New Video: Baauer Routine

​Here is a routine I used in the DMC UK Battle for Supremacy back in July. It features me cutting up the track 'Yaow' by up and coming producer Baauer.  If the routine isn't your cup of tea you can spend 1 minute and 41 seconds gazing at my fine selection of towels. The routine was filmed by Hari Datta.

The video has been featured on the UHHM blog, who also interviewed me earlier this year.

News: I have qualified for the World Online DMC Final 2012

Having reached the final last year, I decided to enter this year's World DMC Online​ battle, a recent addition to the DMC battle series that is now in its second year. The competition allows DJs from all over the world to enter and win a chance to play or compete at the World DMC Final as if you were a national champion (Champion of the Internet does have a nice ring to it!). The judges placed me 2nd out of all the entries, so I'm through to the World Online DMC Final again! The final is held in August, so you'll be able to check my entry then! In the meantime you can watch my entry that qualified me for the final below:
