Is this the NEXT LEVEL of DJ BATTLES?? Thoughts?

COSTIK 8:28 PM - 27 March, 2012
Here is my performance from the 2012 Winter Music Conference that was held in Miami Beach, Florida.

Innovation can be challenging in any art form. After countless hours of thinking about how I could accomplish this in re of Video DJ-ing, I simply went back to my basics, Turntablism... Here is my attempt to push the envelope and merge the two cultures together. ENJOY!!!

PS... This is just the beginning...

FUCK!

No bullshit. That was the best VIDEO (not visuals) set I've ever seen in my life.

Mind = blown.

Big up.

"is this the next level of dj battles?"

to answer the specific question; yes, i believe so.
you are incorporating Djing, tablism, controllerism, and Vjing.

what other aspects of Djing are there? are there others not featured?
i'd like to know because i can not think of any.
COSTIK 3:15 PM - 28 March, 2012
THANK you guys... I'm truly humbled by the response ive been getting from this performance... I took a chance on tryin to merge the two cultures and it seems to have paid off... I'm happy to see others that share my vision and passion for both art forms... I hope this opens doors to many more Turntablist based sets.. This is only the beginning and I'm excited to see where this takes us...

The WMC 2013 Video DJ Battle is next week... Here's my routine from last year... Because it was really the first of its kind as far as a Turntablist Video battle routine, I'm curious to see how many people will take this route this year with their own routines...

Ditto Costik! Metcalf recorded his set and said he'd be uploading it once he got back home and Blaze is awaiting crowd videos.
