Don't Call It a Comeback – MIXCON 2025 Is Back in Full Force!

After a brief interruption, MIXCON is picking up speed again. The sixth edition of the MIXCON x BVD present DJ & Producer Conference is set for April 8 to April 11 at the Frankfurt exhibition grounds. With fresh partnerships with BVD e. V. and Prolight + Sound, the stage is set for an event that promises to be as dynamic as it is inspiring.

A Fresh Start in a New Venue

The organizers have been hard at work behind the scenes to ensure that every element of MIXCON 2025 resonates with creativity and innovation. As Bernd Closmann, one of the event’s initiators, explains:

“We are starting at a new location with a breath of fresh air and have put together a top program despite the short preparation time.”

This new venue at Frankfurt not only offers a modern setting but also positions attendees just steps away from all the latest DJ gear and producer tools showcased in the Prolight + Sound halls.

What to Expect: Talks, Panels, and Standparties

Over the course of four exciting days, visitors can dive into more than 15 talks and master classes. Topics will span from artist development and booking secrets to the future of nightlife and the exciting leap from local stages to international arenas. Panels featuring industry giants—including Stefan Dabruck & Frank Klein (Management for Robin Schulz & Alle Farben), Steffen Harning (Management for Jaxomy), Stewart Knight (Founder of Toolroom Records), Dick the Groot (Founder of Be Yourself Music), Reza Fatih (Founder of Verknappt Festival), Kathrin Fuhrmann (Electrisize Festival & DJ Mag Germany) and others—are set to deliver insider insights that could transform careers.

The heart of MIXCON 2025 lies in these panels, where experts and enthusiasts alike gather to share knowledge and expand their networks. And as organizer Jens Witzig puts it, there’s nowhere else where making contacts is as effortless—whether you’re a newbee or an old hand.

A Nod to the Neighbors: Focusing on Electronic and Dance Music

While previous editions in Munich included a “hands-on” tech segment, this year’s format in Frankfurt shifts the focus even more to the world of electronic and dance music. Co-founder Stoyan Velkov, who brings his unique perspective as a hip-hop DJ, sums it up with a smile:

“We don't want any beef with Beatcon, which takes place next door.”

This playful remark underlines the event’s commitment to its musical roots, ensuring that the vibe remains all about the beats and the energy.

Beyond the Panels: Live Auditions and the Evening Standparty

Towards the end of the week, up-and-coming producers will have the chance to showcase their creations in live auditions, receiving “one-to-one feedback” from label bosses and hit producers—a platform where several record deals have already been forged in past editions.

As the day turns to night, the conference transforms into an exhilarating Standparty. The turntables will keep spinning, creating a seamless blend of learning and live performance that encapsulates the spirit of MIXCON 2025.

Adding even more sparkle to the event, internationally successful artists such as Cuebrick, Lovra, Luca Dante, Lunax, and Mark Dekoda will take to the stage as keynote speakers. Their participation, along with the wealth of industry expertise on offer, ensures that MIXCON 2025 is not just a conference but a hub for groundbreaking ideas and future trends in DJing and music production.
