Red Bull Thre3style pits the world's best DJs in a competition that values technical skill as much as the ability to thrill a dance floor.

This year, 24 countries will send a representative to battle on the global stage. From Azerbaijan to the USA, South Africa to Chile, Korea to Switzerland -- whether their battling at a local or national level, all roads lead to Toronto and the chance to be crowned Red Bull Thre3style World Champion 2013.
