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

The first ever DJ to perform at THE PROMS!

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. 
The proms will be held at The Royal Albert Hall, the original home for the DMC World Championships! The last time DMC was at The Royal Albert Hall was when we had James Brown on stage!


Congratulations Switch, so pleased for you. I've known about this for a while, but was not allowed to mention this until the BBC made their announcement... and here it is...  'Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra - August 6th" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturenews/8451631/BBC-Proms-2011-the-highlights.html

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!

Check out the video from St Pancras
