Lordz Of Fitness

This post is coming a little late, but better late than never as they say. The DMC World Finals took place a few weeks back (Oct 6th -7th) at the Indig02 Arena in London, England. This was the first time in three years i haven't competed in the world finals (let alone not go at all) and i must say it was somewhat heartbreaking. The DMC finals weekend is like a dreamland for dj's. For me, it's more like a 3 day bender of booze and jetlag with good friends from all over the world, haha seriously such a dope time. Meeting legends in the game like Rob Swift to Qbert or even sitting next to Gza at breakfast! Who knows what could happen! Either way, i look back on those three years and i'm happy to have been a part of such an amazing event. Its really rad, Thanks DMC! Anyways, i wanted to post a little something about my German amigo's,The Lordz Of Fitness Crew! These guys have been running the turntablist/battle game for a minute now and all together have won almost every world title there is to win! Most recently, the 2007 World DMC finals. This year the honors go to the homie Rafik! After placing second to I-Emerge in 2004 and 3rd in 2006, he finally took the crown as the worlds best turntablist for 07! Dude's routine was just straight bonkers (even with some skips!)! I know i probably shouldnt be posting this and it will most likely get taken off youtube soon (go buy the dvd when it drops god damn it!) but here it is none the less! Well deserved Raf!



Rafik's crewmate, Kid Fresh, has also been on his grizzly putting out killer mixes via the blog world. Being a world champion himself (ITF Teams with his crew and ITF Beatjuggling), he's able to bring that turntablist element to his mixes and remixes that only a select few can really fuck with. He stands out in this jaded time of "ipod dj's", straight goods! Here's one of my favorite Kid Fresh mixes as well as his amazing Lil Mama "Lip Gloss" Remix. Stellar work all round! Large ups to the Lordz!
