The first DJ battle in the world... (Video)

Check out that guy's skank at 45 seconds. LOL.

DJ Unkut - 2011 Routine

This is completely bonkers.

I think it's safe to say Unkut will win the DMC Online Battle.

Retiring from DJ Battles...

Just a quick post to say that as of today, I'll no longer be participating in any more solo/head to head battles.

I believe my time as a battle DJ has come and gone, and as each year passes, it's becoming increasingly difficult to feel inspired to put new routines together. Apart from having to press shit up and spend countless hours programming routines to work exactly how I want them to (more or less doing to work for you, as some certain DJs have shown), there are hardly any good records/battle breaks out there to flip, and as a result, I've lost all enthusiasm for sitting down and coming up with new stuff.

There comes a time when you just need to walk away from things...

I'll still be doing the teams category though, and will also come to the DMCs as a spectator in the future, so I won't be disappearing just yet.

"ZIG" Season 3 - Teaser 1 (Video)

Tonytruand is back with another season of "ZIG", which focuses on the battle scene. This time around it's the 2008 DMC World Championships; the same year in which Fly won the showcase, and my boy Switch won the Battle For World Supremacy for the first time. Expect to see a lot of turntablist action, interviews, and random afterparty antics.

DMC World Championships 11th/12th September!

"For 25 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 25th Anniversary of this prestigious competition, DMC is bigger than ever…"

Some great PA's, showcases, and competitors in this year's World Finals. Hats off to Sally @ DMC for organising what always turns out to be a massive event. The lineup for this is huge!

I'll be representing the UK in the World Team Championships with Bionic Stylus this coming Friday. Our boy DJ Switch will also be defending his world title in the Battle For World Supremacy as well...

If you're about, come down and show your support!

Westwood Vs. Chris Moyles @ Radio 1's Big Weekend (Video)

So Timmy and Chris Moyles had the soundclash of all soundclashes last weekend @ Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Westwood can definitely duppy a disco, but looks like Moyles went in über hard (pause) for this, jumping around on stage like a loony, etc...

Result? Moyles 1 - Westwood 0

Wow, Battle Season sure comes round fast....DMC (Disco Mix Club) announced the dates for their UK Heats last week.

Luckily, I won't be stressing a week before the competition because one of my routines doesn't sound tight enough...I've taken a year out from battling this season, mainly to focus on doing more shows, practise, and to work on production....Anyhow, to all battle junkies, here are the heats:

Friday 25th April - Plymouth Heat @ Quay Club
Sunday 4th May - Manchester Heat @ The Urbis
Friday 23rd May - Bouremouth Heat @ The Consortium

Hosts this year will be Cutmaster Swift, MC Trip and 2007 DMC World Champion DJ Rafik.

The winner of the UK Final and the winner of the Battle for UK Supremacy will represent UK (surprisingly enough) at the World Championships at the Indigo02 in London on Friday 26th & Saturday 27th September...To anyone who wishes to enter, hit up Sally @ DMC for an entry form.

To anyone on the battle circuit this year, I'll be popping up at some heats to check out the competition, and to give some of my mates support....

Get practising, chaps!
