Finally the time has come for the 2007 DMC World Championships, and a new champion will be crowned. The big news this year is that no one is defending their title, so they are all up for grabs. The French rule of Netik and C2C is over and we shall see new turntablists reign supreme.
We will be seeing Australia’s Perplex have another go at the title against the likes of USA’s Precision, UK contender JFB as well as Japan’s DJ Miyajima and France’s DJ Fly. It should make for an interesting night, am definately looking forward to it (as I happen to be in London). For more news and info check out the DMC World DJ Championships website.
The official Press Release:
WORLD DMC DJ CHAMPIONSHIPS WEEKEND 2007
BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY & WORLD TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL - Saturday 6th
DMC WORLD DJ FINAL - Sunday 7th October
Indig02
(Greenwich, London)
Hosted by KILLA KELA, TRIP, BILLY BIZNIZZ and CUTMASTER SWIFT
Live acts all weekend – TBC!Beat junkies and turntablists beware! The 2007 WORLD DMC DJ Championships are upon us, with this year’s event looking set to be the biggest yet! The World Final weekend will be taking place at the brand new Indig02 in London on the 6th & 7th October
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the elite of the UK’s deejays who’ve progressed through all the recent heats and finals to take on the rest of the world’s turntablists. The winners will also receive a selection of exclusive prizes from Technics, Ortofon and ck one, with the overall champion having a chance to win the Golden Technics Turntable and Ortofon’s prize of $10,000.
With DJ technology ever evolving DMC keep it old school (for now anyway) with only one set of Technics SL1210 turntables, a mixer with no effects or modifications and only stylus in the Ortofon range allowed per competitor. A factor that will give each participant an equal platform and really crank up the pressure for each round!
The competition is broken down into key events over two days: first is The Battle For World Supremacy, a solo head-to-head knock out where competitors are to out skill their opponent using nothing but turntables and cleverly constructed routines. Representing the British contingent is the tough talking Switch who takes to the stage for the second consecutive year. Then come the World Team Championships, where a DJ collective of two or more combine their skills resulting in jaw dropping turntable orchestras.
Then, to climax there’s the big one - the Individual Event, where each contestant gets 6 minutes to put their skills to the test and prove that they’re the best in the World. This years UK Champion JFB goes up against 25 other global contenders in an attempt to bring the title of World DMC Champion home, a feat that hasn’t been achieved since the Scratch Perverts DJ Plus One won the title in 2001.
Tickets priced at £15, or £25 for a weekend ticket. Available from www.dmcworld.com www.theindigo2.co.uk and www.ticketmaster.co.uk (0844 844 0002)
