Discover Indo House – the hot new genre on our radar

Over the last year we’ve been watching a new genre emerge called Indo House. It’s a genre defined by incorporating percussion, vocals, and textures from across South Asian culture within dance music.

To help you get familiar with the genre, we teamed up with Indo Warehouse, a New York-based collective and record label, to release a selection of their favorite Indo House tracks, exclusively on DJcity.

The curated playlist features the label’s original music, unreleased edits from their team, and other favorites they’ve been playing in their shows and DJ sets.

Download the tracks here and stay tuned for more Indo House releases on DJcity.

Calling All DJs: Enter the $1,000 Halloween Mashup Challenge! 🎃

Are you ready to mix things up this Halloween and show off your DJ skills?

Whether you’re a seasoned DJ or just starting out, the Halloween Mashup Challenge is the perfect chance to unleash your creativity and win a cool $1,000! All you need is a love for blending tracks and a little Halloween spirit.

How to Enter:

  • Pick Your Track: Start by selecting one song from our Halloween Mashup Playlist. Then, mash it up with another song of your choice (it doesn’t need to be Halloween-related!).

Go to Halloween Playlist

  • Record Your Magic: Perform your mashup on camera and share it as an Instagram Reel and/or TikTok, using the hashtag #HalloweenMashupChallenge. Pro Tip: For the best sound quality, record the audio directly from your mixer or controller and sync it to your video to ensure a clean, pristine sound!
  • Keep It Short: Your video should be no longer than 90 seconds.
  • Tag Us: Use the hashtag #HalloweenMashupChallenge and don’t forget to tag @beatsourceofficial and @DJcity in your post!
  • Submit Your Entry: Hit the link below to submit your entry.

What is a Mashup?

A mashup creatively combines the acapella of one track with the instrumental of another from a different genre. Think outside the box! Imagine a Hip-Hop acapella layered over a rock beat. The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination run wild!

What Makes a Winning Mashup?

It’s all about vibes and innovation! We’re not looking for a beat-juggling, scratch-heavy routine, but instead a simple blend that makes us think, “wow, I didn’t know those two tracks could go together!” You have until Sunday, October 27 to submit your mashup. After that, our panel of expert DJs will evaluate the entries and the top four will be featured on Beatsource and DJcity’s Instagram with a public poll on October 31. The entry that gets the most votes will take home the prize!

So, gather your gear, let your creativity flow, and have fun—who wouldn’t want to win $1,000 for doing what they love? Dive into the Halloween Mashup Challenge now! 🕷️✨
