The 2004 DMC
World Championship weekend was held at the Carling Apollo Hammersmith
on September 4th & 5th in London, England. Canada was well represented in
all three competitions. Drastik in the Battle for World Supremacy,
the Funky Teknicianz in the World Teams Battle and DJs Brace
& Dopey in the Technics DMC World Finals.
The DJ Championships weekend kicked off on Saturday with the
2004 DMC Battle for World Supremacy.
Canada's Drastik battled all the way to the Semi Final round. He
first beat China's DJ Shorty in the first round, then beat New
Zealand's Manchoo in the Quarter Final. Drastik was defeated in the
Semi Final round by UK's Silk Kuts, but Drastik was clearly the
crowd favorite. The Supremacy Battle's final outcome was really
pre-determined with the outstanding Semi Final round of USA's I.Emerge
and Japan's Akakabe.
