The DMC DJ Championship started at DMC’s first DJ Convention in London in 1985. A young Londoner called Roger Johnston won the first event which wasn’t recorded and hardly featured a scratch! The venue was The Hippodrome and at the time was London’s premier and largest club.

It took America’s DJ Cheese in 1986 to bring the best out of the turntables by scratching his way to DMC’s first ever World Title. An unhappy runner-up, Holland’s Orlando Voorn grabbed the mic from the events MC and founder Tony Prince and bellowed the immortal word’s “What is this, a Mixing Competition or a Scratching Competition?”

By the following year, turntable tricks started to establish themselves with the emergence of props, body tricks and a variety of scratching techniques. The rest is history.

This years event was no different, the competition was fierce but a winner still needed to be crowned.
