Djoust - Midlands Heats, Rainbow
D Joust - Midlands Heats, 6th September, Rainbow
The Midlands Djoust heats kicked off at the Rainbow back in August, and the second heat was held last sat 6th September. Dj RCaine (Russ to his friends), is a top notch dj and was host to the midlands heats, from previous experience we knew we were in for a quality nights entertainment and hard wax grooving.
Dj’s battled it out in the Rainbow’s very own courtyard, and played a varied mixture from Jackin’ House to Minimal and Techno. Competition was tight, and not suprising since they were all battling for a place in the next stage of the competition, taking place in London.
Keeping score were experienced Dj’s and judges, Boogie Dave, Viny Kohli and Russ RCaine. Bass6 worked hard all night providing MC support.
Up to battle were EnigmatiK (Worcester), DJ Adam Horton (West Midlands), MissB (Barnsley), DJ Chris Kitchen (Mersyside) and Shep (Newcastle).
The judges were in for a tough time, as every single one of the Dj’s smashed the crowds with tight, thoughtful and creative sets. However, after a tight fight, and lots of pondering and adding up of numbers, it was MissB who was crowned best of the Midlands/North and is now getting ready to skip down to London to continue her quest for the DJoust 2008 title.
