DMC TECHNICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SOUTHEASTERN REGIONAL — The top American competition for turntablists takes place again, showcasing some of the best battle DJs in the Southeast performing short routines to see who moves on to nationals. Competitors go up against the current U.S. champ, Atlanta’s own Klever. To make it interesting, members of Klever’s crew, the Allies, come up from Miami to perform and compete in a friendly (we hope) rivalry to best one of their own. Masquerade (Ware)?
