carling Black Label DJ Clash has widened its reach and audience in this year’s edition.
The competition’s organisers have announced that after targeting aspiring University student wheel spinners in last year’s event, this year they are going mainstream.
“It was a huge success, with overwhelming support and excitement from both participants and our consumers. As a result, the decision was made to expand it to the mainstream market," read a statement by Delta Beverages.
"The Carling Black Label DJ Clashes will be held in 4 stages targeting both aspiring and professional DJs.” Registration opened on October 9, with regional competitions having started in Masvingo on the 27th October 27 and till December 15.
