The 2008 Halifax DMC was smokin!!! With superb hosting skills and playing only da killer tracks, R$ Smooth got the crowd hyped for the battle. The Halifax DMC featured 5 DJs vying for the '08 champ's title. The first DJ to step up was Y-Rush. Expectations were very high because of his excellent performance at the '07 DMC Battle for Canadian Supremacy last summer In Montreal. Though Y-Rush did a great routine he failed to ignite and display his best. DJ Beef was next up. A first time entry in the DMCs and a last minute decision to battle put Beef up front & center performing a tough routine that suffered from technical problems. DJ IV came next. He looked & performed like a champ and the audience response all through his set propelled it to a great finale. Anderoc, the first female competitor in the '08 Canadian DMCs played the set of the night. Her performance was excellent. Though not at the highest levels technically, she wowed everyone with her musical selection and ‘tablist abilities to kill with an entertaining 6 minute battle routine. DJ Spektor was the last DJ to compete. His routine was great – displaying precision in cuts and juggles in a set that would have normally placed in any average DJ battle.
All through the night everyone was entertained by some of the best of Halifax talent – R$ Smooth, Classified, Universal Soul, Ambition, Joe Buck & more. The Celebrity Judges Panel represented the local community with tuff-enuf decisions. The local sponsors provided tonnes of free giveaways, the New Palace was a great venue on all levels and IV, who put this event on, from initial organizing through til the end of the event put together a great DMC show for all that came.
DMC thanks the Halifax area Sponsors for their support: Heineken, Mary Janes Smokeshop, Gravis Footwear, TIN Clothing, Don-Dee's, Anon, Mikes Printhouse, Half-Life, HipHopHits.net & The New Palace Cabaret.
Our thanks to IV League for hosting the event.

Furious P Takes Down The Competition In London - 24/06/2008
Well there you have it, the DMC UK regional championships is over for another year! DMC headed off to London on Saturday 21st June for the final heat of the tour! DMC were pleased to team up with Urban Nerd for our final event, and what an event it was! Great crowd, great show! What more could you ask for?
DMC would like to thank everyone at Urban Nerd for a fantastic event!
As well as the DMC London heat on the night Urban Nerds put on a fantastic line up which included: Legend – Goldie! The Newham Generals, Rattus Rattus and many more! Plus DMC World Champion DJ Rafik and DJ Blakey who was out celebrating his birthday!
Below is Cutmaster Swift's take on the evening:
"Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner that I love…blah, blah, blah, they say you save the best till last and the DMC London heat was certainly one the best I've witnessed in past years, big up's to the Urban Nerds squad who certainly know how to put on great nights!"
After running a very smooth sailing elimination the following 8 contestants provided the evening's entertainment in the following order: Spats, Hostile, Special Guest, Disect, Buckwilde, TGK, Johnny 1 Move & Furious P.
Without doubt this one of the closest heats which resulted with just a point difference between its top three competitors: 1st was a very consistent Furious P who placed 3rd previously in Birmingham, his London performance felt more mature and dynamic!
Second was awarded to a very talented Disect, after delivering some energetic scratch manipulations using various synth's and vocal samples!
Third place went to Johnny 1 move, again in my opinion showing plenty of future potential. Johnny delivered very fast clean scratches and his turntable drumming impressed me the most!
Furious P will now join Pandamonium, Loop Skywalker, Skully, Switch, Jeppa, and Asian Hawk and Rasp (who came second at two heats) at the UK Final on Thursday 17th July…
See you there !!!

Jeppa Cranks Up The Heat In Bournemouth - 19/06/2008
With a full six minutes play time for each DJ, the competition threw up a massively unexpected twist which resulted in a consistent Jeppa placing 1st. "Jeppa's arrangement was the most fluent on the night & his scratches sat tightly throughout his mix which ended with a bass & synth scratch being manipulated!"
After placing second in the Birmingham heat, Asian Hawk returned to Bournemouth to perform his killer set to the energetic crowd. Once again, he took second place behind Jeppa and TGK was awarded third place with just 1 point separating him from Captain Wang who claimed 3rd Place at the Manchester heat.
Clips of all the evenings competitors as well as previous heats are available for viewing through our brand new DMC TV portal, Enjoy!
