The DMC UK Battle for UK Supremacy

Making its second appearance at the O2 Academy Islington, the DMC UK Final once again staged another dual busting event - The Battle for UK Supremacy and UK Final. We kick off with the Battle for Supremacy, 17 hopefuls which included our first and only female contestant in the competition. The most exciting round from the afternoon was the Cable vs Jeppa battle which without doubt, could have been a Semi or even Final round battle - it was just simply two great DJs going for it head to head, which Jeppa finally saw victory. Awesome. A magnificent eight are ready to battle in the evening’s Quarter finals and at this point, it’s still too early to predict a clear winner. The names are still randomly drawn in front of a clued up Academy audience that aren’t shy at all to show their appreciation to those that deserve it. The Semi Finals is a different story as the men are separated from the boys and the supreme four left, are simply matched from the order of their previous round victories.

Semi Finals Highlights

Rasp VS Asian Hawk. Rasp starts first and launches with Hip Hop classics, he cuts and scratches the title words of LL Cool J’s 'Mama Said Knock You Out' over the instrumental of Ice Cube’s 'Wicked' and although this is a quite simple piece it has the Academy crowd head nodding throughout and cheering out especially at the end as Rasp closes with another selection of verbal abuse. A calm and confident Asian Hawk replies with a simple but effective dis and also drops an 80’s classic 'Part Time Lover' from Soul legend Stevie Wonder as he performs a quite complex juggle with the opening rhythm bars, the groove is such a smooth one it clearly revels any disjointed extras applied which are just too obvious to be forgiven. The result? Rasp is the winner.

X-Rated VS Jeppa. X-Rated appears focused and opens up with a no nonsense dis followed by a funky unfamiliar groove, but it’s simple to understand his manipulations, again he drops another dis to finish which has been heard a few times throughout the night but still just as effective. A popular Jeppa goes straight into a juggle which is quite a rapid beat, dropping the expected chasing, back cuing and scratches, he surprisingly also drops a collection of body tricks which plays on the emotion of the crowd. Regardless of Jeppa’s popularity, a much more complete X-Rated is awarded victory.

The Final - X-Rated VS Rasp

X-Rated once again drops a funky groove laced with the vocals from the Godfather of Soul Mr James Brown. It’s a simple juggle and a tidy one. X-Rated performs perfectly but you can’t help feeling there should be something more. Rasp takes advantage of this as he performs a much more complex juggle which he shows total control, he finishes with a slaughter of scratches and back cues 'You lose' as he finishes. X-Rated opens up with a simple dis with the voice of Sylvester Stallone, again he drops another juggle which you can’t help but feel we’ve seen it all before. A confident Rasp clearly takes advantage in this last return as he drops a simple line from last year's host Trip 'Out of that and into this', he then scratches over Daft Punk’s 'Harder Better Faster Stronger' and then manipulates the electric guitar with another, this is a well planed routine as it builds constantly. I must add Rasp’s stage presence is magnifying and maybe he knew he was only a few seconds away from being crowned Champ, he certainly was in charge on stage at that moment and he ended as a Champ should - fresh, wild, fly and bold. The result? Rasp is unanimously voted, officially, The 2009 UK Battle Supremacy Champ.

The DMC UK DJ Final

After a quick stage re-fit, the Islington Academy audience are next treated to it’s first guest PA. Legends in their own right, Jehst featuring Micall Parknsun & DJ Jazz T who step onto the stage and start spitting freestyle lyrics to the opening groove of Michael Jackson’s classic hit 'Billie Jean' being back cued in an endless loop by the hands of Jazz T. Jehst of course drops his own material as well as Micall dropping his new single which I can only assume from it’s chorus is titled 'All For Hip Hop' - this is a real Hip Hop showcase that’s a pleasure to witness, with a short beat juggle solo from Jazz T, the crowd and everyone in the Academy thoroughly enjoyed the first performance of the night.

The UK Final had 8 finalists and since there was only five UK heats this year, DMC being as gracious as they are ever, gave the following three, Special Guest, Disect and X-Rated a life line golden ticket entry which was based solely on the amount of times they have been placed within the top three ranks throughout their heats. Then followed the heat winners, Rasp, Asian Hawk, Jeppa, Furious P and Johnny 1 Move.

While the results were being totalled it was time for another PA, this time by our super new verbal host Inja who was also later joined on stage by a special guest - the mighty Skinny Man to perform the new release 'Hat Low' which is a real hard hitting head nodding anthem and watching these two lyricist spit flowing vocals between a catchy chorus is easily a youtube moment.

The Results

3rd Place Went to Johnny 1 Move who in my opinion was the most unlucky person on stage that evening. His needle appeared to have a mind of its own which is any DJ’s worst nightmare. Johnny never fully recovered even after a re-start, his set was easily worthy of the UK title and although Johnny smiled throughout I wonder if he really was smiling or was he really biting his teeth?

2nd Place Out of the resulting three, Furious P was the only one to perform a perfect set, packed full of technical manipulations on beats, synths or tones and of course an effective palette of scratches. The only chink in his armour in my opinion, would be the music familiarity of his content which tends to be a constant growing doubt amongst today’s DJs who do produce and compile their own vinyl to compete, but I can assure you this won’t be the last of Furious P.

1st Place Goes to a very shocked Jeppa who finally finds his way to the stage after a few Tony Prince callouts. I must admit his set wasn’t as tight as his London performance but still showed his potential. Dubstep is today’s UK youth music. Jeppa selected plenty of it and manipulated it by chasing and juggle techniques. Jeppa has good stage presence and occasionally visual gestures, which as I mentioned before, are equally important as all the technical scratching stuff. Once again my congrats to Jeppa who without doubt will be focusing on improving his skills as the UK entry into the DMC World Finals in September.

Finally we can't end this review without mentioning another big highlight throughout this tour, the Shiftee (USA) vs Switch (UK) battle, this is a specially staged battle of two World Supremacy Champs without the round time restrictions and as I’ve mentioned before, this just keeps getting better! Up until now I can proudly say Switch had been kicking Shiftee’s ass but on this night, a very focused Shiftee planned a surprise attack that caught an off guard Switch - and excuse the pun, turned the tables. Victory was clearly Shiftee’s on the night and if that wasn’t enough, there was always the after party at the Elbow Rooms.

See you in September!

Cutmaster Swift has been busy putting the finishing touches to his review of the UK DJ Championship that took place on Thursday 17th July @ Islington Academy. Now that he's finished his masterpiece, it has been posted here on dmcdjchamps.com for you all to enjoy!

Click this link to read Cutmaster Swift's take on the DMC UK Final 2008 @ Islington Academy, Thursday 17th July...

Huge congratulations go out to DJ Skully who marked a triumphant return to competitive turntablism with a performance that displayed his effortless style and technical panache last Thursday at the DMC UK DJ Championships Final. Placing first in the competition, which took place at Islington Academy, means Skully is now set to represent UK turntablists and compete against the cream of the global DJ crop at the DMC World DJ Championships 2008.

"It's an unbelievable feeling to represent the United Kingdom in the DMC's again. I am really excited and cannot wait to compete against the best DJ's from across the world in September..."
DJ Skully - DMC UK Champion 2008

Skully first shot to prominence by being the first DJ to win the UK Battle For Supremacy, an offshoot of the main championships where DJs compete head to head rather than in sequence. After winning that, and the finals in 2002 he went on to win the Diesel U Music Award for Best Scratch DJ and then focussed on production and mixtapes. He's come 2nd at the World Finals twice, so this year Skully definitely has something to prove.

This year's DMC World DJ Championships are being held on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th September at IndigO2. Heats are taking place now, across the globe, and if the UK competition is anything to go by, once again standards have been ramped up a notch this year.

The 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 recognition that comes with being at the very top of their game is what all of these artists are fighting for but of course there's also the small matter of some seriously desirable prizes including the coveted Technics gold turntables (like the world cup for scratching - they're just harder to lift over your head!). There's also a $10,000 cheque from Ortofon and a whole host of other prizes including goodies from Calvin Klein's ck IN2U and clothes from Drunknmunky.



The Championships have been running for 23 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 Chad Jackson, Scratch Perverts 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.

The event is famously sponsored by Technics and Ortofon with the only turntables DJs are allowed to compete with being two Technics SL1200 (armed solely with Ortofon needles).



Contestants have just six minutes to do their impeccably choreographed thing, with DJs in recent years reaching way outside of conventional hip hop and featuring rock, house, drum and bass and folk in their routines.

Urban Nerd 'Save the Vinyl Special'

Well there you have it, the DMC UK regional championships is over for another year! DMC headed off to London on Saturday 21st June for the final heat of the tour! DMC were pleased to team up with Urban Nerd for our final event, and what an event it was! Great crowd, great show! What more could you ask for?

DMC would like to thank everyone at Urban Nerd for a fantastic event!

As well as the DMC London heat on the night Urban Nerds put on a fantastic line up which included: Legend – Goldie! The Newham Generals, Rattus Rattus and many more! Plus DMC World Champion DJ Rafik and DJ Blakey who was out celebrating his birthday!

Below is Cutmaster Swift's take on the evening:

"Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner that I love…blah, blah, blah, they say you save the best till last and the DMC London heat was certainly one the best I've witnessed in past years, big up's to the Urban Nerds squad who certainly know how to put on great nights!"

After running a very smooth sailing elimination the following 8 contestants provided the evening's entertainment in the following order: Spats, Hostile, Special Guest, Disect, Buckwilde, TGK, Johnny 1 Move & Furious P.

Without doubt this one of the closest heats which resulted with just a point difference between its top three competitors: 1st was a very consistent Furious P who placed 3rd previously in Birmingham, his London performance felt more mature and dynamic!

Second was awarded to a very talented Disect, after delivering some energetic scratch manipulations using various synth's and vocal samples!

Third place went to Johnny 1 move, again in my opinion showing plenty of future potential. Johnny delivered very fast clean scratches and his turntable drumming impressed me the most!

Furious P will now join Pandamonium, Loop Skywalker, Skully, Switch, Jeppa, and Asian Hawk and Rasp (who came second at two heats) at the UK Final on Thursday 17th July…

See you there !!!

The DMC team headed down to Bournemouth for their South West Coast heat on Friday 13th June and had a stormer of an evening. The event was hosted in the Crank Club and with 8 competitors qualifying; they competed in the following running order; Nicki T, Foly, Weetamix, TGK, Jeppa, Captain Wang, Buckwilde & Asian Hawk.

With a full six minutes play time for each DJ, the competition threw up a massively unexpected twist which resulted in a consistent Jeppa placing 1st. "Jeppa's arrangement was the most fluent on the night & his scratches sat tightly throughout his mix which ended with a bass & synth scratch being manipulated!"

After placing second in the Birmingham heat, Asian Hawk returned to Bournemouth to perform his killer set to the energetic crowd. Once again, he took second place behind Jeppa and TGK was awarded third place with just 1 point separating him from Captain Wang who claimed 3rd Place at the Manchester heat.

Clips of all the evenings competitors as well as previous heats are available for viewing through our brand new DMC TV portal, Enjoy!

After a very eventful and exciting week at DMC with the return of UK DMC Champion 2002 DJ Skully, DMC headed off to Birmingham on Friday 30th May for the second midland heat of the week!

DMC were pleased to have 5 past and present UK finalists in the regional heat! DJ Switch (UK Supremacy Champion and UK Finalist, Asian Hawk (Past UK Champion), Furious P, Weetamix and Johnny 1 Move. A mini UK Final in Birmingham!

The winner of the night went to DJ Switch who's set was a very energetic visual performance showing great creativity and potential, Switch already holds the UK Battle Supremacy title over the past two years, so Switch is certainly a DJ to watch out for.

Coming second was Asian Hawk which was another covert return from a former UK champion, Asian Hawk delivered a well thought out and informative set with lots of creativity and giving it the 'Asian Hawk' musicality feel!

Third place was taken by Furious P who performed a smooth flowing and entertaining set with his high energy style!

Big thanks to Heducation for a fantastic night!
