This week's challenge is a segments challenge: we'll give each pair of mixers a single song with the task of making the best mix segment. This is a great chance to show you know your jugni from your jhoomer, and to produce a mix you just want to dance to.
Challenges will be accepted until 11:59PM PST on Sunday, August 11. After that, you'll have a week to prep your mix. As always, you're encouraged to get your challenges in early: early entries get their songs in advance.
We've got a new prize this round for challenge winners, too. Trisha Arora of Radio Asia will be playing the three best mixes from each round of the competition on her radio show Bhangra Beats (on every Saturday from 4-6PM EST on Radio Asia 103.3hd2 and 103.9 in New Jersey/New York, as well as streaming live on radioasiafm.com and on iHeartRadio's app). We'll put up a separate thread today to let people vote on last round's best mixes.
