For 25 incredible boundary pushing, trend setting, scratched, cut and mixed years, the world's largest DJ organization, DMC, has been the authority on the DJ battle. The DMC's annual World DJ Championship competition brings together the world's brightest DJ talents, vetted by a series of gruelling global heats. By doing so, DMC continues to host one of the most entertaining and jaw dropping shows you will ever witness. This year's show is no different. In the 25th Anniversary of this prestigious competition, DMC is bigger than ever…

On September the 11th and 12th, the Indig02 will see the DJ event of the year shake the very foundations of the entire infamous Dome. For the 25th Anniversary the stakes are higher than ever for the winners of this momentous year. And DMC are pulling all the stops to make sure this is not just a competition, but in the true essence of the DJ, a party to remember. With competitors from over 30 countries spanning the globe, the truly international DMC is bigger than ever.

To kick start the weekend correctly, Friday, September 11th's proceedings see the exhilarating Battle For Supremacy take place, with last year's World Champion DJ Switch defending his title against the planet's very best Supremacy title holders, including this year's UK winner - DJ Rasp. The Team Battles also take place on the day, determining who will follow in the footsteps of the competition's greats of previous years - from France's C2C, Scratch Perverts and the Allies.

In between the intense battles, the charismatic DJ Yoda will present a special live AV performance detailing the 25 Years of DMC, in his own ingenious way. This is bound to be a one-off, extremely exciting performance that is not to be missed!
