Following on from his globally-successful ‘Got Talent’ and ‘The X Factor’ series, Simon Cowell is set to launch a new offshoot, with DJ’s at the heart.

Ultimate DJ will be a collaborative effort between Cowell’s Sony/Syco label, SFX Entertainment and T-Mobile, and will initially launch online. The press release which accompanied yesterday’s announcement told “launching initially online, the music event competition will feature producer-challenges where DJs will be invited to submit recordings for fan voting via social media. From there, the competition will move on to live challenges and performances in SFX event venues, integrating next-generation production design from SFX partner companies.”

A launch date for Ultimate DJ has yet to be confirmed, however we’re sure when it does start it’ll be a heavy social media topic! As always stay locked to Stagedoor FM for the latest Ultimate DJ news.
