What A Weekend!

Sorry for the lack of post over the past 5 days... it's been abit crazy for me!
Heres the lowdown...

Friday night was all about 'Fresh' at Winkers, i was deejaying with Ultra MC, he had that smash Channel U and MTV Base track 'Perfect Girl' which he performed live along with hosting too.



Saturday i had other business aside from music to attend to!

Sunday i was up at 8.30am to head up to Donnington Park in Nottingham for the annual BPM event. BPM showcases all the latest in DJ technology and also has all of the biggest names down there such as Pioneer, Denon and DMC. I headed straight for the DMC stand where i watched Skully do his thing! Shouts to DJ Cable, Switch, Loop Skywalker, Rafik (who i haven't caught up with since winning the CK ONE event last November) and the legend Cutmaster Swift. It was big! Oh and you know that mixer that Semtex rocks on Dizzie's tour? The SVM 1000, i tried it out and its illllll!!







Monday night was the Young DJ of The Year competition, i was up against 2 other big under 18 DJ's. In the house was MTV, Models 1 and the cast of Hollyoaks. I was up 2nd and i killed it! I was soso nervous, i was up infront of thousands of screaming people... the last thing i wanted to do was clear the floor! So i won and got the prize of a Wii given to me by 'Kiran' from Hollyoaks... i don't actually watch it so i didn't have a clue who he was but still. The rest of the prize included contacts with London's biggest promoters... keep it locked on here for more info! So its official, i am the Young DJ of The Year 2008!



Now back to my college work...

DMC UK DJ Finals

So on Thursday night i rushed back from Manchester to head over to the Carling Academy for the DMC UK Finals, the night would see who goes through to the World Finals in the O2 Arena in September (i'll be down there too). The night was crazy, Trip was the host for DMC along with 1989 winner DJ Cutmaster Swift (in the picture below with me) providing the Hip Hop whilst the stage was getting changed and new DJs were brought on.



Shouts to Sally the main woman behind everything that happens at DMC - she puts in alot of work and also for hooking me up with the VIP tickets. DJ Cable was also in the place judging the Battle For Supremacy along with Shadow, X Rated and more.

The main man Tony Prince was also in the place, he's still got it!

CKIN2U is a big sponser for the event so there was a few heads representing for Calvin Klein, shouts to Natalia and the crew.

So the final line up looked like this:

3rd - DJ Switch
2nd - DJ JFB
1st - DJ Scully... would you belive i stepped out for a bloody McDonalds whilst he was on, so pissed off i missed him seriously but apparently he did his thing hard and brought Hip Hop back to DMC's, im going to have to buy the DVD!
