Then come the Battle of the Genres sets: bass house against tech house, rock flips against rap flips, old school dubs against new school wubs, and drum & bass against techno. Costumes are encouraged, with a contest, plus vendors and food on site. The venue is a South Austin event center on Regal Row that books local and touring acts.

This is the start of a new series, and the invitational is a real way for up-and-coming DJs to get booked. The format keeps the music moving between genres, so one night covers a lot of ground. It is also an early Halloween party in South Austin, with a local lineup and a headliner.
