International heats are taking place now, across the globe, and if the UK competition was anything to go by, once again standards have been ramped up a notch this year. This year's UK heats are done and dusted; the finalists travelled to Islington Academy on 17th July for the DMC UK DJ Championships and after a hard fought competition, DJ Skully was crowned the winner. Placing first in the competition means Skully is now set to represent UK turntablism in the solo DJ category and will compete against the cream of the global DJ crop at this year's competition. Representing the UK in the Battle for Supremacy - a head to head scratch battle of wits, techniques and braggadocious ability - is DJ Switch. This young turntable wizard has stood up to the competition and emerged victorious for 3 years in a row now, retaining his dextrous deck dominance since 2006. Needless to say we're expecting big things from him this September! The World finals mark the culmination of months of fierce competition in countries across the world including Japan, USA, Australia, Canada, across the whole of Europe and all the way out to China, Brazil and even Bulgaria - the winner here in September is the best of the best, period. The Championships have been running for 24 years now and have helped launch the careers of a galaxy of stars from the DJ world ranging from early winners like the UK's Scratch Perverts, Plus One and Cutmaster Swift to legends like Q-Bert, C2C (4 x DMC World Team Champions), DJ Ca$h Money and Beastie Boys DJ Mixmaster Mike through to new names like DJ Craze, DJ Netik and last year's German winner Rafik who played showcase sets at all the UK Heats. This year's event is hosted by DMC favourites' MC Trip, Killa Kela, and Billy Biznizz. MC Trip was awarded the Time Out accolade of 'Best Live Show of 2004'. He is explosive on stage and is Killa Kela's official MC/right hand man. To date he's shared the stage with Busta Rhymes, Outkast and N.E.R.D.

An all European affair that saw the UK's Roger Johnson take the title at what was at the time London's largest nightclub. Back then, the DJs focussed on their mixing ability with the rare venture into the hip hop style of scratch mixing, what today we call the world of Turntablism. Roger was awarded the DMC Champion bomber jacket, the DMC Gold 7" Trophy and a VIP trip to New York. Since this was the Championships in it's infancy, there isn't any video or audio recordings of Roger's set, but there is a radio studio performance available which should give you an idea of the music, scratch and mixing level back in the day. webmaster@dmcworld.com 13/03/2008 Champs Audio - Whilst most of his international opponents once again concentrated on their mixing abilities, it was left to New Jersey's DJ Cheese to exhibit the full extent of hip hop DJing which was then known as scratch mixing. There were a bold few who tried this new style of DJing but it was only DJ Cheese who could bring the full, raw street style of intense, rhythmical scratches and dynamic cutbacks that is the blueprint of today. Like many hip hop bedroom DJs, we all rooted for Cheese as he was undoubtedly our ambassador and his victory gave all the unrecognised and unacknowledged DJs out there the first opportunity to step and up be counted. webmaster@dmcworld.com 11/03/2008 Champs Audio - 2-Day Ticket To The DMC World DJ Championships @ Indig02 26th / 27th September webmaster@dmcworld.com 28/05/2008 Champs Audio - 2007 Finals Of The DMC World DJ Championships On DVD. webmaster@dmcworld.com 19/05/2008
