Red Bull Thre3Style, a new, countrywide competition series, is weeding out the wannabes and finding the top crowd-moving DJs in each city. The format features eight competitors who are given fifteen minutes to garner a response using music from at least three genres. On the Chicago leg of the Red Bull Thre3style tour held at The Mid, the competition largely took the challenge seriously and pushed themselves to dig deep in their Serato playlists to come up with party-worthy sets.

Weary ears desperate for a break from all the week’s rock ‘n’ roll madness were in for a serious treat as DJ-R, DJ M-Squared, Mick Boogie, DJ Qbert, DJ Jazzy Jeff, De La Soul and Z-Trip—with the help of a “supermoon” in the sky and a secret special guest in the wings—were set to move the crowd.

If Red Bull Thre3Style were a disease by now, you’d probably have it. And if you didn’t have it, well, you’d probably want to catch it for a while.

Before arriving at the corner of Congress and 4th in Austin’s Warehouse District, I could hear heavy bass that drew me right to Red Bull’s final event during Thre3stlye hosted by Skillz. Held in a gigantic parking lot, this party couldn’t have been much more public as it was free and open to everyone of age requiring no RSVP. As the windy night carried on, more and more curious pedestrians piled onto the concrete to hear some of the world’s most beloved selectors. Even Kanye West stopped by.
