This weekend (September 12th) sees the 25th annual DMC World DJ Championships take place at London’s IndigO2 – with the UK represented by the eclectic style of Jeppa.
Jeppa won over the judges at the UK final with his blend of hip-hop and drum & bass and razor-sharp cutting and scratching, and in support of his fight this weekend, we asked him to show us his skills in a very special 3-part Podcast, mixing up hip-hop from both sides of the pond with rowdy drum & bass anthems. It’s not showboating all the way through – but you can hear his impressive skills in the first part of the mix, and then enjoy some damn fine tunes thereafter.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Hip-hop track Chill done by Dubblege, D&B track If I Could by High Contrast and Logistics.
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
The ingredient is the scratching.
What’s the best gig you’ve played recently?
Well the best gig I have played at recently has to be the DMC UK Final this year at Islington academy, where I became UK champion!
What have you got coming up?
Coming up this weekend is the DMC World Finals at IndigO2, 11th and 12th September!
I’m also playing on the 23rd September at Hootananny in Brixton! I have been working on albums lately too, so watch out!
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Take life easy and enjoy the music.
