The entries have been amazing this year, so we are looking forward to hearing them and finally seeing the winner play alongside Carl Cox on May 11th. Should be an unforgettable evening!’
The event follows the ground breaking launch of ‘House the House’ in 2013, when Fatboy Slim and competition winner Bryce Fury made history by becoming the first DJs to play in the House of Commons.
