DJ Vekked on the Mikidz Show (13 June 2016)

Red Bull 3style Lucky Bastid 2016 submissions - Ones to watch

I'm a fan of pretty much all DJ'ing, regardless of what type of music is going on and when I can understand what the DJ is doing! (happens less and less with all the tech these days admittedly).

Whilst it's probably still a close third to the DMC's and IDA comps I do still check the entries for the Red Bull 3style comp every year too and had a look at some of the Lucky Bastid (wild card) submissions, here's some that are well worth a watch....

DMC Online 2016 Final Round - Review

 

I'm always really keen to check the DMC online finalist's videos and even more so this year that I got some time to put a routine together myself.

I thought Skillz and Throdown would storm my round (round 6) and it seems they did, although I liked Throdown's 2 minutes slightly ahead of Skillz, but the judges thought otherwise.

The following top 5 are my choices (in no way linked to the judges' scores) along with some of my observations, sick routines throughout!!

Let Me Introduce Myself.........

Yo!

I got asked by the good man ABBFunk to contribute to the blog and wanted to introduce myself to everyone.
