DJs
DMC’s World DJ Championships, sponsored internationally by Technics and Ortofon, has grown through the years and the formats of the competitions have developed along with the demands. Originally meant to be a DJ mixing battle, DJ Cheese in 1986, introduced scratching in his routine, changing the course of the DMC battles forever.
Since that time, the prestigious Technics / DMC World Champion title has been the most sought after by aspiring DJs / turntablists worldwide!
The only equipment permitted in the Technics DJ Championships is Technics SL1200 turntables and are Technics EX-DJ1200 mixer.
No other equipment is allowed. The DJs are allowed a period of exactly six (6) minutes to impress the judges. The same rules are applied to all competitions around the world.
