DJ Plus One - World DMC 2001

DJ Plus One 2001 DMC world champion

In my last post Kentaro tore up part of his routine from the 2001 World DMC Championships. That year he place second to Plus One who pulled off his infamous ‘Still Number One’ routine. I thought it appropriate to let you see the routine that won it that year. Here is DJ Plus One’s winning routine on YouTube. He performs excellently under pressure, coming out with pure confidence and style - “I will not lose” - a big statement that proved to be true. Pulling off some nicely crafted faderless drums, he later creates creates some really unique sounds by almost tearing the needle from the cartridge and finishes up with those still number one cuts and juggles that I will never forget.

For all those who are curious, he is sampling is I’m Still #1 by Boogie Down Productions. BDP are still number one in my book too.

You really gotta check it out. DJ Plus One’s 2001 World DMC Routine. Once you’ve finished watching that, come back and check out the post on Kentaro’s second place routine.

DJ Plus One - still number 1 routine

DJ Plus One tears this shit to shreds. A very solid routine with razor sharp cuts and some seriously smooth beat juggling - I love the juggle-cuts style too. Very post worthy.

UPDATE: I have updated the video on this post as the previous one was removed from YouTube by the user.

Above is the still number one routine for those who just want the cuts, below is the full version with a break down of the routine.

The one below is actually better in a way as he explains how he developed the routine and the ideas behind it. This one is a bit more of a tutorial but he performs the routine at the end. A lot can be learned from a World DMC Champion…
