The DMC World DJ Championship took place at London’s Indig02 this week. The judges of the competition crowned USA DJ Vajra, from Denver, Colorado US as the winner.

Vajra became the proud owner of a gold-plated mixer when he won the world championship in London…

In second place was Izoh from Japan. Also from Japan in third place was Co-Ma. Fourth was JFB from England, fifth place was Brazilian battle DJ Erick Jay, and in sixth place was Denmark’s DJ Graded.

Meanwhile in the competition’s 2011 DMC Battle for World Supremacy (head to head) category first place was Deejay Nelson from France with runner up being Japan’s Norihito.

And in the third category of this big annual turntable battle, the 2011 DMC World Team DJ Battle, the results were: First: Kireek from Japan, Second: Cla Leste from Brazil, and third place USA’s BattleStar (DeeJay Turbulence & Roger Pho aka Phonics!).

DJ Unkut, the first EVER DMC Online Champion could not be competing in the DMC World Final due to health problems. Thats really sad, I would have loved to see DJ Varja and Unkut fight for the crown of turntablism. Get well fast Mr. Unkut!!!

Big ups to DJ Vajra for winning this years DMC World Championship!

When it comes to matching the latest technology with world-class turntablism skills to produce next-level routines, Miami’s DJ Craze is the ultimate choice.

In this video, the 5x DMC World Champion showcases the power of the new Traktor Scratch generation by creating a live dubstep remix, controlled by his golden Technics turntables and two controllers.

Kontrol X1 is used to play a live beat using one-shot drum samples in Traktor’s new Sample Decks, while Craze also triggers various other samples and cue points with his custom white Maschine controller. A beat juggling section in the middle leads to the finale where Craze combines fast cue-point juggles and vocal samples with the integrated Traktor effects.

This time its legendary 5x DMC World Champion DJ Craze who’s taking things to the next level in this new turntablism / controllerism routine.

Craze is using the X1 to trigger cue points on both decks while performing some serious beatjuggling.

Combining traditional vinyl techniques like juggling, scratching and body tricks with advanced controller-based functions such as cue point manipulation, tempo-synced effects and ultra-quick track changes, this performance showcases the cutting edge of turntablism and controllerism using the latest digital DJing technology.

Also check out DJ Rafik doing an outstanding Traktor X1 Routine!!!

So here’s Dj Q-Bert using both systems side by side in a quick demo for you to see yourself!

Check the vid to get an impession of Q scratching the time code vinyls on both digital vinyl systems.

Regarding to Qbert it’s mainly only up to the software. Both systems contain well developed and stable hardware and it is hard to put one system up front.

words of Woody:
“You’d think i’d have ventured in the world of AV before now. Truth is i’ve been really eager to get on it for years but the DVDJ’s never did it for me, now technology has caught up for those wanting the authentic vinyl feel to scratch AV, i’m in there like swimwear.
Turntables In Technicolor is my 2 lifelong passions together in one show!”
