The DMC/Technics weekend 2005

Not many countries in the world can boast about having two World DMC champions performing in the same country over 2 days.

A-trak won the competition at 15 in 1997 (yes, at the age when you weren't even legally allowed to enter a club) and Craze owns the honour of winning in 3 times in a row (1998 to 2000).

DMC has been seeing winners of different nationalities for the past few years (Danish, German, Japanese etc). Lets hope that someday we will have a Singaporean turntablist putting us on the DMC map.
