DMC 2014 WORLD DJ CHAMPIONSHIP DVD with 16 stunning performances from
the 2014 National DMC Champions.

Also featuring a special guest performance by Japan’s KENTARO (2002 DMC
World Champion) together with an exclusive DVD only interview with the
new Champion - Mr.Switch, the previous three time winner of the DMC
Battle for World Supremacy who became the first Brit since Plus One in
2001 to bring the World title back to the UK.
The interview is conducted by Cutmaster Swift (1989 DMC World Champion)
who took the DMC rig to Mr. Switch’s home town Birmingham to watch him
repeat his winning set in multi-angle format with Switch discussing his
influences and provides tips for wannabe World Champions.
The 2014 runner-up was America’s I-Dee with Canada’s Vekked taking third
place.
The DMC Championships staged at London’s Forum were once again supported
by RANE who provided a gold plated Rane Mixer to the winner seen here in
Mr.Switch’s exclusive interview. Pioneer DJ provided additional prizes
including their newly developed turntables which have been well received
within the DJ industry and seen as a long overdue product since the
legendary Technics SL1200’s.
DMC posted the winning performance by Mr.Switch on dmcworld.tv (via
youtube) where it has attracted over 150,000 views already. The sound
quality of this clip included a live audience microphone whilst the
newly released dvd version feeds audio directly from the console.

Mit dieser DVD gewährt Regisseur Eljay Williams intime Einblicke in die hohe Kunst des DJing des X-Man/X-Ecutioners Rob Swift. Nie zuvor hat der in Queens geborene Turntablist so offen über seine Entwicklung, den Weg vom Musik-Junkie bis hin zum fingerfertigen Weltklasse-DJ geplaudert, er lässt sich sogar bei einem seiner klassischen Battle-Sets über die Schulter schauen, als wäre es die normalste Sache der Welt - dabei wird unmissverständlich klar, dass Rob Swifts Denkansatz und seine Herangehensweise sich von den meisten seiner Kollegen unterscheidet. Selbst bei Swifts Tätigkeit bei NYC's Scratch DJ Academy ließ sich Eljay Williams nicht abschütteln. Wer selbst stets auf der Suche nach idealen Breaks und Cuts ist, wird einiges an Inspiration mitnehmen können... Laufzeit: ca. 90 Minuten.
