DJ BATTLE

What a crazy weekend....This was def one of my craziest weekends this year so far.

I went to the DJ BATTLE in VA at Velocity 5 in Centreville VA. Its a 4 week event. I went out there to support the bro' DJ CABEZON. There were 4 DJ's. DJ Twizm(eliminated), Dj Heat, Dj Eunique(eliminated). This battle was all about who plays hot records to move the crowd.
Everybody had their choice of weapons from CD-J's to the growing popular Sorato.

The first dj was DJ TWIZM from Baltimore. Being first is tough, but if you go first you gotta go hard or go home. His weapon of choice was the CD-J's and started his set with what sounded like a local artists rappin over a weak beat with bad recording. It did not sound official. Then it went into a blend of Baltimore club music and some kind of Trip Hop mix that you would hear if you were overdosed on extacy with prescripition pills. He played the same sample for over 4-5mins. I gotta admit he did a good job sampling songs creating a new sound (including sir mixalots bigg butt). But in this Dj Battle i dont think folks in VA like Bmore music which kept them away from the dance floor. I even saw this one girl who appeared to be annoyed and making funny faces, and I did not seem him switch CDS...lol.....

Next up was CABEZON..who had an advantage of local supporters. He started playing some good Hip Hop dance records like Lil Jons Pitbulls collabs "Shots" as well as some other current hits, he blended some Dancehall, and ended it with a blend of West Coast mx..Over 100 people were dancing at the bar and then joined the dance floor, everywhere I looked i saw girls dancing, and people were having a good time .HE KILLED IT plus he knew when to scratch on the records and his trademark electric baby voice "Dj Cab-e-zon".

Next was DJ EUNIQUE who had to keep the crowd amped but was not as successful even by playing some popular club tracks like Lil Boosies "Wipe Me down" and Lil Waynes "go dj". He played the wrong records at the wrong time. He even seemed to be favorited by the WPGC folks.

DJ HEAT did a great job by bringing the people back to the dance floor playin some great records like "Black & Yellow" he did a good job of blending the songs and keeping up with the crowd. He might give DJ CABEZON some competition on the next round as they both advance to the next round, but according to sources CABEZON is working on some tricks up his sleeve...hehehehehe
