DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and
Wu Tang Clan member GZA have teamed up to headline a concert for the 20th anniversary
of the DMC/Technics World DJ Championships.
The DMC/Technics World DJ Championships is an annual competition that features
thousands of DJ’s competing for the worldwide DMC DJ title. The finalists are
chosen through various competitions held world wide.
The winners from the individual competitions then compete for the title at
a final competition. The DJ’s must complete a six minute set using Technics
SL1200 turntables and a Technics EX-DJ1200 mixer. The DJs are then evaluated
by a panel of judges on their performance.
The DMC/Technics Championships were created in 1986 and have continued annually
for the last twenty years. Past guests have included DJ Cheese, DJ Q-bert, Rock
Steady DJ’s, Kentaro, A-Trak, D####, I-Emerge and others.
In addition to the headlining performance at the DMC/Technics
World DJ Championships, DJ Muggs and GZA are gearing up for the release of their
collaborative album entitled DJ Muggs vs. GZA: Grandmasters on Angeles
Records.
The DMC/ Technics Championships will be held in London England
