Jon Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's on VH1 in the States but I imagine will be on the internets soon. I-Dee and Vajra (now going under his real name Chris Karns) are in the competition this year. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50J6gjVcylo Predictions based on previous years' shows and the trailer: -Judges applaud DJs who trainwreck mixes and can't scratch in time-PRODUCT PLACEMENT-Judges kick out DJs who mix and scratch in time-PRODUCT PLACEMENT-Judges introduce a who's got the best coloured Serato records round -DJ nails his mix but gets criticised for wearing (because real DJs don't need to use heaphones) boring headphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doppelkorn Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Who the fuck are those two that aren't Kid Capri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Just did a google: one's an A&R guy (so obviously knows loads about DJing...) and the other is a Hollywood mash up DJ. Combined with Capri's ability to praise people who trainwreck and can't scratch in time and diss Total Eclipse for scratching in time, it's going to be a really fair result.

Jon Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah, success on the show is largely in relation to the level of your beat-matching: your ability to seamlessly match the colours of your beats by dre headphone strap with the colour of your tshirt and serato records, which are obviously matching anyway because that's a pro DJing standard in Hollywood. I've not seen the show yet. Didn't know Vajra had gone, but thought something was up when Vajra retweeted a tweet I made about bad judging... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dissonance Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 apparently playing music for 90 seconds is now a "set". Fuck this show. and I'm kinda thinking...fuck "Chris Karns" for participating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest broke Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 So it's a pretty realistic depiction of DJ culture in 2013 then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 this is like getting angry at x-factor. its not actually relevant at all is it. what were you actually expecting to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Cannot wait to watch this. From the vibe I've picked up on Facebook, Chris Karns is not happy at all. And it looks like they rip mercilessly into I-Dee, unless of course that's just terrible trailer editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savwar Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 vajkarns just posted this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMpqEFvxCcs yeah it's shit of course, but if i was chris-ra vajkarns and had his profile, fuck it, i'd enter too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 that was much worse than i expected. so i guess none of the judges have heard of/watched DMC... not even Capri? isnt that a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 So we've got the 2011 DMC world champion (who let himself down by only playing two records in his 90 second set) up against a DJ who doesn't like to mix his records cos he feels a wind-down gives people on the dance floor fair warning that he's gonna play a different song? Priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Kid Capri's tips are great: - "it's not about you""the people dictate what kind of service that they really want""don't be selfish"And of course, my favourite: - "if a girl comes up and asks you to play a reggae track, cut the music off, get the lighting guy to shine a spotlight on her, then humiliate her on the mic for 2 minutes in front of the entire club until you realise that her boyfriend is likely to kick your face in, then back down and buy them some drinks while trying to nervously laugh it off" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
