It's ON!


Let the Battle begin! This time, it's going to be a real showcase with Star-studded DJs! Amazing how Turntablism evolved, from mash ups, beat-juggling to custom vinyls! Indeed, DJs / Turntablists aren't just music players but artists! Wish I could be there to witness the 25th Anniversary! (VINYL RULES)

The Event

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…

On September the 11th and 12th, the Indig02 will see the DJ event of the year shake the very foundations of the entire infamous Dome. For the 25th Anniversary the stakes are higher than ever for the winners of this momentous year. And DMC are pulling all the stops to make sure this is not just a competition, but in the true essence of the DJ, a party to remember. With competitors from over 30 countries spanning the globe, the truly international DMC is bigger than ever.

To kick start the weekend correctly, Friday, September 11th's proceedings see the exhilarating Battle For Supremacy take place, with last year's World Champion DJ Switch defending his title against the planet's very best Supremacy title holders, including this year's UK winner - DJ Rasp. The Team Battles also take place on the day, determining who will follow in the footsteps of the competition's greats of previous years - from France's C2C, Scratch Perverts and the Allies.

In between the intense battles, the charismatic DJ Yoda will present a special live AV performance detailing the 25 Years of DMC, in his own ingenious way. This is bound to be a one-off, extremely exciting performance that is not to be missed! DJ I-Dee will also be showcasing the brand new Numark NS7 on the night, using state of the art Serato Itch software - a World's first! Jehst and Micall Parknsun follow up their storming UK Final set, returning with an energetic, unbeatable performance that you cannot miss.

On Saturday September 12th, DJ Jeppa will be flying the British flag in the DJ Championship World Final, as the worlds best DJs compete for the ultimate accolade! Pioneering legend and former DMC World Champion, DJ Q Bert will be flying over to perform on the night, and Rob Swift (Ill Insanity / X-Ecutioners) will be showcasing Scratch Live, as presented by sponsors Rane and Serato. Current World Champ DJ Fly will also be showcasing his talents.

And of course the winners will not leave empty handed - Champions over the two days have treats a-plenty in store. The bounty that awaits them will include prizes from Panasonic and Technics, Numark NS7, Drunknmunky clothing, Rane TTM57Sl mixer, Rane SL3's, CKIN2U goodies, Gold Disc awards, Ortofon needles and DMC are bringing back the much sought after classic Champion jackets for the 25th Anniversary.

At the end of the night, to round off the 25th Anniversary celebrations in style, DMC have invited a myriad of the best of the best to perform together in one massive SUPER JAM! Q Bert, Rob Swift, DJ Fly, Shiftee and Switch. Hosted by the world famous Killa Kela, it is going to be legendary as the experienced winners go back to back with the new world champs.
