For 26 incredible boundary pushing, trend setting, scratched, cut and mixed years,
the world’s largest DJ organization, DMC, has been the authority on the DJ battle.
The DMC’s annual World DJ Championship competition brings together the world’s
brightest DJ talents, vetted by a series of gruelling global heats. By doing so, DMC
continues to host one of the most entertaining and jaw dropping shows you will
ever witness. This year’s show is no different. In the 26th year of this prestigious
competition, DMC is bigger than ever…
Kicking off 2010’s UK events, the UK DJ Final and Battle For UK Supremacy takes
place at the 02 Academy Islington on Thursday 15th July with the winners going head
to head with the best in the world at the World DJ Championships on October 17th
and 18th at KOKO.
To become a DMC World Champion, DJs around the world use techniques such as
scratching and cutting to manipulate turntables and vinyl in order to create their own
musical arrangements, performing live in front of an enthusiastic audience filled with
both the extremely knowledgeable DMC fans and lucky newcomers being initiated to
this fantastic contest.
Competing for the coveted place in the World Finals this year are the following
talented folk: Mike L, Johnny 1 Move, Rasp, Loop Skywalker, Mr Eclipse, DJ
Downlow, Killer Tomato and defending his title – Jeppa.
With World Championship winners over the years including the superstar likes of
the Scratch Perverts, A-Trak (Kanye West’s DJ), Q Bert, Craze and Mixmaster Mike
