by Michael Ryan · Published August 23, 2023

Whet Travel has teamed up with LP Giobbi's FEMME HOUSE to present this year's annual "Undiscovered DJ Contest" at Groove Cruise Miami 2024.

"The annual Groove Cruise DJ contest started nearly 20 years ago and has been a huge launching pad for the careers of up-and-coming artists," Jason Beukema, Founder of Groove Cruise, explained in a press statement. "We couldn’t be more elated to join together with LP Giobbi and the FEMME HOUSE team this year."

To celebrate its 20th edition, Groove Cruise has tapped Diplo, Tiësto and John Summit as headliners. Other notable artists slated to perform from January 24-28, 2024 include HALIENE, Joel Corry, Markus Schulz, Mija and GG Magree of So Tuff So Cute, Trivecta and VNNSA, among others.

While anyone can enter the competition, FEMME HOUSE highlights allyship as a necessary foundation to foster more equitable opportunities for underrepresented individuals in the music industry.

“FEMME HOUSE impact happens at the magical intersection of community support, shared resources, and the abundant opportunity that results from combining the two," added Giobbi and Hermixalot. "We’re honored to have partners like Groove Cruise that share our commitment to education, visual representation, and ultimately, equity in music.”

To enter the "Undiscovered DJ Contest," aspiring DJs must submit a 30-minute video mix and a short biography through the official submission form. Contestants must be 21+ to enter and individuals from all countries are welcome. Submissions for the contest close on September 24th, 2023 at 12am ET (9pm PT).
