Chirp Battle Winner/ Clover Tear Battle Announcement
Wed, 08/14/2013 - 10:37am
Congrats goes out to JB Wizardry on winning the Chirp Battle! It almost sounds like video is sped up but we've confirmed that it's just his own wizardry helping him out… crazy fast! We got his winning submission now on the Chirp page so students can study that along with the lesson now.
So the next battle will be on… Clover Tears! We're looking for a dope demonstration here with an emphasis on being smooth, incorportating different patterns and having variations of rhythms. Remember, Clover Tears are a tear combo using a '2 forward and 2 backward' motion. Check out the official lesson on Clover Tears here or watch the promo below for a brief refresher. Also lots of good tips in the Video Exchange Library, just do a search and dig in!
Deadline will be September 2!
2013 US DMC Finals Recap by Stevie E

Stevie E was at the DMC Finals in NYC and provided us with a bangup recap of his experience which includes some quotes from the competitors. Check it out and also be sure to read Billy Jam's DMC writeup here!
So the DMC US finals took place at Stage 48 in NYC this past weekend and I was lucky enough to attend the event. I have been following the DMC battles since I got into DJing in the early 2000s and I have to say this battle was by far the best the US has seen in years!
Some say "real" DJ battles are dead but after watching an event like this it proved that battling is alive and may be stronger than ever! In my opinion the turnout was great. It seemed that there were way more people in the crowd than last year. I was able to meet a lot of cool turntablism fans from all over which is always really a great experience.
