The official oz chapter of the infamous ITF DJ Battle is back in town with a new look, new format, and even a new name. The ITF was founded in 1996 to highlight and categorise different skills the DJs had. Past world champs include Babu, Craze, Infamous, I-Emerge, A Track, Woody, Tigerstyle, Rafik, and J Red. Past team champs include X-Ecutioners, Beat Junkies, Allies, and Invisibl Skratch Piklz (Q Bert, Mix Master Mike, and Shortkut).
In 2006 all chapters across the globe decided the need for a change with new formats and new rules and hence the changes. ITF chapters (International Turntablist Federation) is now known as IDA (International DJ Association). Australia has not seen a head to head DJ Battle since 2005 and we are proud to announce it's return at the arts capital of Australia, Melbourne. In celebration of the return we are inviting our Asian neighbors to make this event an exclusive battle of the whole South Asian region. The DJs have just 2 minutes to showcase their skills in knock out rounds going head to head. As Mix Master Mike once stated “I much prefer the head to head format as it is more spontaneous and sporadic”. Not to take away anything from our first religion DMC where it is more mainstream and showcase format.. this format is simply a more underground style of battling. Hence we have chosen Melbourne’s underground hip hop venue “First Floor"
Competetors include : DJ Impact (2008 New Zealand DMC DJ Champion), DJ Perplex (2006,07,08 Australian DMC DJ Champ), DJ Zeke (2008 Australian DMC runner up), DJ B2Wo (2007 Australian DMC runner up/ 08 VIC DMC Champ), DJ Osyris S.A (2008 VIC DMC Runner Up), DJ Elev8 (2008 DMC VIC 3rd Place), DJ Typhonic (2008 NSW DMC 2nd place), DJ Kilo (skratchfest2007 champ), DJ Tune, DJ Code, DJ n.Cision and DJ Dizar (Back from U.K).
