The DMC Championships is a global event where DJs from across the world compete against each other to be crowned NO.1 DJ in the world and thereby also earning themselves a golden set of turntables.

The South African heats are divided into 4 regional events where DJs play 6 min sets showcasing every conceivable skill whilst using only turntables, mixer and vinyl records.

Each event will be jam packed with cutting edge turntablism as well as fat after parties featuring some of the best DJs in South Africa!
