Bournemouth - Results and Review!

DMC hit the sunny south coast of Bournemouth on Saturday 11th June. Saturday 11th June was a busy DMC event day worldwide, with the Danish taking place in Copenhagen and in NYC was the East Coast Regional and the Battle For Supremacy. For those results please visit www.dmcdjchamps.com

In Bournemouth we had our event with the partizan project at the Winchester. It was a great event, thanks to everyone at Partizan, fantastic promoters and very lovely people, it makes such a difference to work with professional and good people!!  1st place went to Envious Mind, Runner up – Special guest and in 3rd place DJ Endo. Thank you Bournemouth! Loved The Winchester. 



Great to see X-rated, Brent from Aquasky and Matt Small!

We have only 1 UK Regional left in Plymouth on Saturday 2nd July. If you want to enter please email sally@dmcworld.com 

London Heat - Results and Review!

So DMC hit the capitol of the UK on Friday. London. 10th June. Jazz Café. 

Very entertaining night. Inja our host was on top form, the crowd on form and the DJs also!
3rd place went to DJ Myme, and we had a joint 1st place. Unfortunately our third judge didn’t show at the event, so we had two World Champions judging – Cutmaster Swift and Ligone. Both World Champs went for a different DJ, so we decided to put both DJs through to the UK Final in joint 1st position. Congratulations to DJ Koncept and DJ Downlow! 



Funniest moment of the night. DJ M'otek used nunchucks in his set and as he is swinging them violently around on stage, we could see it coming but were not quick enough... They hit Cutmaster Swifts laptop, the screen went blank. Luckily the laptop is fine, but it does have a dent/war wound. 


Great to see so many of you! Shouts to Snips, Corin, Sian, Mona, Graziella, Emily, Chris P Cuts, Geri, Charley, Imogen, Tom, Debi, Martin Flex, all the Focusrite crew, my lovely friend Rupert (Bass 6), Bellatrix (The Boxettes), UK Champion DJ Jeppa and all the DJs that competed oh and the group of french beat boxers! 

London heat video highlights coming soon!

DMC in Blackpool!

DMC hit the seaside town of Blackpool on Friday....The sun was shining and it was boiiiiiiiiiling! Had a little stroll on the beach. 

The UK Final is certainly hotting up. Northern lad DJ Rasp unanimously won, congratulations to him! See you at the Final! Runner up went to DJ Special Guest and 3rd – Dr Weevil! 



Blackpool made me laugh for lots of reasons. The first person we stopped to ask for directions was a lad about 17, he had blood all over his face, straight out of a fight. It was 3pm in the afternoon! 


Met some lovely guys in Blackpool who came down to support the event and the scene. big up to you! 

DMC have two UK Regionals this week... London on Friday @ Jazz cafe and Bournemouth on Saturday @ The Winchester!! For full information visit www.dmcdjchamps.com

Busy week for the DMC Team!! Blackpool, London and Bournemouth!

Busy week for DMC!

The DMC Team hit the road again tomorrow and we are off to the North West... Blackpool! I’m very excited about Blackpool... I think the last time I was there was when I was 1 or 2 years old, not that I remember! The sun will be out, will I get chance to sit on the beach for an hour? Most probably not, but I can certainly try!
We have the legend that is DJ Woody joining the DMC team tomorrow night on the judging panel, alongside DJ Ligone and Cutmaster Swift.
Get yourself down to the Syndicate on Church Street tomorrow night. Doors 10-4am. The DMC slot is 11pm – 1am, so get there early! Looking good for tomorrow, looking forward to seeing the DJs compete, obviously I can’t say who is competing, you will just have to come down! 


Next Friday (10th June) the almighty capital– LONDON @ Jazz Café. Always a very busy heat, with lots of familiar faces showing love from past DMC Champs, friends, familiar faces and judges!
Make sure you get your tickets for the Jazz Café, as it does always get busy! www.jazzcafe.co.uk 

After the London heat we are off to Bournemouth on Saturday 11th June. Will I get any time in the sun? Doubt it. We will be at ‘The Winchester’ and will be having an extended after party on the south coast, so make sure you get your tickets as its limited entry – www.partizanproject.com

Rane and Serato present 'The DMC UK Championships 2011' - LETS GO!

That time of year is back again already. How quick a year goes by. The night before the DMC UK Championships start. The calm before the storm!

Its now 2011. I’ve grown up with DMC my entire life, those of you who know my background know that my uncle is Tony Prince (Founder of DMC) and I work alongside my mother (Managing Director), Christine Prince (My aunt and president of DMC), my sister and my three cousins. DMC is my blood!

This July I will have been working full time at DMC for 13 years (that doesn’t include my teenage and childhood days at DMC).... And here I am again, ready to go on the road to find the UK’s best DJs in the search for the DMC UK Champion.

 2011 is a special year for us. We launched the DMC Online DJ Championship back in Feb/March and we proud to have Rane and Serato as our official sponsors for the traditional live events. DJs this year, for the first time in the live DMC DJ Championship are allowed to use DVS like Serato. Its a big year for DMC and I’m really excited and ready to go!

Saturday 21st May and we are off to Leicester for the first regional heat. We have performances / showcases at all the UK Heats from the reigning DMC World Champion – DJ LIGONE from France, and our DMC host – Inja will be performing cuts from his latest album ‘Inja:Maker’. I’ve had a sneak preview of this album, and boyyyyy its a good one! DMC World Champion Cutmaster Swift will also be on tour doing a set and providing music for us throughout the events.

If you are in the midlands tomorrow night, make sure you get yourself down to Superfly in Leicester to get the DMC Heats started with a bang. This is Superfly’s closing down party, so its going to go on all night, and you might see a little showcase from a 3 x DMC World Supremacy Champion too! 



The winner of each of the 5 Heats WINS a Serato SL3 / Sennheiser Headphones and a pair of Novation Dicers! Amazing prizes - thank you Rane / Serato / Sennheiser and Focusrite!

Can we go on tour yet!!??? DMC Battle Season 2011!!

So its nearly that time of year again for me and the DMC touring team. 5 UK Regional heats this year and we start next weekend. The first heat is in the Midlands,  Leicester on Saturday 21st May.  I’m so happy to have Inja on tour with us again this year, he really has a fantastic stage presence and brings a  lot to our DMC stage. Inja will be performing tracks at every heat from his NEW album ‘Inja:Maker’, maybe I will put up a sneak preview on DMC TV of Inja’ new music. LOVING his remix of club banger ‘Hat Low’ featuring Skinnyman and Fallacy. The remix is Captain Crunch edit featuring Messiah. Check the video out below! 




As you know we showcase the best DJs in the world on our UK tour. We have so much fun on our UK tours, we do every year, I LOVE it!   Our stage has been blessed in recent years by greats such as C2C, DJ Netik, DJ Rafik, DJ Shiftee vs. DJ Switch, DJ Woody and many more. This year I am pleased to announce we have the reigning DMC World Champion from France – DJ LIGONE! Its going to be a great show this year!

So that is the showcasing side of the tour. The actual competition has changed this year for the first time in the 27 year history. DMC now allow Serato and DVS into the traditional 6 minutes competition. DMC are very happy we have Rane and Serato as the official sponsors of the DMC UK and World Championships.

The DJs from each of the 5 UK Heats win a Serato SL3 (Retails at £499) and Sennheiser headphones. Where are the UK DJS? I know they are entering the DMC Online Championship, but the American DJs are entering both! The live and the Online. The UK DJs should too! TWO chances to the titles! TWO chances to get to the World Final, and TWO chances to win prizes! COME ON UK DJS... Step up!

Sooooo pleased to announce our very own 3 x DMC WORLD CHAMPION - DJ SWITCH from the UK, will be the first EVER DJ to perform at the Proms. The Proms is an annual TV season of the world greatest orchestras / composers and orchestral conductors. This is HUGE.

DMC Live @ St Pancras International, London!

On Friday 25th March DMC were invited to support the great 'Yes To Life' charity.  They told us we could take over the concourse of St.Pancras International -  London’s newest and most beautiful railway station, we knew there was only one DJ who could stop travellers in their tracks!

DJ WOODY with his amazing 'TURNTABLES IN TECHNICOLOR' had blown everyone away at the 2010 DMC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS so we knew a few people were about to miss their trains!

It was a most unique experience for us all, to see Woody performing to an audience who’s only reason to be there was to get away from there but hundreds of travellers stood with their suitcases and enjoyed watching this DJ OF A NEW BREED....the type of DJ who wants to take us to places we haven’t been before!

Thanks to everyone who came down to show support to DMC, DJ Woody and Yes To Life!
