Red Bull 45s pays tribute to yesteryear by tasking DJs to compete against each other using only 7-inch 45 rpm records popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The competition format places four DJs in four opposite corners of the space, with the crowd in the middle. Each DJ spins two 45 rpm records, with each subsequent DJ attempting to audibly beat match off the previous DJ - without the help of today’s computerized beat-matching computers and equipment. The goal of the event is to revive the sound and spirit of once revered 45 rpm record while tasking DJs to use all their imagination and expertise to create a seamless and continuous flow of music. Plus, today’s untouchable and disconnected club DJ hidden behind a serato screen didn’t exist when 45s were in – DJs are on the floor with the crowd, so all get down as one. And we’ll plan to!
