The Monstercat Mix Contest is an annual contest which emerging DJs compete to showcase and improve their mixing skills. Its first edition was announced in 2015 and it has been hosted every year except 2017 and 2024. It used to be a radio show hosted by Call of the Wild Podcast Director Dan Scarcelli, but in 2023, it changed, with the contest winner getting to play Monstercat Compound. (explanation nessecary)
