It's day one of the competition and it's already surprise elimination day. The DJs arrive in Miami and are automatically told that they aren't all really finalists; they will have to compete today to receive a spot in the final 19. After they find out this shocking news, they are all taken to the bar back where they will wait until their name is called to go into the club and fight for a chance to stay in the competition.
In the second episode, the DJs all get assigned three songs that they have to incorporate into their three minute sets: a crowd favorite, a song that's rarely heard and a song that's difficult to work into a set. What happens when the judges deliberate and have to eliminate someone from the competition?
The hip hop challenge divides the group: some of the DJs are excited to show off their hip hop knowledge while others simply hope to get through the day and slide by into the round. Fortunately for all the DJs guest judge Cut Chemist is on hand to share his hip hop expertise.
The DJs hit the workshop to prepare a set that shares the story of their life. The DJs share their family roots, life struggles and more in a rousing and moving day of competition.
Surprise guest judge DJ Irie arrives to take the DJs on a tour and journey around some of Miami's most cultural parts of town. DJ Irie wants the DJs to use what they learn on the tour as inspiration for their sets. Do the contestants take DJ Irie's tour and advice to heart?
This challenge has the DJs pairing up and sharing their turntable (and the spotlight) with another contestant. Dream teams are formed, surprise partnerships take off and others fizzle.
The DJs are thrown for a loop when they're pitted against each other in a particularly challenging and inventive set request. The judges stir things up even more when they make a surprising announcement about an eliminated contestant.
There are only five DJs left in the competition and things are really heating up. After some bonding with the judges and relieving the stress the DJs get back to work on the most grueling challenge yet.
It's down to the final 4. And not only are the stakes high, but anxiety levels are high and rising as well. The DJs begin their day at world famous Circle House Recording Studios where they are told about the "Remix" challenge. In this challenge, they will have to remix one of Grammy Award winning artist Estelle's songs.
The final three DJs knuckle down and focus on their sets. All three DJs meet with directors of art, lighting and more as they prepare to put on a show for the crown of 'Master of the Mix.'
