This year’s DMC World DJ Championship Final – the Olympics of the DJing world – takes place on Sunday, 5th October at The Forum in London.
The greatest DJs from across the globe from Indonesia to India, Brazil to Bosnia, the Philippines to Portugal – will be furiously mixing, cutting and scratching in a bid to win the ultimate prizes. The titles of Battle For World Supremacy Champion, World Team Championship and World DJ Champion are up for grabs, as well as a coveted custom made, one-off gold Rane mixer.
The event will feature a very special performance from Japan’s DJ Kentaro – who as 2002’s World Champion is himself no stranger to DMC glory – in what promises to be a dizzying display of stunning turntable techniques.
Also, following their successful introduction last year, the event’s popular, family-friendly daytime workshops return. Fans will get the chance to learn popping and locking street dance moves from Rock Steady Crew’s PopMaster Fabel, the art of beatboxing with the UK’s Beatbox Collective, and the fundamentals of DJing with DMC World Supremacy Champion DJ Tigerstyle + DJ Woody and more!

M.O.P.’s Billy Danze addresses violence in battle rap and the hip hop culture as a whole during an exclusive interview with VladTV, and says that he’s tired of seeing it play out, despite feeling like his group M.O.P. didn’t help the situation. He adds that the artists of today will be regretful of their decisions if they get involved with violence, and he feels it brings the entire culture down.
The New York rapper then speaks on two of the most significant acts of violence to have occurred in the culture, referring to the deaths of 2Pac and Biggie. Billy says that there have been other violent deaths in the game, but Biggie and Pac’s were different, because of their caliber and the fact that the murders allegedly stemmed from beef between them.
The M.O.P. emcee wraps things up by detailing how he believes folks in a rapper’s entourage can be the bigger liability, as they often feel like they have something to prove, so they go out and do something stupid like shoot someone.
