UDG was thrilled to support the Miller SoundClash DJ competition earlier this month as it set out to unearth the next generation of DJ talent. We kitted out the 10 finalists from around the world with exclusive UDG / Miller branded bags as they touched down at the Marquee Dayclub in Las Vegas to battle it out for first place in the Grand Finale.

As far as heavyweight DJ competitions go, Miller SoundClash is right up there. It received the backing of leading electronic dance music magazine DJ Mag and respected online music streaming platform Mixcloud as it brought together DJs from 10 different countries, united in their passion for high energy dance music. After an intense judging period by the Miller SoundClash judges - industry insiders from Miller, DJ Mag and Marquee Las Vegas; the 10 finalists were judged on their DJ mix submissions, number of plays, likes and positive comments on Mixcloud, and of course their all-important live sets at the Grand Finale.

They began their DJ reign by playing an exclusive set at DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs Party at Marquee Nightclub, alongside EDM superstar Dash Berlin.
