DMC

Next up was DMC whose DJ championships have developed hand in hand with global turntablism.

Never prescriptive in their judging criteria the annual event has always allowed the B-Boy attitude to shine through. By leaving the door open to new styles DMC has been the place to witness the cutting edge of technical skill, technological advancement and outright showmanship in the DJ world. In doing so the event has encouraged innovation and originality throughout their 25 year history.

A truly inspiring company with bold plans to keep up the pace of innovation in a changing world, their entire video back catalogue is soon to become digitally available online – and entirely for free.

Head over to DMC World for more info on the background of the company or check out DMC DJ Champs to keep up with the competition and the digital archive launch date.

Long day today runinng around London…

A North London meet up with Teddy Nygh director of award winning ‘Rapumentary’ Clash a da tight 1s started the day.

Covering London (and Aussie) contemporary MC culture the film turns its gritty eye on UK street culture as it exists today.

Begun as a Homegrown project in 2005 the film has been a labour of love that has only come to frution as a result of a small crew’s dedication to a project that speaks volumes about the unsung talent in the UK.

With an official DVD launch set for next month Clash a da tight 1s raises questions about where the Hip Hop legacy is heading in the 21st century, whether you consider yourself part of Grime, Jungle, Garage or Hip Hop in the UK.
