Technics fest

Wowza. After last weekend's bank holiday madness, you would think that the following few days would be a great opportunity to chill out and recharge the batteries, but no, here comes another couple of nights of absolute must-see action.

This is the undisputed No.1 mixing comp in the world, which has been setting the turntablist scene alight since 1986, with some legendary hip-hop winners, including Cash Money, Cutmaster Swift, Q-Bert, Roc Raida and Craze.

Saturday 4 Sep features a live performance from the mighty Jungle Brothers amid all the edge-of-your-seat World Supremacy and Team Championship battles (watch out for C2C defending their title), while Sun 5 Sep brings us an always emotional and exciting Individual World DJ Championships Final contest, which this year is hosted by the Spit Kingdom Soundsystem featuring Killa Kela, MC Trip and Skeletrik, alongside a live show courtesy of The X-Ecutioners. Canada's 2003 winner DJ Dopey will be trying to regain his crown against some 24 rival countries, who will all be aiming for gold down at The Apollo. Simply an unmissable event.
