The White House in Clapham is offering you that chance. Every Wednesday from November 10th (you've got exactly ten days!) three aspiring DJs will battle it out for a place in the quarter-finals, with the ultimate winner bagging a slot on Ministry Of Sound radio plus sets at the White House, The Cross, and Penge Party.
