About two weeks ago I stumbled across the following article:

“Controller DJs in Germany & Austria!
Vestax presents a new style battle for those who have mastered the skills of DJing with midi.

Send a 10min video of your mix with a Vestax midi controller to our German distribution wether via e.-mail or regual mail. The deadline is March 15th …

4 winners will be selected to battle at the finals in Frankfurt, April 3rd 2009.”

Unfortunetly, when I read this announcement I haven’t had enough time to turn in a video by myself. But I will definitly visit the event at Tanzhaus West to find out whats going on and what level controllersim has reached in Germany.

Also I will take a cam with me so I can shoot some vids of the event. I will post these vids within the next week here on my page!

Besides the DJ-Battle itself, Ean Golden from djtechtools.com will be judging the event and also be playing a set himself. Also AKD & Koljeticut (IDA World Champions) will be performing!

So I am really looking forward to this event and I will be reporting my impressions and post some vids.
