DEF OPEN AUX

Wanna play a DEF party?

OPEN AUX is our community-driven talent discovery contest, designed to bridge the gap between the bedroom producer and our stages. We believe the future of dance music should be in the hands of the community. We provide a platform for up-and-coming, underground talent to explode.
