Music News - Decknology 2010 Grand Champion

Decknology 2010 Grand Champion

03 December 2010 - 0 Comments

The Concrete Club was heaving at the Decknology grand finals, where the top 5 DJs who made through the grueling heats and semis battled it out infront of a tightly packed but amping crowd. At the end, one man remained and that man was Thanks.

The quality of mixing and track selection throughout the whole competition this year was incredibly high and had the judges sweating, with some of Christchurch’s finest DJ talent competing. A large number of entrants saw an eclectic array of styles and genres which only served to make for an amazing event, where Thanks was crowned Grand Champion 2010, with his unique mix of hip hop and dubstep, combined with mad turntablism skills.

Thanks will receive an Akai APC40 and full version of Ableton live 8 thanks to the Rockshop, plus promotional mentoring and campaign thanks to CHART, a free PA hire for a gig thanks to the Greenhorn Company, a set at the M*A*S*S*I*V*E 15TH anniversary gig, and his name blazing forever on the Terminator – RDU’s DJ trophy of glory!

Thanks has been DJing for the past 8 years in whatever capacity he can. In the past three he has been pushing the "future beat sound" in Melbourne, Australia. You can expect anything from his sets with soul to dubstep, hip hop to house, and the occasional Swedish folk track. 

With roots in 90's hip hop Thanks combines the new school electronic sound with traditional sample based beats. Depending on the setting he’ll will keep a party live or provide the soundtrack to a more relaxed setting. Thanks has held weekly residencies at wide variety of Melbourne bars and clubs.
