Twelve beatsmiths will be called to battle at each regional qualifier. Other regional battles have happened in Philadelphia, Houston, Oakland and Detroit. Additional battles will be hosted in Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

WHY: In 2004, Big Tune began as the brainchild of DJ/producer/emcee—Vitamin D and Hip Hop visionary/event producer –Jonathan Moore, with the purpose of bringing emerging and established talent to the forefront. After three years of hosting thriving local battles in Seattle, they forged a creative partnership with Red Bull and the event evolved beyond a beat battle into a dynamic national producer program.
EDUCATION: The Red Bull Big Tune team will be conducting a musical education outreach program to educate future beat makers on the business and creation of music. Location and more information will be announced soon.
