Deejay T-Jr. will represent Canada at tonight’s 2023 DMC World Championships in San Francisco

The world’s biggest, longest running, most legendary DJ Battle: The Technics DMC World DJ Finals is coming to San Francisco for the first time ever and Canada’s own Deejay T-Jr. is competing for the world title!

DJ champions from across the globe have made their way to San Francisco to compete at the 2023 Technics DMC World DJ Finals.

14 different DJs from around the world, including Canada’s own Deejay T-Jr., will be trying to take down New Zealand’s K-Swizz as he looks to defend his DMC World Title.

Along with Toronto’s Deejay T-Jr., the competiting DJs include Max Best from Australia, DELightfull from Bulgaria, DJ Erick Jay from Brazil, DJ Shinpa from Brazil, DJ Opia from Czech/Slovak, Luke Rocc from Denmark, DJ Wall Dot from Italy, DJ Fummy from Japan, ADMV from Philippines, Huw Wackman from UK, Knockers from USA (Miami), and Precision from USA (NYC).

Each of the DJs listed will perform a 6-minute DJ battle routine for the judges panel of World famous and World champion turntablists.

They’ll be competiting for prizes from Technics as well as cash prizes from Virtual DJ, the coveted DMC World Champion Jacket and, most importantly, the DMC World title. Most DJs won the national title in their country. Some are World Champions advancing from one of the DMC World online battle categories (Scratch, Beat Juggling, All Vinyl or Portablist). All DJs competing will be competing with two turntables and a mixer. They can choose to use needles or needle-less technology.

Established in 1985, previous champions of the DMC World Finals include Canada’s own A-Trak, Craze, DJ Cash Money, DJ David, Grandmaster Roc Raida, ie.Merg, DJ Fly, Chris Karns, and many more!

2023 Technics DMC Battle for World Supremacy

Along with the fight for the World Title, DMC is also presenting the 2023 Technics DMC Battle for World Supremacy, which is a classic head-to-head DJ battle where DJs are paired up and battle for two rounds of 90 seconds each until there is only one left standing! This is a very interactive battle usually full of disses and hurt feelings. The competing DJs list includes the defending champion, France’s DJ Topic, DJ Raylan from Brazil, DJ Bunta from Japan, and The Beat Molester from USA (Seattle).

Last but not least, there’s also the concert component of the event which features another incredible lineup. They’ve got Dilated Peoples, Mix Master Mike, Invisibl Skratch Piklz, UZ, DJ Kentaro, DJ Rena, as well as 2023 Technics DMC World Scratch champ C-TMB from Belgium. DJ Babu (Dilated Peoples) and DJ Rhettmatic of the World Famous Beat Junkies will be serving as hosts for the evening.

Tickets are available for purchase through Tixr starting as low as $40 USD.
