All hands on deck for ‘Its a Ship’

Aspiring DJs! It’s time to put your mixing skills to the test because submissions for IT’S THE SHIP Singapore’s favourite ‘Deck Selecta’ competition is now open! Similar to last year’s competition, THREE winners stand a chance to perform sets onboard the highly anticipated festival at sea happening this 4th to 7th November.

This year, the festival is geared to witness a new set of fresh faces (and sounds) with aspiring DJs submitting their best mixtapes for a chance to perform alongside internationally renowned DJs such as Paul Van Dyk, Sander Van Doorn, Vini Vici, and many more. The top 5 shortlisted DJs will have their mixtapes added onto IT’S THE SHIP Singapore’s website for public voting. The three DJs that receive the highest number of votes will be able to perform onboard the 4-day 3-night floating festival in front of an expected 4,000 seafaring attendees.

First introduced last year, ‘Deck Selecta’ is a platform for undiscovered talents to showcase their skills and creative musical flair to a wider audience. Open to global participants, the top three winners will be provided with return flights and a cabin onboard the floating festival that is set to sail from Singapore to Phuket and back.
